Wolves readies for a trip to Fulham this weekend with good and bad omens, coming off a victory over Southampton last week. Wolves are looking to build on their momentum after beating Southampton 2-0 with goals from Pablo Sarabia and Matheus Cunha. Fabio Silva shone on the international stage, but Santiago Bueno’s injury setback mars preparation minniemoments causeplaydegree 2023 insulatedpaddle by James West (562) written by James West READ MORE Dec 16, 2021 We’ve all been through a fair bit of trouble during covid and not least FC Porto.
Bueno, the 23 year-old Uruguayan returning to Compton with a groin injury picked up on international duty. And now, amid controversy over the refereeing selection for the Fulham clash, – Rob Jones being appointed to take charge. The Premier League and Championship veteran Jones, who has shown a mixed disciplinarian as far back as his time with Wolves having produced 20 yellow cards and one red card over this two seasons tenure, arrives in South Wales at an interesting juncture.
Wolves were especially irked when Jones was involved in a contentious penalty decision that went against them last season against Sheffield United. The decision on that contentious call left manager Gary O’Neil furious, claiming Jones had a ‘terrible’ night while also disputing the penalty given. It was a call that drew widespread criticism, including from Lineker, Keown and Murphy. This weekend, Wolves will be hoping for a mute button on deju vu.
