O'Neil enters last-chance saloon at Wolves
- Published
Gary O'Neil is fighting for his job as Wolves head coach.
Monday night's game at West Ham is defining and could be his last after damaging defeats by Bournemouth and Everton.
Supporters have turned. There was patience and understanding before but after shipping eight goals in their past two games there has been a definite mood change.
Performances against Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle and Aston Villa arguably deserved more and supporters and the club recognised how difficult the start was.
But that argument only works when you are able to pick up points in those games which may be deemed, at least in the eyes of fans, more winnable.
The draw at home to Crystal Palace and loss to Bournemouth at Molineux went a long way to seeing that support and belief from the terraces wane while the hammering at Everton meant it dropped off a cliff.
Wolves, who sit 19th, are four points from safety and host third-bottom Ipswich Town on Saturday - level on nine points with the Tractor Boys.
They are in the middle of a run of games which were always expected to decide O'Neil's fate.
That decision could be made with another loss at London Stadium.
