Wolves Manager Criticizes Team After Loss

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Gary O'Neil expressed devastation after his team's 5-3 defeat at Brentford, labeling it the worst performance of his tenure, which leaves the club at the bottom of the Premier League with just one point from seven matches. O'Neil criticized the team's lack of structure and control, pointing out their defensive frailties that allowed Brentford to dominate, particularly at set-pieces. The match featured an early goal from Wolves, but they quickly fell apart, conceding five goals in total, showcasing a worrying trend with only one win in their last 17 league games. Fans reacted with boos and chants directed at O'Neil, reflecting their dissatisfaction with the team's performance and substitutions. Following the loss, O'Neil hinted at a potential tactical shift back to a three-defender formation in hopes of regaining stability. He acknowledged the need for significant changes to improve team dynamics and performance moving forward.
