Manager Gary O’Neil watched as his Wolves side staged a thrilling comeback against Brighton today, salvaging a valuable point on the road in the dying minutes of the game. Despite the positive result, O’Neil couldn’t shake off his frustration with the overall proceedings.
The Molineux team is yet to secure a win this season, along with three other struggling Premier League teams, creating a sense of urgency for that elusive first victory. Wolves fans may view the draw as a step in the right direction, particularly after Mario Lemina highlighted the pressure of the winless streak on the squad.
However, O’Neil took the blame upon himself, acknowledging that his tactical decision to start with a five-man defense may have been a misstep. Despite adjusting the formation at halftime, the late concession of a goal almost left him facing tough questions post-match.
While O’Neil enjoys support from the board and fans, the need for results in the competitive football environment looms large. While the draw against Brighton provides a glimmer of hope, the pressure is on for Wolves to secure a win and start climbing up the table before the situation turns dire. The upcoming matches will be crucial for O’Neil and his team to avoid a similar fate to struggling teams from previous seasons.
