Wolves' Seasonally Challenged: Cosmic Irony and a Dreadful Run of Results
A sea of old gold and black descended upon Molineux Stadium as Wolves fans took to the concourse, protesting against their club's ownership. The Sky Sports Monday Night Football cameras captured the scene, but it was too little, too late. By the time referee Michael Salisbury blew his final whistle in the 10th minute of added time, the game had long been over, and Wolves had succumbed to another crushing defeat.
The latest loss, a 4-1 thrashing at home against Manchester United, has left fans questioning whether their team will ever register a win again. The scoreline was flatter than a pancake, with Wolves' only consolation being the first goal they'd scored in over 600 minutes of league football. Matheus Cunha, once a fan favourite, drew a blank despite peppering Sam Johnstone's goal.
Manager Rob Edwards tried to put a positive spin on the result, acknowledging that fans are angry and that his players need to show more effort and commitment. However, it's hard to see how he can escape criticism when his team's performance was reminiscent of 11 drunk people stumbling around on the pitch.
The issues run deeper than just one match, though. Wolves have taken just two points from their opening 15 matches, a historically dreadful run of results that has left fans scratching their heads. The team's squad quality has been eroded over time, with star players sold without adequate replacements, and head coaches coming and going when results inevitably don't go their way.
The Fosun ownership group, led by Jeff Shi, has come under fire from fans for their handling of the club. With powers of perception like "It's the toughest league in the world and we came into a team who hadn't won since April," Edwards' decision to abandon Boro for Wolves now looks more baffling with each passing game.
As the season limps along, one thing is clear: something needs to change at Molineux. The fans are fed up with the lack of progress, and it's time for someone to take responsibility and make some changes.
