Wolves Equal Winless-Start Record as Brentford Loss Makes It 10 in a Row

Leadership turmoil reflects a squad eroded by years of sales.

Overview

  • Saturday's defeat left Wolves on two points from 17 league games, matching Sheffield United's opening winless-run record and constituting the worst start by points in English league history.
  • Wolves are winless in 21 matches in all competitions, with their last victory a 3-0 home win over Leicester in April.
  • The league losing streak stands at ten, and the team sit 16 points from safety with survival widely described as unlikely.
  • Supporters staged protests with printed cards in the 18th and 77th minutes as chairman Jeff Shi stepped down and Nathan Shi took over on an interim basis.
  • Analysts tie the freefall to successive exits of regulars including Matheus Cunha, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Fábio Silva and Gonçalo Guedes, alongside signs of fading resolve on the pitch.
