Season ‘looks like a disaster’ says O’Neil; Hwang out injured

Season ‘looks like a disaster’ says O’Neil; Hwang out injured

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil admits the club’s start to the season ‘looks like a disaster’ from the outside as the Premier League strugglers prepare to host champions Manchester City on Sunday.

Wolves have one point from their opening seven games and have suffered heavy defeats at the hands of Chelsea and Brentford.

But O’Neil feels his side have been better than results suggest.

“Points-wise it has been very bad,” he said. “We sit here now seven games in with one point and if you don’t look into the depths of how and why, then it looks like a disaster.

“But if you look into the situation you will easily see there is enough there to have a real clear view that we can turn this around.

“I have 100 per cent belief in myself and the playing group that together we will show everyone that we are more than capable of competing at the level.

A match that had absolutely everything.

“That tipping point will come soon. We can’t sit here forever and say we’ve had tough games and lost some important players in the summer. Now what?

“At some point it’s going to come and we need to get it going.”

Hwang out

Wolves will be without forward Hwang Hee-chan for the visit of City after he suffered ankle ligament damage on international duty with South Korea.

“It’s not nothing, there is something there, he’s damaged a ligament inside his ankle,” O’Neil said.

“From now it will be a couple of weeks, nothing overly long.

“It gives him a moment, if you think where he was this time last year, and the form he was in and how sharp he was, since he went to the Asia Cup and came back and picked up a couple of injuries he has never really been able to get it back.

“It gives him a chance to try and get himself sharp and fit and gets himself in a really good spot.”
