  2. Player of the season - what fans are saying so farpublished at 12:31 24 May

    Your views banner

    We asked you to pick your player of the season after our Wolves fan contributor narrowed it down to Emmanuel Agbadou, Joao Gomes, Matheus Cunha and Nelson Semedo.

    Here are some of your comments, as well as some new names thrown into the ring:

    Jim: It was a toss-up between Agbadou and Gomes. I chose Agbadou as the defence has been transformed, becoming much meaner, providing the platform to turn draws into wins.

    Simon: Jorgen Strand Larsen should be on the list. While he's had a couple of quiet stretches and the odd injury, he's been excellent. Plenty of goals and assists, wonderful hold-up play and, at times, sublime touches to create goals or chances. We've been crying out for a solid number nine since Raul Jimenez left. We now have one and he's scoring goals. He should at least had an honourable mention. Now pay the fee Wolves and make it permanent!

    Mike: My player of the season is Andre. He has been consistent throughout the season, snuffing out danger and turning defence into attack with his incredible passing accuracy. An honourable mention should go to Strand Larsen in his first season - he will only get better.

    Malone: Forget what happened off the pitch. The simple fact is before Vitor Pereira's arrival we would not have survived without Cunha. In fact, Vitor might not even have come, given the dire state we were in. Of course, we did well while Cunha was suspended, but so we should. It was high time others stepped up in his absence. He is a glorious player to watch - truly world class.

    Brian: Every match throughout the season, Gomes has worn the shirt with pride and given 100%.

    Rhys: Gomes has been outstanding this season. What a player along with new signing Andre. He truly deserves Wolves' player of the season.

    Don't forget to make your selection

  3. Wolves v Brentford: Did you know?published at 11:14 24 May

    Following their 5-3 win in the reverse fixture, Brentford are looking to complete their first league double over Wolves since the 2015-16 Championship campaign.

    Wolves have lost their final league match in each of the past seven seasons by an aggregate score of 19-2. They have also lost their final game in nine of their 10 Premier League campaigns, with the exception being a 2-1 win over Sunderland in 2009-10.

    Brentford have scored 65 goals in the Premier League this season, their most in a top-flight campaign since 1937-38 (69 goals). Their conversion rate in 2024-25 is 15.2%, the best of any side.

  4. Pereira on team news, finishing the season strong, and Brentfordpublished at 14:13 23 May

    Wolves boss Vitor Pereira has been speaking to the media before Sunday's final Premier League game against Brentford (kick-off 16:00 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Striker Jorgen Strand Larsen may not be fit enough to play: "We have doubts. He is trying. We will see tomorrow."

    • Pereira said his aim is to achieve European football at Wolves very soon as the "money" is vital for the club.

    • On the turnaround in form since his appointment in December: "I feel proud of everybody because it is from teamwork. I feel proud of the players and all the staff in the club because we struggle a lot to finish the season and keep our position in the Premier League."

    • However, Pereira did say Wolves "made a lot of not usual mistakes" against Crystal Palace on Tuesday, which cost them the game.

    • On finishing the season strongly: "Our focus is the game. The team deserves to finish with a win, but we must prove the quality and that we are mentally there because sometimes the mind is looking for the holidays. A lot of them go to their national teams so there is only a short time to rest. We need to put effort in to compete and get three points."

    • On Wolves' plans for the summer: "It is important to bring players that want to come - that want to live in Wolverhampton - and play in the best league in the world with the character and the personality to work in a simple but beautiful city."

    • More on recruitment and club targets: "Now is the time to understand the players that we need to balance the squad. They [the recruitment department] usually propose some players. Me and my staff check and in the end, we decide. It is not about money but quality."

    • He is unsure which players might leave at the end of the season but noted that it is always a good time to show gratitude to the home fans, irrespective of a player's future.

    • On Brentford: "They are strong and consistent in the way they play. They have a manager who has been working for a long time at the same club - but it is not about them. It is about us."

