A fresh update regarding the future of Wolves boss Gary O’Neil has emerged ahead of his side’s clash with Crystal

Palace.

Winless Wolves face relegation rat-race

In their most recent League match, Wolves heroically rallied from a 2-0 deficit to salvage a point at the AMEX

stadium. After Brighton wasted a fantastic opportunity to make it 3-1, Matheus Cunha scored in stoppage time to

complete the comeback.

O’Neil raised his hands after the game to acknowledge that he had made a mistake in the first half.

“I started with five [in the back], and I’m a little dissatisfied with myself for that. We performed admirably against

Manchester City with a five-back, and I felt the boys merited another chance.

“At least we were able to switch it up at halftime, even if I didn’t think a five-back would work well against Brighton

today.

“At 85 minutes, when Brighton scored their second goal, I thought I was going to be stood here answering some

more tough questions.”

Beyond the momentary joy, though, Wolves’ predicament once again became apparent. They are currently one of

three teams without a victory this season and are ranked 19th in the Premier League about 25% of the way through

the season. They have five more goals than any other team in the division, although they only have two points.

 

According to a recent report, the Wolves manager is facing mounting pressure to produce outcomes at Molineux.

With games against all five of the current top five (Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Aston Villa) as

well as Newcastle United, Wolves have so far been acknowledged to have had one of the most difficult starts to any

Premier League season.

A shift in tone is now anticipated, though, as Football Insider claims that O’Neil’s future in the Wolves technical

department would be determined by the results of the next two games. Before a huge matchup with bottom-place

Southampton before the November international break, the Old Gold take on 18th-place Crystal Palace in their next

encounter.

Even though the Wolves manager “still has the backing of the changing room,” they assert that a lackluster

performance in those games will “change the mood'” in the Midlands and that the forthcoming games are “critical”

for O’Neil’s career.

However, the possibility of a drop to the Championship is likely to become a more genuine possibility if Wolves are

unable to accumulate points against their direct relegation rivals.

With the Old Gold not playing a member of the “top six” again until Boxing Day, any new manager would benefit

from a favorable run of games should Wolves cut ways with O’Neil during the international break.
