“Shocking performance—he played like he had just woken up. Fans furious, calling for him to be dropped from the squad after defeat to Nottingham Forest.”

Fans Rage as Goncalo Guedes Faces Backlash After Wolves’ Defeat to Nottingham Forest

Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered a humbling 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, and amid the frustration from fans, one player has come under intense scrutiny — Goncalo Guedes. The Portuguese forward’s lackluster performance during the match left many supporters furious, questioning his commitment and readiness.

From the first whistle, Wolves appeared disjointed and were quickly overpowered by Steve Cooper’s well-organized Forest side. Guedes, who had been expected to play a pivotal role, failed to make any significant impact. His performance was labeled as “sluggish” and “uninspired” by frustrated fans, who took to social media to voice their displeasure.

“He Played Like He Just Woke Up”

Guedes’ performance was the subject of widespread criticism. Supporters were particularly vocal about how he seemed to lack energy and urgency on the pitch. One fan summed it up succinctly, saying: “He played like he just woke up. Absolutely no desire, no movement, nothing.”

While Guedes has shown flashes of his talent since joining Wolves, this performance seemed a far cry from the kind of displays fans were hoping for when he was brought into the squad. Throughout the match, he failed to create any real chances, was easily dispossessed, and appeared disconnected from his teammates. As the game wore on, it became clear that the 26-year-old was not offering the attacking threat Wolves so desperately needed.

The Fans Are Fuming

The defeat to Nottingham Forest, which saw goals from Taiwo Awoniyi, Willy Boly, and Morgan Gibbs-White, only deepened the sense of frustration among Wolves supporters. The performance as a whole was poor, but Guedes’ individual display stood out as one of the most underwhelming. After the match, fans took to Twitter, demanding a response from both Guedes and the management.

“Send him out of the squad!” one irate fan posted. “We can’t afford to carry passengers, especially when we need goals and creativity. He’s just not delivering.”

Others echoed similar sentiments, urging that the Portuguese international be dropped from the starting lineup in favor of other options. Some fans even went as far as to suggest he should be sold in the upcoming transfer window if his form doesn’t improve.

Is There a Bigger Issue?

Guedes’ lack of impact on the game raises questions about his role in the team. When Wolves signed him from Valencia last summer, expectations were high, given his experience in La Liga and the potential he showed as a versatile attacking player. However, despite occasional glimpses of quality, he has struggled to find consistent form in the Premier League.

Wolves’ manager Gary O’Neil will undoubtedly face questions about Guedes’ future in the squad following such an uninspiring performance. With the team languishing near the bottom of the Premier League table, every point is vital, and players who fail to contribute effectively are bound to come under heavy scrutiny.

The Wolves faithful will be hoping that the loss to Nottingham Forest acts as a wake-up call for both Guedes and the squad as a whole. If the club is to climb out of the relegation battle, they will need all their players to be firing on all cylinders. Unfortunately, based on his performance against Forest, Guedes appears to have a lot of work to do if he is to win back the trust and support of the Wolves faithful.

As the season progresses, it remains to be seen whether Goncalo Guedes can rediscover his form or if this latest performance will signal the end of his time at Molineux. For now, the frustration among Wolves fans is palpable, and Guedes will be under intense pressure to turn things around quickly.
