Wolves’ struggles in the Premier League continue to mount as they remain without a win, putting Gary O’Neil’s position as manager under serious threat. The disappointing 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace at Molineux showcased the team’s inability to secure a much-needed victory. Despite initially coming from behind to take the lead, Wolves once again faltered, ultimately settling for just a point in the match.
The lack of clean sheets in the last 22 games and a solitary win in the previous 20 encounters paint a bleak picture for Wolves. The team’s defensive vulnerabilities have been glaring, with no signs of improvement in sight. This dire situation has left O’Neil on thin ice, with fans and pundits alike questioning his ability to bring about the necessary changes to steer the team away from the relegation zone.
Amidst the growing concerns surrounding Wolves’ dismal run, Jeff Stelling remains optimistic about the team’s survival chances in the Premier League this season. Despite their struggles, the team’s attacking quality has been a bright spot, with Wolves managing to score 14 goals so far, an achievement that only eight other Premier League teams have surpassed.
However, without significant improvements in defense, relegation looms as a real possibility for Wolves. O’Neil’s future at the club hangs in the balance, with the upcoming game against Southampton being viewed as a make-or-break moment for the manager. The pressure is mounting on O’Neil to deliver results and silence his critics, as anything less than a victory in the next match could spell the end of his tenure at the club. As Wolves face an uphill battle to turn their fortunes around, the team must address their defensive frailties to stand a chance at avoiding the drop come the end of the season.
