Wolves handed Tottenham Hotspur their first Premier League win of 2026 earlier today.
Wanderers were officially relegated on Monday and today was the first time the players and Rob Edwards have faced the Molineux crowd since it was confirmed that Championship football will be on the agenda next term.
Thoughts on that display, Wolves fans? 🙄
Rob Edwards and the players were greeted by boos from the South Bank after the full-time whistle…
Sadly, and perhaps predictably, Wolves turned in a turgid performance – which led to boos for the players and Edwards after the full-time whistle.
Wolves owed the fans something in their first game since relegation was confirmed.
But it was just another insipid display.
After the game, Matt Doherty was actually quite upbeat about the performance, and outlined what Wolves are looking to do with their final four games.
Matt Doherty says Wolves want to avoid finishing bottom
It’s now three straight defeats for Wolves, with that three-game unbeaten feeling a very long time ago now.
Wolves have been relegated. But there is still something to play for in that, the Old Gold can actually finish above Burnley.
And this is something Matt Doherty says is the goal.
He said (via Wolves official): “We want to finish the season with a lot of momentum. We want to win games. We don’t want to finish bottom of the league, we can still finish second bottom, and although we’re still relegated, it’s just a little goal that we don’t want to finish rock bottom of the league.
“We’ve got four games to go to try and get as many points as we can. That’s the motivation. We don’t want to finish the season with seven losses in a row – that wouldn’t be good for anybody, so the motivation is to try and win.”
Wolves are notoriously poor when it comes to finishing Premier League seasons.
And with relegation now official, there won’t be much hope for many fans about this group of players bucking that trend.
Wolves players must show pride but fans won’t hold their breath
Wolves can still catch and surpass Burnley and that needs to be the aim.
To actually not finish bottom after such a terrible season would be at least something for the fans to hold onto.
That said, the levels that we’ve seen since the last international break are not cause for optimism.
