O’Neil making no excuses
Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Wolves boss Gary O’Neil revealed things need to change quickly for his side.
He told reporters: “I understand one point from seven isn’t good enough and we need to prove we are better than that. That tipping point will come soon.
“We can’t sit here forever and say we’ve had tough games and lost a couple of important players in the summer.
“Now what? Come on then, let’s go. At some point it’s going to come and we need to get it going.”
