Wolves suffered another defeat in the Premier League on Saturday, leading to increased pressure on manager Gary O’Neil. In a disappointing 5-3 loss to Brentford, the team’s defense was shockingly bad, leaving them with a mountain to climb.
O’Neil himself admitted it was the worst performance he had seen during his time at Molineux, causing many fans to question his leadership. Alan Shearer offered some sympathy for O’Neil on Match of the Day, pointing out that the manager hasn’t been helped by key player sales.
Despite facing a weakened Brentford side, Wolves failed to capitalize and slumped to their sixth defeat in seven games. The lack of protection for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone was evident, as Brentford scored almost at will.
With just one win in their last 17 games, Wolves are facing a tough period. O’Neil’s future at the club is uncertain, as fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the team’s recent performances. The upcoming match against Manchester City will be a significant test for O’Neil and his struggling team.
