Video: Wolves v Barnet - five talking points

A youthful side created umpteen chances, with Bright Enobakhare and Sheyi Ojo getting on the scoresheet.

Wolves correspondent Tim Spiers picks out five talking points.

Kenny Jackett got the response he wanted

Wolves were vibrant, energetic and spirited for the opening 70 minutes - a complete contrast to the drab surrender at Cardiff on Saturday.

Jackett called for his team to show the right attitude, and they did just that.

Yes, there were different personnel on show here, with just five players taking to the field who had done so in Wales.

But take nothing away from this youthful side, who did the club proud and put a smile on the faces of the 7,000 fans who witnessed some excellent football.

There was pace and a high tempo through Sheyi Ojo, Bright Enobakhare, Jed Wallace and the overlapping full backs, with endless chances created on a night when Wolves could easily have won by five or six goals.

The standard of opposition should of course be taken into account, but many of these League Cup fixtures (as Wolves supporters can well attest to) have a tendency to turn into lifeless and dull affairs with the lower league opponents' superior motivation often winning out.

Many of this side, which had an average age of just 21, will have some first-team regulars sweating on their places for Saturday's Championship clash against Charlton.

Perhaps the most impressive performer was Jack Price.

He was chief string-puller, dictating play and displaying a tremendous work ethic.

A gorgeous chip over the defence set up Matt Doherty for a first-half chance the right back should have buried, and Price was often the pivot in Wolves' attacking forays.

He and Doherty can count themselves very unfortunate not to have featured in the league yet (aside from an injury-time appearance for Doherty at Blackburn).

But that may change this Saturday.

Alongside Price was George Saville, playing his first Wolves game since November, and he too did his chances no harm with a solid display before he went off injured (although still jogging, suggesting it's not too serious) late on.

With Kevin McDonald and Conor Coady perhaps Wolves' most disappointing performers at Cardiff, Price's performance was perfectly-timed and gives Jackett a welcome option for the Charlton game.

Set pieces are a problem

It wasn't just for Barnet's goal, for which Bira Dembele was afforded space to scramble in a goal which made the final 15 minutes unnecessarily tense.

With a lack of leadership and experience at the back there were some nervous moments when the ball came into the box as Barnet ramped up the pressure.

Jackett was keen to praise his defence after the match, refusing to criticise them for those late errors.

But with Wolves yet to keep a clean sheet this season it must be a concern, as will be the manner in which they faded late on yet again.

However praise is certainly due to captain Ethan Ebanks-Landell and Kortney Hause, who in open play did everything that was asked of them and looked far more composed than in recent weeks.

Behind them Emiliano Martinez was blunder-free and made a decent second half save from a rare Barnet shot on goal.

The future is Bright

Aged just 17, the Nigerian made a huge impression in his 45 minutes.

He proved his pre-season Doncaster wondergoal wasn't a one-off fluke, picking up the ball and frightening the life out of the Barnet back line on several occasions, particularly just before the break when he skipped past two players like they weren't there before firing at goal.

I mean, come on, he scored three minutes into his senior debut for goodness sake.

Jackett, no doubt keen to keep a lid on expectations, was quick to point out Enobakhare's naivety in getting booked for 'overcelebrating' his goal (the most nonsensical rule in English football, but a rule to adhere to nonetheless) and nearly getting himself sent off with a foolish tackle soon after.

He took Enobakhare off at half time, meaning we may have to wait until the third round trip to Middlesbrough to see him again.

But Enobakhare did enough to suggest he is an option for the first team. As well as his potent dribbling, the 17-year-old occasionally excelled in the number 10 role by spraying around passes and linking play.

Time for Le Fondre?

Of those not already mentioned, Sylvain Deslandes is a cult hero in the making.

Full of energy and eagerness down the left, he plays football with a smile on his face, and a crunching slide tackle on the referee when he slipped over suggests Deslandes could be a terrace favourite.

His youthful exuberance leads to some madcap positioning at times though, meaning he's not ready for the first team yet. That will come.

It was pleasing to see Jed Wallace get 90 minutes under his belt, and although the 21-year-old was treading water late on, his tidy debut featured teasing crosses and some busy interplay with the central midfielders when he drifted inside to good effect. There is great potential there, and if he's fit enough he could start on Saturday.

As could Sheyi Ojo, a player who won't die wondering.

Direct, quick and powerful, Ojo is in the Bakary Sako mould in that respect. Disastrously spurned two clear first half chances but took his goal superbly, accurately picking his spot from 18 yards, and was a constant menace down the left in a performance that hinted he could be far more than just an impact substitute.

And then there was Adam le Fondre. Two assists for the on-loan Cardiff man who afterwards revealed he has been playing with a knock in recent weeks, hampering his progress.

He led the line with intelligence and good movement. The only thing missing was a goal, which should have come when he was put clean through, but instead he put it too close to the keeper.

As with all of the above, it has to be remembered that this was Barnet that Wolves were playing, not Barcelona.

But if Le Fondre can replicate this performance against Championship opposition - and add goals, as his career record suggests he will - then he will be stern competition to Nouha Dicko.
