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.

Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 1 Arsenal Gabriel was Arsenal's North London derby day hero as he headed home the only goal to secure a third-straight victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Brazilian defender towered over the Spurs defence on 64 minutes to divert home a Bukayo Saka corner and settle a game of few chances. You'd have to say that Arsenal enjoyed the better of throughout the contest and ultimately deserved their hard-fought victory. The result ensured that Arsenal remains unbeaten in the Premier League this campaign, but more importantly for all Gooners, saw them claim a hat-trick of wins at the home of their neighbours for the first time since 1988 as their fantastic away record in 2024 continues. A closer look at what happened Arsenal's goalkeeper, David Raya, shone in the early moments, making crucial saves to deny Dejan Kulusevski and keeping Spurs at bay. At the other end, Guglielmo Vicario was equally impressive, pulling off a fine stop to keep out a Kai

Southampton 0 - 3 Manchester United Matthijs de Ligt netted his first goal for Manchester United, helping Erik ten Hag's team secure a crucial Premier League victory over Southampton. The Red Devils had entered the international break on a low note, following a heavy defeat to Liverpool, and were in dire need of a strong response upon their return. After a shaky start, United found their rhythm, with Andre Onana’s penalty save from Cameron Archer proving a key moment. Shortly afterwards, they seized the advantage. Summer signing De Ligt broke the deadlock , expertly heading into the bottom corner from a brilliant cross delivered by Bruno Fernandes. Just six minutes later, United doubled their advantage when Marcus Rashford scored his first goal of the season, threading a low shot through a crowded box to find the net—his first since March. The quickfire double appeared to take the wind out of Southampton's sails, allowing United to control the second half with relative eas
