Wolves: 23/24 Season Review

-

 Let's explore how Wolves got on during their 2023/2024 campaign 

It was the 146th season in the history of the club and their sixth consecutive season in the Premier League since they were promoted in 2018. 

Wolves Season Review

Before the season, they parted company with Julen Lopetegui by mutual agreement. Only a day later, the former Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil was appointed head coach on a three-year deal.

A closer look at all their match reports from the 2023/2024 season

The campaign started with an unlucky 1-0 defeat against Manchester United. In this match, Raphael Varane secured the decisive goal with just 14 minutes remaining, propelling Manchester United to a somewhat lucky victory. 

Following the match, one Wolves fan told us: "We were brilliant throughout the match except for their finishing touches. Despite a summer filled with doubts and pessimism, We outperformed them for significant periods of the game. On another occasion, we could have secured a comfortable victory or at the very least, a draw."

MUFC 1 - 0 Wolves

Less than a week later came one of their worst performances of the campaign against Brighton. The 4-1 defeat was perhaps a sign of the overall direction of their season.  Paul, a Wolves fan, told us: "That was a shocking performance. I feared a relegation battle at that point."

Better moments were to come though. On September 30, they beat Manchester City 2-1. This resulted in City's 100% start to the season coming to an end. Hwang Hee-chan scored a second-half winner to give Wolves a shock victory against the side that would go and clinch a fourth consecutive title at the end of the season. 

One of the best matches of the entire Premier League season was the return fixture against Manchester United. It was a 4-3 defeat but Wolves looked great going forward and should have picked up a point. Kobbie Mainoo elegantly curled in his maiden Premier League goal, slipping it past Jose Sa just moments after Pedro Neto seemed to have salvaged a draw for the home side. 

Towards the end of the season, Wolves had another run of form. This included going six games without a win. This run ended with a 2-1 win over Luton Town. A victory that would prove to be their final success of the campaign and they finished the season in 14th.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
