Despite Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O’Neil’s struggles to secure a win in the Premier League this season, it is clear that his team is not backing down from the challenge. The recent 2-2 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion, where they scored two late goals, is a testament to their fighting spirit.
It seems only a matter of time before the team clinches their first victory of the season. This win could potentially kickstart a move up the table for the Midlands side, pushing them away from the relegation zone towards a mid-table finish.
O’Neil’s summer signings have shown promise, but he is eager for them to start delivering on the pitch. While the new additions are building for the future, the manager needs them to step up sooner rather than later.
The departures of key players, including Max Kilman and Pedro Neto, due to Premier League regulations have left gaps in the squad. O’Neil had to make tough decisions for the financial stability of the club, but losing important assets like Kilman and Neto will take time to replace adequately.
This is not the first time Wolves have seen talented players leave, and it won’t be the last. The club has been losing top talents since their return to the Premier League in 2018, with Nuno Espírito Santo overseeing a wave of departures.
Players like Jesus Vallejo, who made a brief but impactful appearance at Wolves before moving on, have gone on to find success at bigger clubs. Vallejo’s time at Wolves may have been short, but his impact on the team was recognized by his teammates.
Now a part of the Real Madrid squad, Vallejo has continued to develop and succeed, winning major titles like the Champions League and La Liga. His experience at Wolves was just a stepping stone in his career, and he will be looking to make an even greater impact in the future.
