Wolves’ nightmare start to the new Premier League season shows no sign of easing, with Wanderers still without a point after five matches and now rooted to the foot of the table.

Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Leeds United was their most worrying performance yet. Despite taking the lead through Ladislav Krejci, Wolves collapsed defensively, conceding three goals to a side tipped to be a direct relegation rival. The result was met with boos at both half-time and full-time, underlining the growing frustration inside Molineux.

Head coach Bruno Pereira insists he can turn things around, but the warning signs are flashing. Wolves’ squad looks thinner than last season following questionable summer recruitment, while all three newly promoted clubs have already picked up points, adding to the pressure.

Players apologise after Leeds defeat

In the aftermath, two players issued public apologies to supporters. Midfielder Fer Lopez posted on Instagram: “Just wanted to say sorry to the fans 🙏 Better times will come 🧡🐺.”

Rodrigo Gomes echoed the sentiment, writing: “Sorry for this beginning. We’ll face this situation together and work harder to change it, always together.”

Some fans are likely to dismiss the statements, insisting performances on the pitch matter more than words, but both Lopez and Gomes have at least emerged with credit. Lopez, a £19m summer arrival from Celta Vigo, has shown flashes of promise, while Gomes has earned respect for his tireless displays despite the team’s struggles.

What comes next?

Wolves remain without a point and desperately need to spark a turnaround. Supporters are calling less for apologies and more for signs of real progress on the pitch, with upcoming fixtures already looking critical in shaping their season.
