ANGRY WOLVES FANS SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS FOLLOWING DEFEAT TO BURNLEY
GEORGE LAKIN
Burnley didn’t even have any real intention of winning that game second half, and yet.
Complete lack of spirit, courage, mettle, ideas, initiative, whatever you want to call it – we don’t have it.
Never has a team looked and felt more bound for relegation than us right now.
So depressing
JOHN TARAS
ANDREW BENNETT
The end is near and we are not even in November. Relegation inevitable, fans with no connection to the club what can happen next?
PAM WELLS
An absolutely heartbreaking reaction I didn’t want to write.
I wasn’t hopeful when I saw the team sheet. Gomes was left out, and I still don’t understand how Hoever kept his place. Still, I hoped they’d prove me wrong.
It didn’t happen. We were two goals down early after two poor defensive mistakes.
Somehow, we clawed our way back. Munetsi pulled one back. Then we won a penalty, which Larsen converted. 2-2 at halftime.
Second half, we upped the tempo, but in the 95th minute, heartbreak. Another sloppy defensive moment, and they punished us.
Absolutely crushing. Where does Vitor Pereira stand after this?

SCOTT DRAME
Absolutely a game of two halves. We are deflated again. What is happening? We were open at the back for all three goals. The defence looked frozen, and then we lost.
Match thoughts: I’m lost for words. We played so well. We deserved a third, maybe even a fourth. I just can’t believe this.
Vitor Pereira’s’s tactics aren’t working. It’s ridiculous. We can’t stop any attack, and the defence looks unsure of everything.
My Man of the Match: Larsen. He impressed me. He worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough.
Match rating: 7. We scored two and still couldn’t win. What a deflator. Let’s go beat Chelsea on Wednesday.

Today felt like a chance for our first win of the season. But the starting lineup worried me. Where was the width? Where was the spark we need to get going?
We started nervously. We let Burnley have the ball. We looked a shadow of a team that can compete. Then we went behind to a simple route-one ball. That sums up our season. It keeps happening. It’s so annoying.
Again, we were chasing the game. We weren’t taking our chances. We weren’t supplying the forwards in the right spaces.
We conceded again. Same issue. No one picked up the runner in our box. It keeps happening, and it’s so frustrating.
We finally woke up in the last 15 minutes of the half. We created chances. We won our first penalty since April 2024 and scored. Then we equalised from open play. That gave us hope we could fight back and win.
Second half started with no changes. That was a mistake from Vítor. We needed at least two subs to add width and balance. It was naïve not to act.
We did create chances after the break, but they were off target or hit the woodwork. Burnley invited us on, then pushed for more. They went two up front to cause problems, and we all knew what might come.
We didn’t react. Vítor changed it too late. The subs made us look unbalanced, with no identity or cohesion. As fans, we’re not happy.
Then, late on, we switched off and conceded. Seen it before. We were settling for a point, and got punished. Back to square one.
This was a game we should have put to bed. We can’t keep slipping like this. It’s hurting the team. A tough run is coming, and we’re in trouble if this continues.
Now we wait to see what happens next. Which direction are we going? The issues are clear inside the club, and this is testing every fan’s patience.
DAVE
Honestly, it’s getting beyond a joke now. Another late goal, another gut punch, and still no win to show for it. Lyle Foster’s 95th-minute winner for Burnley just sums up our season — no backbone, no concentration, and no luck.
We actually showed some fight for once, coming back from 2-0 down before half-time after Zian Flemming’s double had us staring at another embarrassment. Jorgen Strand Larsen’s penalty and Marshall Munetsi’s header gave us hope — but of course, we couldn’t build on it. Same old story.
Instead of pushing on, we let Burnley back into it again, and then switched off right at the end. You could see it coming a mile off. And it’s not just about one game anymore — the anger around Molineux is real. Fans have had enough of Jeff Shi, Fosun, and this mess of a season. The boos after Flemming’s opener said it all.
Even when there’s a glimpse of spirit, we find a way to throw it away. Arias smacks the bar, Dubravka pulls off a save at the death, and then we collapse at the other end. Burnley — who hadn’t won away all season — come here and take all three points.
At full-time, it was tense. Players and fans having words, chants of “sacked in the morning” ringing out for Vitor Pereira… it’s toxic now. We’re rooted to the bottom of the table and running out of excuses.
Something has to change — and fast.

I can feel the frustration of the Wolves fans…and quite rightly so..you almost knew what was going to happen come the last kick of the game because this sadly is the mentality of the dressing room.
Ok, so taking the drama out of this, who is actually at fault? Fosun,end of..you cannot continually sell off your prize assets one by one and not expect to suffer…we have a team with no coersion, we cannot string together 3 passes and have only one guy who has the ability to put the ball in the net…a poor defence and a Manager who, in my view is doing his best…but just doesnt have the tools to enable whats left of his squad to change a game let alone win one.
if you have to play Hoever and bring Hwang on the field of play there is little or no hope.
I have followed Wolves all.my life and renember how we suffered pre Steve Bull…but what is the difference between the 2 timelines? yes we were bottom of the 4th division but the guys had guts and fought for the saving of the club, this group of players have no guts, cannot pass a ball or cross one.
We were lucky not to have been 4 down before we hit back against frankly a championship team…
I really dont know where we go from here, but I do not blame the Manager, better off staying with him than bringing another one in, to effect the same outcome ..this is a poor set of players who need to man up and get some fight and guts.
Can we beat Chelsea on Wednesday, sure we can!!
