Manager Gary O'Neil leaped to the defence of his Wolves players after last weekend's defeat by Liverpool, but he has changed his tune after a woeful loss at Brentford.
Just a week ago, after Wolves' narrow home defeat by Liverpool, manager Gary O'Neil said he was unwilling to class his team's precarious position at the foot of the Premier League table as a situation worthy of concern.
"This is the first evidence that we need a rethink," O'Neil told Sky Sports. "The early goal rocked us, but whatever it is , it's not acceptable." O’Neil has now overseen Wolves' worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign - and their joint-worst opening to a top-flight season since 1964-65. Leicester are the only club to have let in more after seven Premier League matches, conceding 22 in 2022-23.
" just far too open. No real understanding. We gave ourselves no opportunity at all, really, because of the level of defensive shape and structure."
