Wolves are in a very concerning predicament right now just a couple of months into the 2024/25 season.
Fans knew it would be a tough start given the fixtures.
But Wolves have taken just one point from their seven Premier League games so far, and some have been alarmed with the way the team haven’t capitalised in games.
Wolves took the lead against Aston Villa and Newcastle United but went on to lose both games.
Wolves also got back on level terms with Liverpool recently and went in 2-2 at half-time with Chelsea before losing 6-2.
The latest 5-3 defeat to Brentford was hugely concerning, and some Wolves fans expressed their anger towards Fosun at full-time.
The mood isn’t good right now at Molineux, and striker Jorgen Strand Larsen took to social media last night to check in with supporters.
Strand Larsen says he believes ‘so much’ in Wolves despite awful start
Midfielder Tommy Doyle called for fans to stick with the Wolves players amid this really tough period.
Some will struggle to do that given what they have seen so far. Defensively, Wolves really have been shocking.
Now, summer signing Strand Larsen has also taken to social media asking for everyone to stick together. He also expressed his firm belief in the team despite the struggles.
He said: “We are not where we want to be right now obviously.
“Let’s stay together in this moment, work harder and get back on track.
“I believe so much in this team and our fans are amazing. Let’s turn it around!”
Wolves need to use Strand Larsen more
Strand Larsen is probably one of the few Wolves players who can actually hold his head high this season.
It has been an awful start for the team. But Wolves’ Norwegian number nine has looked like a good addition up to now, after signing on an initial loan from Celta Vigo.
Arguably though, Wolves need to look for him more.

Andy Thompson suggested for Wolves to become more direct, and more ‘horrible’ in games.
After the Liverpool game, Lee Naylor questioned why Strand Larsen was taken off for Hwang Hee-chan, with Wolves seemingly needing a focal point for the closing stages.
Despite lacking service at times, Strand Larsen has still caught the eye by scoring a couple of goals, and his work-rate has definitely been there too.
He and Matheus Cunha would be forgiven for being very frustrated at the moment. Both have been in the goals, but the defence’s struggles have meant their efforts have counted for very little.
