We asked for your views on whether you felt that there was a growing disconnect between the Wolves supporters and the team.
Here are some of your comments:
Dave: Absolutely there is a disconnect. The atmosphere is terrible. We have reverted to singing songs about former players because we don’t have any about the current crop. We could revert to The Stranglers ‘No More Heroes’.
Mervyn: No one can blame Rob Edwards for our current position. Previous managers were left with players not suitable for the Premier League. Wolves’ owners, Fosun, creamed the sales of really good players. If you look at those players, they have proved that they were good enough for the Premier League. What Wolves were left with, apart from about four players, are players who only earn their wages and are not committed to the club or the fans. Fosun must now prove to the club that they still are the company to move us back to the Premier League. Without good investment Wolves will linger in the Championship for a long time.
Jon: Fosun spoilt us in the early years, albeit without much-needed Steve Bull stand redevelopment. The fans, players, and club were rocking along with Nuno in command. We could go through the divisions unless Fosun repeat it. The false economy has landed us here with cut-price recruitment. If there is no appetite, then the reset starts with selling the club.

Terry: Unfortunately, Wolves fans do expect miracles every week. The atmosphere that results is a negative doom loop. Remember how they treated Mick at the time? Wasn’t ‘Super Mick’ then…
Phil: There is not much love for most of this current group of players, simply because a lot of them don’t care about the club, or are just not good enough. The fans turn up in numbers expecting to see some fight and pride in wearing our famous old gold shirts. But the truth is we are simply a pay day for most of these inept players. Players like Joao Gomes, Andre, Hugo Bueno, Ladislav Krejci, Rodrigo Gomes and Adam Armstrong will get good wishes. But the rest would struggle in League One. Jackson Tchatchoua would struggle in a decent Sunday morning side. Rob Edwards has no idea and is definitely not the way forward. Get Nuno back home and let’s start again.
Alan: I’ve supported Wolves since 1950 – through the good and bad times. I genuinely thought after the Bhatti era that Wolves had learnt their lesson, but here we are again with Fosun. I don’t even look at the results any more, and I won’t until Fosun have gone.
Andrew: I can’t understand how Rob Edwards can say things are working well and that there’s lots of effort in training, then on matchday all I see is players pointing at each other and a total lack of skill?