  5. 'Catching up to midfield group will require a busy summer'published at 09:57 22 May

    One problem with 'dead' games at the end of the season - aside from the unsatisfactory description - is that the apparently low stakes leave too much time for wandering thoughts, reading things between the lines of the teamsheet that might not be there.

    Hence, after the team news dropped at Selhurst Park, it was tempting to look for deeper meaning in it, especially bearing in mind that Vitor Pereira had said he would not be giving "gifts" of places in the team to fringe players as some sort of thanks for training patiently in the background.

    "It is time to understand what they can give to us," Pereira told me afterwards, and that seems a perfectly sensible use of the last week of the season in the circumstances, notwithstanding the financial value of every position in the final table.

    Players are scrutinised in training as never before, but the best way to measure the progress that, for example, Nasser Djiga has made since joining the club was to give him his first Premier League start. It is by no means certain that even the 'strongest available' team would have won anyway, against a confident Crystal Palace side.

    Whatever Pereira learned about individual players, the past two games have at least indicated the scale of the work to be done to meet the ambitions he shares with the supporters. As Pereira pointed out recently, their past three opponents of the season - Brighton, Palace and Brentford - are all in the bracket of clubs he believes Wolves should be capable of joining.

    They have been quite comfortably outpointed by the first two. "They have tactical quality and they have very good players - that's why they did the season that they did and we must be in our best level," said Pereira in the Selhurst Park media room, regretting his team's mistakes.

    These games, then, are 'dead' only in the sense of no overall jeopardy. For all the players given a rare opportunity, they are very much live - their best chance to show Pereira there is no need to buy a new starter in that position.

    Could the manager really, as I heard it suggested later, have selected a team to make a point to his employers about the need to spend? It seems unlikely he would need to do that. But the past two games - and the league table, with 12 clubs now over 50 points - suggest the midfield group has become stronger this season, and catching up will require a busy summer.

  6. Pick your Wolves player of the seasonpublished at 12:27 21 May

    Dazzling Dave
    Fan writer

    Emmanuel Agbadou, Joao Gomes, Matheus Cunha, Nelson Semedo

    We asked our Wolves fan contributor for their four candidates for player of the season and you can now select your top one.

    Emmanuel Agbadou

    What a difference Agbadou has made since arriving in January. He took command of the Wolves defence from day one, showing real leadership at the back. Calm as a cucumber, composed and in total control - he is a true Rolls-Royce of a defender. His strength and presence have been key to the team's turnaround. Agbadou's influence cannot be overstated. He has transformed the backline and lifted the whole side.

    Joao Gomes

    Known as "The Pitbull" for good reason, Gomes delivers every week, even when the team were struggling. His close control and fierce attitude make him a vital force in midfield. Aggressive and relentless in his pressing, Gomes is a nightmare to play against and stands out as one of the toughest opponents in the Premier League.

    Matheus Cunha

    Creativity, movement and sharp finishing - Cunha has been at the heart of Wolves' attacking threat. He scores crucial goals, links up play and can unpick defences with a moment of brilliance. Cunha's flair and drive have often been the difference-maker in tight games. His goals in the first half of the season were vital in keeping Wolves in the survival fight.

    Nelson Semedo

    Semedo has been Mr Consistent, stepping up to captain the side during tough times. He leads by example every time he plays. A classy, reliable presence at the back, he is rarely beaten by his opposite number. If Semedo leaves this summer, he will be missed deeply by everyone connected to the club.

    Honourable mention

    Andre. The Brazilian has been a fantastic addition, settling in quickly and making a real impact. He reads the game so well, cutting out danger and turning defence into attack in an instant. His partnership with Gomes has huge potential and deserves every chance to grow and prosper.

