Zyro swtich

League One Charlton Athletic have confirmed the loan signing of Wolves attacker Michal Zyro.

The Polish forward has only made ten appearances for Wolves since arriving from Legia Warsaw two years ago this month, the reason for that largely being down to his knee ligament injury suffered in the 2-1 win over MK Dons the following April.

Zyro has made two appearances this campaign under Nuno Espirito Santo, both in Carabao Cup victories over Southampton and Bristol Rovers.

Interestingly, it’s Karl Robinson, then Dons boss and now manager of the Addicks, who has secured a deal for Zyro until the end of the season.

Martin move

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly nipped ahead of Sunderland in the race to sign Derby County striker Chris Martin this month.

The Scottish international is likely to be available to leave Pride Park after the Rams brought in Cameron Jerome to rival Matej Vydra in attack.

Martin was strongly linked with a move to struggling Sunderland, and Chris Coleman has made intentions clear to strengthen his forward line.

Former Wales manager Coleman has sold James Vaughan to Wigan this month and lost top scorer Lewis Grabban, who cut short his loan spell on Wearside in order to secure a permanent move away from parent club Bournemouth.

It’s left Coleman with few options up top, and he was hoping to persuade Martin to join amid a relegation battle.

Wolves, though, could be active in the market in the remaining days too.

They were thought to be interest in burly attacker Martin in the summer.

The surprise defeat to Nottingham Forest at Molineux on Saturday marked ten games without a goal for on loan forward Leo Bonatini, while young Rafa Mir has only just himself arrived in England and will need time to find his feet.

Fan reaction

Aitor Karanka masterminded a FIFTH straight victory against Wolves as goals from Kieran Dowell and Ben Osborn rocked Molineux.

The Nottingham Forest boss got his tactics spot on - introducing Andreas Bouchalakis as a holding midfielder - and it made all the difference.

Wolves were below-par and looked void of ideas up top as Leo Bonatini’s barren spell stretched to ten games.

But credit to the visitors who inflicted only a second home defeat of the season on the table-toppers and halted their 13-game unbeaten run that stretched way back to October.

Here's what the home supporters were saying after the match.

Khalid Akhtar: Nuno had a dream To build a football team With Chinese owners and a wonderkid from Porto With 3 at the back And pace in attack We're Wolverhampton We're on our way back!

SandhurstWolf: One player i would like see getting a chance is Marshall. Excellent delivery into the box and think he would add something different.

Simply_Neves: Has anybody thought of a formation change for Wolves? Because I was just think of the impact that a CAM would have had on last 4 games. It would be difficult to fit in and change but it could work maybe?

Paul Wakelam: I wouldn’t change a thing, if it isn’t broke don’t fix it! This formula and nucleus of players has blasted us well clear at the top so why change it...?! A blip was always going to happen... We have the best manager and the best XI in the division by a country mile!

Robin Marchesi: 'If you can keep your head, while all about you are losing theirs...." Agree, all this panic over one defeat! The nucleus is there & I don't think we need Afobe at all.

Nuno transcript

Nuno Espirito Santo reflected on a disappointing defeat to Nottingham Forest by holding his hands up and admitting responsibility.

He told reporters after the game that it is his job to make sure the players don’t become complacent at the top of the table.

In his post-match press conference he reflected on the defeat, his decision to swap both full-backs at half-time, and where it went wrong.

What stands out?

The result, the performance. I think a bad performance comes a bad result.

Didn’t find the standards...

I think it was one of the games where we were not as good as we should have been.

Nothing to do with the opponent who didn’t create anything, we should have done better.

But we knew that this day could come.

My first words must be that the 13-game run we had, without losing, was good so we are doing good.

We must improve and we have to bounce back immediately.

Will you look at the game closely?

We always do, when we win and when we lose.

We always do the same analysis. The standard is high and we have to improve.

We have to be better than we were today.

What were you looking to change at the break with two substitutions?

We wanted to change the game.

We wanted more 1v1’s on the sides and get into the box more.

We couldn’t make it.

I’m responsible, maybe for not telling the boys that there’s still a long way to go and no-body can relax here.

Four games without a win...

I say we’ve gone 13 games (before this weekend) without a defeat. This is what I say.

This is my answer to that. Of course, this is the reality.

When you’ve been on a run like we have, you cannot question anything.

The boys have been working really well and they must be proud of what they have done.

Now we have to bounce back.

Always bounced back after defeats this season...

We have to do it again because there’s still a long way to go and Ipswich is our next opponent.

Are the players tired?

No, not at all.

Need to remind them long way to go – some players starting to believe already that they had won promotion...

The game was not about not knowing the task, it was about not doing the tasks well.

You need to do that first. Me first – it was my responsibility first of all, because the way the team plays is the way I want them to play.

I must find solutions for them to get better.

Opponents making it harder?

Yes of course. Teams are trying to adapt themselves.

Sometimes they see it, sometimes they don’t. But to be honest Nottingham, congratulations to them, they scored two goals when we were the better side.

This is football – sometimes that happens to you, sometimes that happens to the other teams.

In the second half, we were trying to get behind, they were deep, but there were no spaces.

All you need to know about Wolves now

The intention was there (to win), but sometimes it’s hard.

Sometimes you can play more with your heart than your head, and it’s difficult to control your emotions.

Should it have been a red card for Worrall?

I’ve seen worse tackles. I think a yellow card was fair enough.
