Gary O'Neil is still looking for Wolves' first win of the Premier League season

  • Published

There is no appetite for change at Wolves but their situation does not get any easier with Sunday's visit of Manchester City.

Just a point from their opening seven games has left Gary O'Neil's side bottom of the Premier League, having also conceded a league high of 21 goals.

Set-piece coach Jack Wilson was sacked during the international break with the side having shipped six from set-plays already this term. They conceded just 10 during the whole of last season.

That itself was a show of support for O'Neil, who drove the decision, and the Wolves boss - who is due to speak to the media at 13:00 BST - is still likely to be given time to turn the season around.

Wolves have already played five of the current top seven and will have faced all of them by the time they play City and travel to Brighton next week.

That has been taken into consideration but, with the visits of Crystal Palace, Southampton and Bournemouth next month, they must start winning.

Minds will understandably cast back to last season's 2-1 win over City at Molineux which gave the O'Neil era lift-off but, with the struggles this season, a point will certainly be seen as a success this time.
