Wolves’ summer signing Carlos Forbs, who joined the club from Ajax on the final day of the transfer window, has captured the attention of former defender Lee Naylor for an aspect of his game that seems to be causing frustration.
While Forbs’ arrival sparked excitement after Wolves were first linked with him during Pedro Neto’s transfer to Chelsea, Naylor has pointed out some concerns about his gameplay. Despite the initial anticipation, Forbs has only made three substitute appearances and is yet to start a match.
Naylor highlighted Forbs’ tendency for careless passing as a consistent issue, suggesting that the young winger needs to improve his ball control and concentration throughout the full 90 minutes. Despite showing glimpses of his potential, especially in the recent game against Liverpool, where he played a role in Wolves’ goal, Forbs has struggled with his passing accuracy in the limited time he has been given on the pitch.
Manager Gary O’Neil has opted to experiment with different players in the wide positions, often favoring other options over Forbs, such as Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Naylor believes that players like Forbs should be given more opportunities in their preferred positions to showcase their talents.
As Forbs continues to adapt to life at Wolves, it is important to give him time to settle in and find his rhythm. His explosive style of play may not emphasize precise passing, but his unpredictability on the field could provide an exciting dimension to the team’s attack moving forward.
