Gary O’Neil reveals concerning thing that is approaching Wolves

Wolves’ difficult start to the season continued with a heartbreaking late draw against Tottenham Hotspur, and while the point finally got them on the board, the bigger picture remains troubling.

Speaking on Sky Sports after the match, former Wolves boss Gary O’Neil issued a warning not just to his old club, but also to West Ham United, the performances of the newly promoted teams could make survival much harder this season.

Wolves thought they had secured their first win when Santiago Bueno’s goal put them 1-0 up against Spurs.

Yet, in stoppage time, Joao Palhinha struck to deny them victory, leaving Vítor Pereira’s side bottom of the table with just one point from six games.

West Ham, meanwhile, sit only marginally better off, with three points and four defeats in their opening five matches.

O’Neil pointed to the strong starts made by Sunderland, Leeds, and even Burnley, who many predicted would be relegation contenders.

“The concerning thing at the moment for teams like Wolves and West Ham is how well some of the newly promoted teams have done,” O’Neil explained on Sky Sports, as reported by Molineau.News.

He believes that the survival line will be higher this season than in previous campaigns, warning clubs that the points tally required to avoid the drop is unlikely to be as low as last year.
