There were some ugly scenes following the full-time whistle at Molineux involving both Vitor Pereira and Jorgen Strand Larsen and it perhaps showcases how much trouble the Old Gold are in.
Toxicity around Molineux is starting to build, and patience with the head coach is at an all-time low. Many fans would be happy to see Pereira let go.
There were quite frankly zero outstanding performances on the day, and the Wanderers were lucky to even have a chance at a win coming into the second half.
Either way, they looked the most dangerous in the second 45, but a late winner by Burnley’s Lyle Foster sent the crowd home disappointed.
The feelings among the fanbase were evident by what happened at full-time.
Vitor Pereira and Jorgen Strand Larsen confront Wolves fans in the South Bank
Wolves fans were furious following the final whistle against Burnley, and they were not shy to let their frustrations be known.
A chorus of boos rang out around the ground as their opponents were the ones left celebrating.
It is now nine games without a win for Vitor Pereira and his side, and there is no wonder that supporters are frustrated.
At the end of the match, Pereira was seen confronting the South Bank as they responded with more jeers. The head coach was visibly angry that fans seemingly were against the squad, and he had to be dragged away from the stand.
Jorgen Strand Larsen was also present, and the Norwegian, who wore the armband against Burnley, told many of the Wolves players to move away from the supporters.
The scenes were not comfortable viewing, and they highlight the situation the Old Gold are in. Everybody is angry at the results, but ultimately it is not the supporters who can get points on the board.
Vitor Pereira addresses fans’ frustrations.
After the match, and after he had calmed down, Vitor Pereira was asked by Sky Sports about the frustration from fans.
He vented about supporters turning on the team and believed they should have been behind them instead of booing.
Pereira said, “‘I understand the frustrations of the supporters. But if it’s a game where the players didn’t work hard to get the result… I understand.
“But it’s the frustration of the result. It’s in the end of the game, but the team deserved the support. At the end we needed the support of them, because alone, we cannot fight alone. We cannot fight alone, we must fight with them. Together, united, and together we can reach our targets.”
It will be an important few weeks for the head coach, as Pereira’s future at Wolves is no doubt on the line.
