If the court of popular opinion is anything to go by, no one is safe at Wolves.

Chants of "you don't know what you're doing" were directed at manager Gary O'Neil, while the ownership also came under fire as supporters in the away end sang "we want Fosun out".

The first seemed like a response to O'Neil's substitution as midfielder Andre came off for forward Hwang Hee-Chan, in a logical change given Wolves were 4-2 down in the 57th minute, but the real reason behind the anger was simmering frustration at the general state of play.

That was being well-beaten by Brentford to lose their sixth of seven games, seeing the west Midlands club rooted to the bottom of the table, still without a win, last failing to gain a victory in seven matches during the 2003-04 season.

The attacks at the ownership during the match, which ended 5-3 after late Fabio Carvalho and Rayan Ait-Nouri goals, could be down to the constant need to balance the books with star players Pedro Neto and Max Kilman sold this summer, and the subsequent investment not matching the money received.

O'Neil was also exceptional in his first season in charge and signed a new contract in the summer but has voiced his concern about some of the transfer activity that followed.

The 41-year-old is now trying to establish a new way of playing without key players and despite Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen getting on the scoresheet, they were poor and deserved to lose.

Wolves could still get themselves going but there will be questions asked about whether the manager is the right man for the job during the international break and whether the club as a whole are in a state of managed decline, with an imbalanced squad and a lot of inexperienced players.
