Image source, Getty ImagesGary O'Neil's decision to replace Mario Lemina with Nelson Semedo showed he is still ready to make the big calls under pressure.
The news was delivered in a quite understated manner during his press conference on Friday, in the middle of an answer about the fall out of Monday's 2-1 defeat at West Ham.
Semedo is well respected and is less emotional than Lemina, who clashed with West Ham's Jarrod Bowen and Wolves assistant Shaun Derry following the final whistle, and is seen as a good fit for the armband.
O'Neil said he and Lemina were in a good place after their discussions earlier this week and without the additional pressure of the captaincy the midfielder should be able focus on his own game.
That is crucial for the visit of Ipswich which could give O'Neil much-needed respite from the growing pressure.
Molineux has the capacity to turn toxic if the performance and result is not positive and being able to free Lemina from any restrictions could prove decisive in the battle to stay up.
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 16 he takes on darts star Stephen Bunting, who is a Liverpool fan.
Bunting, who is ranked eighth in the Professional Darts Championship (PDC) order of merit, takes on Alan Soutar or Kai Gotthardt in the second round of the PDC World Championship, which starts at London's Alexandra Palace on Sunday.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
Do I think Wolves will score? Yes.
Do I think Ipswich will score too? Probably, because everyone scores against Wolves.
I could come out of retirement and score against Wolves, that's how bad their backline is. In fact, I actually think I would score more than one and I am 51.
Wolves have got some talented players but, as I've said previously, you cannot concede the amount of goals they do and expect to stay in the Premier League.
As for Ipswich, I was speaking to a teacher friend of mine, Mr Fields, about them this week.
As a loyal fan of the Tractor Boys, he was thinking six points was possible from their past two games, at home to Crystal Palace and Bournemouth - and they got zero.
I had said Ipswich would get a point against Palace and lose to Bournemouth, but those results still made me think I have been a bit too generous with my predictions for them this season.
Putting my Norwich loyalties to one side, anyone seeing my scores would think I had a soft spot for Ipswich, when in fact they are showing their soft centre.
So, I am going with Wolves here. I know Ipswich's best results so far have come on the road, but I don't think that will help them here.
It won't make any difference where they play if their goalkeeper, Arijanet Muric, keeps making terrible decisions.
Bunting's prediction: 1-1
Both teams are desperate for a win but it could end up being a game where both teams are more afraid of losing.
Image source, Getty ImagesEarlier, we asked for your views on Wolves' change of captain, with Mario Lemina losing the armband and Nelson Semedo chosen to lead the side from now on.
Here are some of your comments:
Jim: Lemina is a great player but I do think making Nelson captain is the right decision. He is calm, part of a great Portugal team and highly experienced. If we had a top-performing centre-back, I'd give it to them. We need a new Conor Coady.
Geoff: I agree that Lemina had to be replaced. He is not mature enough yet for the role of captain and let's hope this allows the player more freedom on the pitch. We do need someone in control at the back and I'm not convinced we have anyone of the calibre of Coady or Kilman. Maybe something might happen in January to address this.
Chris: I like Mario as captain. But managed emotion is important in any leadership and he doesn't display that at times. That said, Semedo seems so laid back and not dissimilar to Kilman, he doesn't seem leadership material. It's a problem we could have done without but it does make Lemina 'droppable', which brings more options in midfield.
Peter: Lemina was nowhere near good enough as captain, neither was Kilman who played in all the games in the losing run last season. The whole defence needed a shake-up in the summer, as it does now. No defensive players were bought hence the problem now.
Mike: A good decision to change the captain. A leader should command respect and be able to control their emotions.
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves have a new captain - boss Gary O'Neil confirmed in his news conference on Friday that full-back Nelson Semedo will lead the side from now on, starting with Saturday's game against Ipswich.
The Portugal international has taken on the role from Mario Lemina, following conversations between O'Neil and the midfielder earlier this week.
Lemina clashed with West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen after Monday's 2-1 defeat at London Stadium, with O'Neil saying those types of scenes "can't happen".

