Wolves face a critical test on Saturday as they host Southampton at Molineux in what could be a season-defining match.
The pressure is mounting on Wolves as they are yet to secure a league victory this season, leaving fans anxious about the team’s performance. The upcoming clash against Southampton holds significant implications for both managers, Gary O’Neil and Russell Martin, who are both on thin ice. Speculations suggest that a draw could lead to the dismissal of both managers, with fans expressing frustration over the reluctance of Fosun to sack O’Neil amidst growing concerns about his leadership.
Pundit Paul Merson offers his insights, favoring Wolves to clinch a comfortable victory against Southampton despite the team’s recent struggles. While many fans fear a disappointing outcome, Merson believes that Wolves have the potential to turn things around and secure their first win of the season.
This match against Southampton is a pivotal moment for O’Neil, marking a last-chance effort to salvage Wolves’ season and potentially save his job. Anything less than a win is deemed unacceptable, considering Southampton’s own struggles this season, presenting an opportunity for Wolves to claim vital points before the international break. The stakes are high, and failure to secure a victory could prompt the Wolves hierarchy to consider a managerial change.
