O’Neil struggling as Wolves supervisor
Wanderers went into Saturday’s journey to Brentford searching for their first Premier League win of the season, however but once more, the travelling supporters did not get what they hoped for.
A vastly entertaining sport noticed the Bees run out 5-3 winners in west London, with Wolves twice coming from behind within the first half, however ultimately succumbing to yet one more defeat within the high flight.
It signifies that Wanderers stay rooted to the underside of the Premier League desk, having solely acquired one level from their opening seven matches, so there’s comprehensible strain on the shoulders of O’Neil presently.
The 41-year-old made a powerful begin to life at Molineux, standing out as arguably some of the thrilling younger British managers within the sport, however issues have turned this season, and he desperately wants to show his crew’s fortunes round.

Replace on Gary O’Neil’s Wolves future
Writing on X on Sunday morning, Percy claimed that O’Neil nonetheless has the backing of these excessive up at Wolves, regardless of such a poor starting to the season:
Whereas many supporters may understandably be pissed off with Wolves’ struggles underneath O’Neil, it’s refreshing to see the membership’s board standing by him and nonetheless taking a look at him as the fitting man for the job.
There’s a degree of impatience that exists within the trendy sport which means managers get sacked far faster than they used to, but when Wanderers imagine their present boss is the proper particular person to take them into the long run, there should not be too large an overreaction to their begin to the marketing campaign.
In fact, this does not imply that Wolves can follow O’Neil perpetually, and in some unspecified time in the future, a change could also be wanted if defeats proceed to reach after the worldwide break, so the run of fixtures after the worldwide break feels essential as Percy alludes to.
A house conflict with champions Manchester Metropolis is a horrible solution to return to motion later within the month, and it will be unfair to react after that sport, whatever the consequence.
A visit to Brighton can be tough, however the back-to-back residence clashes with Crystal Palace and Southampton at first of November really feel huge. If Wolves are nonetheless with out a victory within the league after these 4 video games, you need to wonder if the managerial scenario could have modified, with the membership presumably feeling they’ve given O’Neil lengthy sufficient by that time.
