Nobody appears to be pressing the panic button at Wolves just yet, but with Gary O’Neil’s team having claimed just one point from their first eight games of the season, the situation cannot be expected to go on indefinitely and it might get worse at Brighton on Saturday.
They were unfortunate not to earn a draw against champions Manchester City last week when John Stones scored a controversial late winner, but they face a team who have yet to lose at home this season and will have been boosted by last week’s 1-0 win at Newcastle.
Brighton hold a bit of a sign over Wolves in recent years and there has been no shortage of entertainment at the Amex Stadium since Fabian Hurzeler took the helm, not least in their last home game against Tottenham when they recovered from a two-goal deficit to claim a 3-2 success.
Wolves should gain hope from the fact that the Seagulls have kept one clean sheet in their five home games this season and that their 2-0 defeat to Arsenal on the opening weekend has been the only occasion on which they have failed to score despite their dismal start.
The Seagulls could go third in the table with a win and while Wolves could score, it is impossible to be confident about a team who have conceded 23 goals in eight games.