  7. Crystal Palace 4-2 Wolves - the fans' verdictpublished at 09:52 21 May

    Joel Ward of Crystal Palace says goodbye after 13 yearsImage source, Getty Images

    We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Wolves at Selhurst Park.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Palace fans

    Al: A great night and a sad one. Great to get record points and Eddie Nketiah netting two goals. Romain Esse looks dangerous. Tears around the ground when Wardy went off in a final goodbye. He was so emotional. Just the champions to beat next at their home. We'll try to get 10th place and then next season begins at Wembley again.

    Englebert: Great performance from the lads that didn't play in the final. Nketiah showing how good a striker he is, with great movement and finishing. Esse with a Zaha-esque run to set up the first goal. Franca and Devenny came on and impressed. Eze scored a simply class goal.

    Phil: I feel sorry for Nketiah. Hopefully he will get more of a look-in next season. He is decent.

    Rob: Party atmosphere from the first to the last minute continued from Saturday's FA Cup win. Great to see Wardy lead the team out for one last time under the lights at Selhurst Park, with an emotional speech at the end. It brings an amazing career and historic season to an end. A team of Joel Wards.

    Mini: What fabulous momentum to end the season with. Here's hoping our stars stick with Palace, especially as we head into Europe.

    Wolves fans

    Scott: Poor and absolutely shocking. This was not a good performance. Give new players a chance for sure, but we didn't have any players who were good except for Strand Larsen. I'm not happy with the full-time scoreline. A poor performance on the pitch.

    Kieran: What has happened? We clearly got complacent after the six-game run. We need to win on the final day and then move on from this inconsistent season.

    Richard: Wolves had a long rest before this match but were out-fought and out-thought. I was surprised at Palace's intensity after their massive FA Cup win - they dominated in tackles and challenges. They were a level above. Wolves' defence parted in a way that I hadn't seen since Gary O'Neil's management. A shocking performance.

    Mark: Typical end of season results. We are safe so the last few games are treated as warm downs or practice matches. End of season performances don't always translate into how the next season will go but we have been mostly poor over the past three or four seasons, twice having to change manager to avoid the drop. I hope it's not third time unlucky next season.

  8. 'We committed mistakes that we cannot commit' - Pereirapublished at 08:47 21 May

    Wolves boss Vítor Pereira has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day about the defeat to Crystal Palace: "We cannot compete at this level if we offer gifts to them and, in my opinion, they [the goals] were four gifts.

    "In the moment we had a chance to score to make it 3-3, we made another mistake and this is not possible. We must be focused until the last minute. We must be at our best level every time.

    "I must speak about the team. As a team, we committed mistakes that we cannot commit. In this league, if you commit a mistake then they will punish you.

    "The Premier League is not a league where we can come here to be a part of the party for them. We come here to compete for the three points."

    After a seven-game unbeaten run (W6 D1), Wolves have lost their past three Premier League games. Vitor Pereira's side have conceded seven goals in that time, as many as in their previous nine matches.

    Half of Jorgen Strand Larsen's 14 Premier League goals for Wolves this season have come since the beginning of March, with the Norwegian striker scoring more goals in the competition than any other player in that time.

  10. Crystal Palace 4-2 Wolves - losing run continuespublished at 22:09 20 May

    Wolves have nothing but pride to play for this season as they sit 14th in the table and Vitor Pereira showed he had one eye on 2025-26 as he made five changes for this game.

    To their credit, they did not play like a team whose mind might be on their summer holidays and instead pushed Palace hard for their win as Jorgen Strand Larsen's second-half header gave them something to fight for, until Eberechi Eze's introduction made the win save for the hosts.

    Six successive wins pulled Wolves well clear of danger earlier this year but this was a third consecutive loss. and they will be determined to not let the season finish with a losing run when they host Brentford at the weekend.

  12. 'A celebration of leadership'published at 12:34 20 May

    Manager of the year awards often go to coaches who lift major trophies, but Vitor Pereira's work at Wolves deserves real respect and recognition.

    When he took charge in December, Wolves were in disarray. The team had just nine points, fans were fearing the worst, and relegation looked almost certain. Now, Wolves sit on the brink of a 14th-place finish with 41 points—something no one predicted just months ago.

