Wolves player ratings: Forwards struggle on frustrating night

Didn’t have a serious save to make in the 90 minutes. His handling was fine. Will have much busier matches than this. No chance with the goal.

Quiet: 6

JACKSON TCHATCHOUA

The right-back kept his place with Kieran Trippier still missing through injury and submitted a decent performance. Pretty solid at the back.

Decent: 6

NASSER DJIGA

Rarely troubled on a night when Portsmouth didn’t do too much attacking. Steady on the ball. Defence wasn’t Wolves’ problem.

Unflustered: 7

LADISLAV KREJCI

Assured on his return to the team as he continued his apparent job-share with Toti Gomes. Some decent long passes.

Poise: 7

HUGO BUENO

Another player back in the team. Got up and down the wing well and delivered a couple of decent crosses.

Busy: 6

ANDRE

Had Wolves’ only effort of note in the first half when he sent a bouncing shot wide. A dogged performance in the middle.

Worker: 6

MARSHALL MUNETSI

No shortage of effort but he struggled to make much of an impact in the opening 45 minutes and was hooked at half-time.

Bustling: 5

MATHEUS MANE

Much improved in the second half. Laid on a chance which saw Chirewa hit the bar. Then sent a dangerous cross through the six-yard box.

Unlucky: 6

FER LOPEZ

Perfect weight of pass for the goal. Struggled to get involved in the first half but like Wolves was much better after the break.

Class: 7

RAFIKI SAID

Again delivered enough to suggest there is a player in there. Sent in a cross which Lopez couldn’t direct on target.

Promise: 6

SEAN NEAVE

Worked hard but didn’t really make an impact. Seemed to struggle a bit with the physicality of the Portsmouth defence and was easily marshalled.

Peripheral: 5
