In what has been a season of transformation and disappointment so far for Wolves, Paul Lambert's side sit in 20th position, just outside of the relegation places.

After a bright start to the season which saw Wolves fans dreaming of a play-off finish and potentially a return to the Premier League, Wolves' form has dropped off drastically.

A change in ownership was followed by a change in management as Wolves' ambitious owners opted to replace Walter Zenga with vastly experienced manager Paul Lambert, to steady the ship and pull Wolves out of trouble.

However, after a slight upturn in form, it is clear that Wolves are in serious danger of being dragged into the relegation battle despite having two games in hand on the teams below them.

One of the reasons for Wolves sudden drop down the table and their relegation woes becoming more and more of a reality is that some players have fallen out of favour, and others have failed to get opportunities to make a good impression.

FLW writer Elliott Wheat-Bowen looks at TWO Wolves players who may need to leave for the sake of their career....

 

Jed Wallace

After joining Wolves from Portsmouth, it appeared that Wolves had secured a major coup for the highly rated youngster after seeing off interest from Championship rivals.

However, since making the switch, Jed Wallace's opportunities at Wolves have been severely limited as he has had failed to break through into the regular starting line-up.

Since making the move from Portsmouth, Wallace has spent two separate loan spells at Millwall as the 23-year-old winger has pursued regular first team football.

Although Jed Wallace is supremely talented, the right midfielder is low in the pecking order and once Wallace returns from the loan spell, he will face extremely tough competition for him to play on a regular basis.

Jed Wallace may feel that at this stage of his career with a distinct lack of opportunities, he may need to leave for the sake of his career.

Prince Oniangue

As part of the summer transformation, central midfielder Prince Oniangue joined Wolverhampton Wanderers from Stade Reim for a seven figure fee.

The 28-year-old Congo international was expected to be at the heart of Wolves' midfield and at the beginning of the season, it seemed that would be the case after scoring twice in ten Championship appearances.

However, Oniangue's early season form dipped and the Congo midfielder fell out of the favour under Walter Zenga and latterly Paul Lambert.

Having not played since late October and not even featured in one of Wolves matchday squads since November onwards, Oniangue was offered an escape in the January transfer window.

After being allowed to go, Prince Oniangue joined Ligue 1 side SC Bastia on loan and it seems that O'Niangue will need to leave on a permanent basis for the sake of his career.