    Pereira made his mark almost straight away. Within days, Wolves picked up key results over the festive period. Suddenly, there was hope. The mood around the club shifted. The dread that used to hang over Molineux on matchdays has been replaced by genuine excitement and belief—fans now turn up thinking Wolves can beat anyone.

    Key to this revival has been Pereira's leadership style. He tackled dressing room problems with honesty and restored the discipline that was missing. He was firm when needed, taking tough decisions to move on players like Mario Lemina and Craig Dawson, ensuring the squad stayed focused and united. His open communication style, especially with the Portuguese-speaking core, made the group feel understood and valued.

    Pereira's tactical clarity also made a difference. He gave players clear roles and built their confidence, simplifying what had become an overcomplicated setup under his predecessor.

    Off the pitch, he embraced the club's culture, quickly building a strong bond with the Wolves community. He never underestimated the importance of the fans, crediting their support for pushing the team through difficult moments.

    Most importantly, Pereira's calm, down-to-earth approach has inspired both players and supporters. He has brought pride and unity back to a club that felt lost before his arrival.

    Avoiding relegation and finishing mid-table when so much pointed to disaster is a huge achievement. Pereira's nomination, external is not just justified—it is a celebration of leadership that rescued a season, and gave Wolves their hope and identity back.

  13. Sutton's predictions: Crystal Palace v Wolvespublished at 09:16 20 May

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    The Crystal Palace fans won't really care what the result is here, because they won the game that really mattered at Wembley at the weekend, and they have a trophy to show for it.

    So, there will definitely be a party in the stands at Selhurst Park after Palace's FA Cup success, but it is hard to know what to expect from the Eagles players after their own celebrations.

    I am not really sure what shape Wolves will be in either, though. They were on a superb run of form until the start of May, but have lost their past two games.

    It is Palace who will have all the momentum and Eberechi Eze is flying at the moment so I am going to back them here, but the outcome really depends on whether their manager Oliver Glasner makes a lot of changes.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-0

  14. Pereira on team news, Palace, and contracts of playerspublished at 14:16 19 May

    BBC Sport journalist

    Wolves boss Vitor Pereira has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Premier League game at Crystal Palace (kick-off 20:00 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • On team news: "Only issue is Tommy Doyle with a small problem, and Sam [Johnstone] to clean the injury that he had before. But they are not serious injuries, just small things that they want to clean."

    • Pereira admitted he does not have any information regarding Matheus Cunha's future but said the forward "is committed, he is my player and is working with happiness".

    • On his manager of the year nomination: "A bit surprised because I came into the league in the middle of the season, but proud of my players, my staff, the club and the supporters because this is team work. It's not just me who has achieved this,. It is something special, for sure, and I am very proud."

    • Pereira stated that their goal after he arrived was to "transform their situation" into something better, and that was their "title". Survival was the goal, but for next season, the goal is to get better, "create a strong team with a strong base".

    • On Nelson Semedo and Pablo Sarabia's future: "Nelson knows we want him in the team. Even Sarabia - I like his personality and quality. We tried to do our best, but at this moment, I don't have the answer. We must wait. Sometimes we are impatient, and we must respect the timing of the players and the club."

    • On the travelling Wolves fans: "Thanks a lot for the support, because without them we cannot transform a very difficult season into looking towards the future."

    • Pereira reiterated that he was ready for a break after a long season, starting with the work he had done in Saudi Arabia and subsequently taking over the Wolves job. However, the Portuguese manager stated that there will be important "meetings" during the summer as they have "work to do".

    • On Crystal Palace: "I believe that the motivation of the supporters and the team will be at a high level. But to prepare a game, I look at my team on what we can do, try to be consistent - and next season to be more consistent, to play better football. This is the way to improve our level."

    Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen has made more targeted off-the-ball runs into the box than any other player in the Premier League this season (109).
