Is pressure building on O’Neil?
Wolves have only won one of their past 13 league games, so Gary O’Neil will be putting pressure on himself because he knows that he can do better.
As a relatively young manager, he is invested in proving that he can do it at the top level. It is also only his second job in the Premier League and there is never a guarantee of getting another shot.
I am sure he is not reading comment sections online; however if he is, then he can see the discontent from fans. But he does not even need to read that because he knows himself that the results have been disappointing.
Their performance this season against Arsenal was perhaps unlucky. O’Neil said he was trying something out that day and it did not work and that is not the end of the world. On another day, Chelsea would not have scored six goals at Molineux either. And yet having that number attached to the club and manager means people will always remember it. It is hard to move on from.
For the fans, though, they have not seen their team win enough games and they will be expecting more. Football is about winning and when you are not, it is harder to maintain a belief in what you are doing.
That goes for players, the manager or fans.