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Ipswich (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Mario Lemina has been replaced as captain by Nelson Semedo following discussions between O'Neil, Lemina and senior players earlier this week. O'Neil said: "Sometimes these things can be tough to deal with and sometimes you can come out of them in a good spot, and I feel like we have. I have a lot of respect for Mario. When we get the best out of him on the pitch, his level is so high that he's still going to play a very big part for us, which he's still extremely keen to do."
O'Neil said of the incidents involving Lemina after full-time at West Ham on Monday: "What happened after the game can't happen. We all understand that emotions can rise, that we're in a tough moment and everyone's fighting and giving everything under big stress and pressure. But they're scenes we won't see again, definitely."
O'Neil has been publicly backed by chairman Jeff Shi following speculation over his position: "I've always been in contact with Matt [Hobbs, sporting director] and Jeff, and the situation we've been in, everyone here is aware of. If I'd been put into a situation where we were free-spending, I was cherry-picking Premier League players and we'd won three games in whatever it is, I'd have lost my job a while ago. But the situation we're in is very different to that."
He continued: "I understand the importance of results and we're working hard to improve them. Of course we need to do better - nobody wants to be on nine points after 15 games - but there have been good conversations with Matt and Jeff about what we do now, what we do with January approaching and the direction that we try to push the club in."
On whether lessons have been learned about the club's transfer strategy heading into the January window: "January will be very different. Whether that's a lesson learned or it's just an adjustment, these things always evolve. But my focus is on this group and how much we can get out of them. I'm excited to get them going again for tomorrow and I'm excited for this group to prove everybody wrong and change the situation."
Jose Sa and Pablo Sarabia remain out with injury for the visit of Ipswich, while Joao Gomes is suspended.

Image source, Getty ImagesDespite remaining in charge, it still seems like the end game for Gary O'Neil at Wolves.
Getting a victory against Ipswich on Saturday was already going to be vital but after Monday's defeat at West Ham, it has become paramount.
A win would move Wolves to within a point of 17th-placed Crystal Palace, who travel to Brighton on Sunday, and three points clear of the Tractor Boys.
Victory would put a plaster over the wound. It would not fix a problem and it feels the next damaging defeat would spell the end regardless.
An Ipswich win would see the atmosphere at Molineux become toxic and leave O'Neil - who faces the media this afternoon - in an untenable position, given he has lost the support of the majority of fans.
It feels like he is the caretaker for his own job, with Wolves unable to find a suitable successor, and has been put in an unsustainable position.
O'Neil, a decent man and a good coach, deserves better than a drawn out exit.
Image source, PA MediaExcluding penalties, Wolves have conceded a league-high 15 goals from set-piece situations this season. Only in their relegation campaigns of 2003-04 (20) and 2011-12 (18) have they conceded more such goals in a Premier League season.
At home, they have conceded 34 goals in 16 Premier League games in 2024 so far. The last time they conceded more home league goals in a year was in 2012 (47 in 23 games), which is the only other year in the club's history they have conceded at a rate of two or more goals per game at Molineux.

Image source, Getty ImagesWolves chairman Jeff Shi has backed under-fire manager Gary O'Neil but admitted it is "essential" that results improve.
The head coach has been under increasing pressure following two wins from the opening 15 games.
Three straight defeats looked to have put him on the brink but Wolves are standing by the 41-year-old ahead of Saturday's visit of fellow strugglers Ipswich.
"I remain grateful to Gary for stepping into such a demanding situation just days before the beginning of a new season [when he replaced Julen Lopetegui in August 2023], and for his commitment to the club every day since then," Shi wrote in his Wolverhampton Express & Star column, external.
"While he knows that improving our results quickly is essential for everyone associated with the football club, we are united in supporting him as all of us strive to make that progress happen."
Wolves are second bottom of the Premier League but would move three points above Ipswich with a win and would be just a point behind 17th-placed Crystal Palace, who go to Brighton on Sunday.
"Since Fosun's ownership began in 2016, Wolves have seen incredible highs and endured tough lows," continued Shi. "Throughout this time, success or failure has never been down to a single individual - it has always been about the collective. Football is, at its core, a team sport, and that principle extends beyond the pitch.
"Business sense plays a key role in all our decisions, with our strategy and operations constantly evolving to adapt to the ever-changing football industry and global landscape.
"Of course, this year, injuries to key players have also been particularly challenging, and I hope for better fortune in 2025. Yet, it is during testing times like these that the true character of a team is revealed."

