Losing to a last minute corner making it 15 goals conceded from set pieces already this season, our players fighting the opposition players and staff and our owners sacking Gary O’Neil four days after putting a statement out saying they support him and will give him the January transfer window to turn it around.
The way this football club is being run is nothing short of disgraceful.
The incompetence being shown from the top is unfathomable from any professional football club, let alone a Premier League club.
Gary O’Neil should have been sacked after the Brentford game and how he was still in charge after the Everton defeat I will never know. We were good for a 15 minute period against Ipswich and that was after we equalised.
The first half was extremely poor and Tommy Doyle coming on at half time made a huge difference. He has to be starting games at this current moment, he obviously cares and has quality on the ball that other midfielders in our squad don’t possess or aren’t showing.
The first goal sums up our season, two unreal blocks and the ball bounces off Doherty and slowly rolls into net, you can’t write it. When we equalised it felt like we were going to get the winner with the pressure we were putting on but we panic in the last few minutes and end up conceding from another corner because for some reason we have zero organisation on set pieces every single time.
Whoever takes charge next has a serious job on their hands in getting these players to fight to stay up because everything from top to bottom just seems like a complete mess at the moment.
We all thought we turned a corner after the Fulham game but that was clearly a fluke judging by recent results, ever since Bournemouth it has gone the completely opposite direction and our players seem more interested in fighting off the pitch after the game than on it for each other.
For us to even have a chance of staying up, we are going to need something miraculous with our current situation because other teams are getting further away from us. The owners are to blame for a lot of this situation, too many mistakes have been made at the top for too long and we are now seeing the effects from all of that.

Sack the Head coach; that’s the easy part; it’s the next step taken to alleviate the current chaos that matters.
Trouble is, when your own palsied inertia has been steadily charting a course to the cliff edge, surviving the fatal fall becomes a precarious business. Hesitation, vacillation and confusion abounds at Molineux right now and has done for far too long.
Being just on the cusp of disaster deemed acceptable just as long as the ultimate drop into oblivion doesn’t submerge the club altogether. The last two games have culminated in a disintegration of control and discipline amongst some of our players indicative of the direction the club has plummeted to.
Wolves are in disarray, lacking direction and leadership both on the pitch and off it. Utterly haywire and descending rapidly; communication lacking leaving passionate, but taken for granted supporters both bewildered and resentful. If you yearn for a spot of success, Wolves might not be the club for you.
Makes you seethe doesn’t it? Lopetegui might not have been anywhere near as gifted as his ego tells him, but he saw exactly how the wind was blowing at this club and it was decidedly chilly.

O’Neil, to his eternal credit, exceeded all reasonable expectations in the initial stages. He ensured that relegation was avoided despite having little or no backing regarding team strengthening and he presided over some terrific early performances, invariably with the resources stacked against him.
He was calm, polite and dignified and it was painful to hear him speak after the defeat at West Ham saying that the one thing that disappointed him more than anything was losing the connection with the fans.
