Wolves lost 4-0 to Everton last night in the Premier League to leave Gary O’Neil on the brink.
It was another defensive horror show from Wolves at Goodison Park, with the team conceding several times from set-pieces.
Wolves had Santiago Bueno and Craig Dawson starting in the backline again, with Mario Lemina also in there.
But that counted for nothing, as Everton – the Premier League’s lowest scorers going into the game – found the net at will.
It ended four, but realistically it could have been six or seven.
It was another shambolic display, and one that could now cost Gary O’Neil his job – and most Wolves fans now want that to happen.

After the game, fans on social media made it clear after the defeat to Everton that O’Neil should be sacked by Wolves.
Many have held that position for weeks, even during the club’s recent four-game unbeaten run.

But for many his position is now untenable, and we will see if Fosun choose to act.
Last night, the travelling Wolves fans certainly made their feelings known as the game unfolded.
Liam Keen reported that fans chanted ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’, and there were also then chants of ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’, which is genuinely something that could come to pass.
Some fans also noted that the ‘Nuno had a dream’ chant also did the rounds last night at Goodison Park.
Gary O’Neil should now be sacked by Wolves
There’s every chance that O’Neil could be sacked today and it would be the right decision by the Wolves board. And it’d be no surprise if the decision came as early as this morning, as predicted by those fans at Goodison last night.
To lose in the way they did last night was just shocking, and things do not seem to be improving under him. Especially at the back.
The recent four-game unbeaten run appeared to simply paper over the cracks. The reality is, Wolves just look so frail under this manager, and the time is now right for a change.
David Moyes could be a great choice to replace O’Neil, given the work he did to keep West Ham United up initially. He then got them to kick on and even won the Europa League.
Sergio Conceicao may all be a good O’Neil replacement.
But West Ham United are thought to like Conceicao too and could replace Julen Lopetegui with him.
But Wolves have got to make the decision before it’s too late – some may feel it already is.
