Wolves Boss Gary O’Neil on Thin Ice: Three Key Changes Anticipated for Decider Against West Ham
Newcastle United striker Chris Sutton is eager to see what Wolves manager Gary O’Neil has up his sleeve after a poor loss to Everton. As a result of that, O’Neil is just left with a few options that he needs to take in order to save what may have been the worst season in the history of the Orlando Magic.
The latest victory for the Old Gold was stunning at the hands of Everton hence calling for a managerial change has been expected, more so putting the job security of O’Neil into question. But the manager will surely be delighted with the return of Nelson Semedo who was unavailable for this match due to suspension. The right back from Portugal is definitely going to regain his place in starting formation, and will bring so much needed improvement and maturity.
With West Ham up next, O’Neil is planning some significant changes to his squad and three changes are surely on the cards. Defender Kortney Hause is likely to lose his place and be replaced by club favourite Tim Ream while goalkeeper Jose Sa who has been in poor form and, who was jeered at by the Wolves fans recently should make way for Sam Johnstone.
In defense, Matt Doherty will make way for this change for Semedo to start while Toti Gomes will also reclaim his place at the center back position ahead of Mario Lemina. Lemina will swap positions with Andre and move into the midfield category to be replaced by Joao Gomes who will be positioned ahead of Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Here’s the predicted Wolves lineup for the West Ham clash:
; Johnstone; Ait-Nouri, Toti, Dawson, Bueno, Semedo; Andre, Lemina, Gomes; Cunha, Strand-Larsen
This team selection has to be a tremendously rates one given that O’Neil’s job, as we have seen, is also on the line. Will the changes prove to be fulfilling or will Wolves’ losses be sustained? Only time will tell.