Image source, Getty ImagesIt is not exactly a vote of confidence - nothing having been said on the record. Perhaps it is a vote of no confidence in the alternatives? Or, more pointedly, a vote of no confidence by any potential alternative candidates for Wolves.
Whatever you call it, the outcome of the various briefings over the past few days is that Gary O'Neil will be in charge for the home game against Ipswich on Saturday and, beyond that, into the January transfer window. Unless… unless what?
As my local-reporting colleague Liam Keen of the Express and Star wrote pithily on Tuesday, external, O'Neil "will take charge of the team at Molineux on Saturday, unless chairman Jeff Shi has a late change of heart."
You could just about argue that in a world where any manager is perceived to be under pressure after a handful of dodgy results, O'Neil's situation therefore passes for normal, or football-normal.
This might be true had those sources piped up in defence before Monday night's game at West Ham. Before that match, the narrative was that Wolves were not merely thinking about - but had gone so far as to contact a number of potential new head coaches.
In the event, 'El Sackico' turned out to be no more than a crude label for a slow-paced, nervous game in a muted atmosphere. A goalless draw, and salvation for nobody seemed likely until a depressingly familiar Wolves sequence in the second half: defensive clanger; spirited response; contentious decision goes the wrong way... defeat.
O'Neil, who remains his own most eloquent advocate, delivered what sounded like his closing speech to the jury as he listed all the senior players who have left since he took over. It is also right to say that, unlike in similar situations, his players have clearly been fighting for him. Their defeats can be attributed to many things, but not a noticeable lack of effort. Just as well, as the news of the search for a replacement would have given a less-committed squad cover to down tools.
So, to Saturday: a game Wolves would normally be expected to win, and which their league position demands they really must. It is to be played in front of an increasingly disillusioned home support. If they lose, then what?
Come to think of it, what happens if they win, and afterwards one of the many coaches Wolves have been sounding out recently changes his mind – as Julen Lopetegui did two years ago – and returns their call?

Image source, Getty ImagesBoss Gary O'Neil remains in charge of Wolves but the focus will quickly shift from him if the decision does not pay off.
By sticking with the under-pressure manager, it leaves chairman Jeff Shi, sporting director Matt Hobbs and owners Fosun open to more fierce criticism from supporters.
The pair are already under the spotlight for this season's struggles given owners Fosun's recent decision to rein in the spending.
That came after years of heavy investment and they wrote off a £126.5m loan in the 2020-21 accounts.
The club lost £46 million in the 2021-22 financial year and then £67.2m for the year ending 31 May 2023 with Wolves just coming under the maximum £105m loss over a rolling three-season period within profit and sustainability rules.
O'Neil cited the £200m of sales [Ruben Neves, Matheus Nunes, Max Kilman and Pedro Neto] after Monday's 2-1 defeat at West Ham and, earlier this season, said if clubs sell their best players and fail to replace them they will be weaker.
That has been the case with Wolves unable to bring in a much-needed defender in the summer and they will now target a centre-back during next month's transfer window.
While O'Neil will be the focal point of any fans' anger - especially if Wolves fail to beat Ipswich at Molineux on Saturday - Fosun must now expect the already mounting pressure on them to increase if Wolves' struggles continue.
Image source, Getty ImagesCaptain Mario Lemina has apologised to Wolves fans but claimed he "just reacted to a situation" in an altercation with Jarrod Bowen after the defeat at West Ham on Monday.
The away side felt aggrieved by a number of decisions in their 2-1 loss to the Hammers and Lemina visibly let his frustration boil over at full-time.
The 31-year-old midfielder was involved in a heated confrontation with Bowen, who scored the winning goal, which resulted in a booking and other players dragging Lemina away from the England forward.
In a post on his Instagram story, the Gabon international said: "I write this message with great hindsight. And I really want to apologise to all the people who love this club and who love football.
"I never wanted this to happen on the ground. I have always been a fair player, even in defeat. If something is said, make sure the truth comes out. I shook this player's hand, like I always do. And I was grabbed by the shirt and thrown to the ground. I just reacted to a situation that I didn't cause at all.
"I love my team, the staff and all the people who make up this club. We are all going to fight harder to overcome this situation."
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves head coach Gary O'Neil has reiterated his belief that he is the right man for the job, and believes he is a better coach after learning "an awful lot" in the past year.
Speaking after the club's loss to West Ham on Monday, O'Neil spoke about what he has already achieved at the club, saying: "I understand the noise and scrutiny, but when I arrived at this football club, it had just achieved 39 points in the Premier League.
"This summer we lose our captain, Max Kilman, and Pedro Neto for a combined £100m and we sign a load of young lads, who will be great for the club in the future. That is where the football club is."
Despite being in the running for the Premier League manager of the month for November, O'Neil's side have lost their past three games, conceding 10 goals in the process.
But O'Neil added: "I'm confident we can turn it around. It's not my decision but I know I'm a better coach then I was last year. I've learned an awful lot.
"All I can ask the group is to be the best version of themselves. I know I can get the best out of this group."
