At a game where we dominated until he missed that penalty at Portman Road, I think Freddy has potentially blown his big chance for a place in the starting 11.
Back in the reserves, and we all know how much he will enjoy that!
I still think reinforcements will be needed in the striking department come January if we are to push on for promotion or at least the play-offs.
Teams around us fighting for the same positions currently have much more potent strike-forces than Wolves.
With 14 league goals between them, Watford have the brilliance of King or Henderson to call upon.
James Beattie, Kevin Phillips, Andy Gray and Ricardo Fuller, all recognised strikers doing the business for their respective clubs and scoring on a regular basis.
I think what we have at Wolves are lots of support strikers such as Keogh, Bothroyd, Elliott and Ward, but in Eastwood it was supposed to be different.
This was supposedly going to be the forward who would get us the goals to catapult the club to promotion.
At Wolves we all love a centre forward hero. Down the years we have been spoilt with the brilliance of Bully, Keano, The Doog and King John to make us all proud to be a Wanderer.
Can Freddy ever join this illustrious list?
Or will he join the much longer list of Wolves strikers who have failed to cut the mustard at Molineux; Connolly, Flo, Frankowski, Iverson, Ketsbaia, Branch, Taylor, Al Jaber and Rousell, I could go on and on……
Amazingly Freddy is still the club’s top scorer this season with 4 goals.
We would all dearly love for Freddy to come good and start banging in the goals.
But it looks like he will have to wait for his turn in the spotlight again after that diabolical penalty miss on Saturday.
Bothroyd looked a real handful against Cardiff and although slightly more subdued against Ipswich, he is looking like a better long-term bet than the misfiring Freddy.
Personally I would like to see us dip into the transfer market in January and make a big signing up front.
Billy Sharp? I know I’ve posed this question before, but no one is banging in the goals on a regular basis, and until they do, I think its time to throw some potential names in the hat.
