Julen Lopetegui claimed he could write a book on refereeing howlers that have cost Wolves - but has decided to begin a fresh chapter... the Spaniard knows his players must focus on what they can control ahead of a crunch Nottingham Forest clash

Julen Lopetegui said he could write a book of the refereeing howlers his team have suffered this season but the Wolves boss has decided it is time to begin a fresh chapter.

As they prepared for a potentially season-defining match at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Lopetegui called a meeting with his players at their training ground at Compton, on the outskirts of Wolverhampton.

Wolves could not be blamed for feeling the world is against them. They were on the wrong end of game-changing VAR calls in the defeats by Newcastle and Leeds before the international break, and were already frustrated with the officials for decisions in Cup matches against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
