Another one-sided match and another humbling defeat closed out Wolves' campaign - and possibly boss Dominic Kinnear's term with the club - on Saturday as Middlesbrough earned a 4-0 win.
Kinnear featured a side of substitutes and reserves which saw several players make their club debuts including: Andrew Gardner, Nicolas Rossini, Eugenio Berni, Danny Chadwick, Mattia Sau and Harry Severn. Center back Gary Loft drew a red card and was sent off in the second half.

Wolves opened the 17-18 season with heartbreak as they were eliminated from the Capital One Cup by a 1-0 defeat in Extra Time by Preston North End. Despite outshooting their League 1 opponents 30(10) to 12(3), Wolves were unable to finish and were shock result victims when Preston converted a penalty in the 113th minute.
After the match, Wolves announced that they have agreed on a 3-year contract with Thibaut Courtois (80 OVR) worth $80k per week. Courtois, 25, will immediately assume the first team goalkeeping position now that his $19M transfer from Chelsea is complete.
Wolves will open the Championship League season on Saturday when they visit Reading. With a more defensive approach to the new season, boss Dominic Kinnear said he has no plans to scrap the 4-4-1-1 formation that his side debuted in the loss at Preston North End. After missing the Capital One clash, defender Ezequiel Munoz is expected to be fit for the trip to Reading.

Wolves and their supporters have got to be feeling as though this team is destined to, at the very least, gain automatic promotion to the Premier League after Tuesday night's thrilling come-from-behind win at Nottingham Forest pushed their league record to 7-0-0.
Trailing 1-0 in the 90th minute, Leigh Griffiths, who came off the bench, took a pass from Fernando and struck from 14 yards to equalize. The Wanderers didn't stop there, however. Ravel Morrison had his 19-yard effort float in, after deflecting off of an opponent, in stoppage time, delivering the last-gasp winner.
Wolves, who sit atop the league table with 21 points, will host Charlton Athletic (1-0-6, 23rd) on Saturday.
