da brwin： This week, Nuno Santo confirmed that he would like all of his players to have picked up Premier League minutes before the season ends.
In the process, he hinted that goalkeeper Will Norris, who has been left in the shadows, might play for the first time this term.
At the moment, Wolves are in the driving seat to secure a Europa League place. Sitting in seventh, three points above their nearest competitors Leicester.
However, by playing fringe players and rotating the squad, Nuno’s team could be at a big risk of missing out on the Europan football they’ve dreamed about.
As such, he can’t afford to change his team.
On the chalkboard
Wolves fans will remember the final day of last season all too fondly. Facing the possibility of achieving 100 points, the manager rotated and as a result, they suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to already relegated Sunderland.
It was a terrible end to a fantastic season. It may not have mattered but with the club on the verge of realising their European ambitions, they can’t afford for it to happen again.
Norris has been a complete professional this season, travelling with the team to each match but not actually featuring. He was the clubs regular cup ‘keeper last season, playing in four Carabao Cup games and two FA Cup clashes.
But if his performance against Sunderland on the final day last term is anything to go by, Wolves must avoid playing him.
The Midlands side has lacked depth this season and, when they have tried to offer minutes to the likes of Ivan Cavaleiro and Helder Costa, they’ve rarely provided moments of quality.
A Wolves fan shares his most gutting moment of the last 10 years supporting the club in the video below…
Achieving Europa League football ahead of next season may have an adverse effect, as it did with Burnley, but it would be foolish for Nuno to dismiss their possible chances.
Wolves have a fantastic starting XI but beyond that there is a real lack of consistency.
If the management team decided to switch up the side, especially on the final day at Liverpool, it could turn out to be disastrous.
