# Wolves: Steve Madeley bemoans Jonny’s poor form

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) defender Jonny is ‘having a poor season’ according to journalist Steve Madeley, who was speaking following the 4-0 defeat at home to Leicester City.**

### The Lowdown: Wolves stunned by Leicester

The Old Gold were hoping for a positive [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) outing on Sunday afternoon but they ended up having a nightmare at Molineux. Leicester ran out 4-0 winners in the end, taking their chances in ruthless fashion, leaving many home supporters [fuming](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2022/10/23/im-so-furious-wolves-fans-angry-following-leicester-demolition---watch/) by the time the final whistle arrived.

Jonny started the match but had a torrid time of things, losing possession [seven times](https://www.sofascore.com/leicester-city-wolverhampton/dsG), being [dribbled past once](https://www.sofascore.com/leicester-city-wolverhampton/dsG) and generally looking off the pace throughout the contest.

### The Latest: Madeley critical of Jonny

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SteveMadeley78/status/1584177882816860160?s=20&t=JR7nlJPPckXxCOMT3ctc9A) in response to a Wolves supporter who was critical of the 28-year-old, Madeley admitted in six simple words that the Spaniard is having a bad campaign to date, stating:

> “Jonny is having a poor season.”

### The Verdict: Not the player he was

While Jonny is still only 28 years of age, he doesn’t look the force that he was a few years ago, with [two serious knee injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonny-otto/verletzungen/spieler/175446) seemingly taking an edge off his game and his seasonal [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115917/History/Jonny) rating of 6.59 a significant drop from his first two Premier League campaigns.

He looked miles off it against Leicester – he wasn’t alone among the home side in that respect, in fairness – and arguably looked less comfortable at right-back than he does on the left.

Jonny has [started 11](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115917/Show/Jonny) of Wolves’ 12 league games this season but now could be the time to take him out of the firing line, given his disappointing form.
