Wolves crashed to a damaging 4-2 defeat against Bournemouth on Saturday in the Premier League.
Wolves went into the game in high spirits having been four games unbeaten.
But Gary O’Neil has been brought back down to earth and is now under real pressure once again, after his side turned in an awful performance against the Cherries.
Wolves gifted Bournemouth three of their four goals, with Justin Kluivert scoring a hat-trick of penalties.
Jose Sa had a nightmare against Bournemouth, giving away two of the penalties and then failing to save them. Sa also had an altercation with a Wolves fan in the South Bank at half-time.
Sam Johnstone may now replace Jose Sa in the next game against Everton on Wednesday.
It was a very frustrating result – and Jorgen Strand Larsen has now sent a message to fans on social media following the defeat.
Jorgen Strand Larsen sends demand after Bournemouth defeat
Optimism had been growing at Wolves recently, but this result against Bournemouth has served as a real cause for concern.
Many Wolves fans want O’Neil sacked after the defeat to Bournemouth, with some just unable to see how he’s going to turn it around.
Others believe that the four-game unbeaten run actually papered over the cracks. Certainly, there was an element of fortune in the 4-1 win over Fulham.
But O’Neil will surely at least get the Everton game, and regardless of what happens there it’s a quick turnaround to the next match. So he’ll probably be in charge until after the West Ham United game on Monday.
Many are frustrated right now, but Strand Larsen – scorer of a brace at the weekend – issued an important message to fans on social media yesterday.
Sharing Wolves’ post thanking supporters, he simply said on X: “Let’s stick together.”
Strand Larsen deserves better than Wolves’ current situation
Strand Larsen must be frustrated right now.
He’s scored six Premier League goals, putting him just one behind teammate Matheus Cunha, and also laid on three assists.

No one’s scored more than Strand Larsen’s five non-penalty goals in the Premier League since the start of October, and frustratingly for him, Wolves haven’t won any games in which he’s scored this season.
He really does deserve better than the current situation.
This is a player who works his socks off every single game, is a big team player and often says the right things. It’s a shame that his contributions this season haven’t helped the team more.
