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.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

PL News: Ten Hag sacked by Man United

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)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
