Wolves nearing tipping point, O’Neil says after start that looks ‘like a disaster’
O’Neil demands signs of ‘fight’ against Manchester CityManager wants team ready for games against lesser clubs
Gary O’Neil has said Wolves cannot afford to be scarred from their bruising start, with the manager adamant a “tipping point” is coming. O’Neil conceded their winless run looks “like a disaster” and acknowledged the visit of Manchester City will expose fragility after six defeats from their opening seven matches left them bottom of the Premier League.
O’Neil’s side have taken a solitary point – a draw at Nottingham Forest in August – from a brutal run of fixtures. Wolves have played seven of the league’s top 11 before welcoming Pep Guardiola’s champions on Sunday and face a trip to high-flying Brighton next weekend.
