Travelling Wolves fans have been badly let down as appalling stat emerges after Leeds loss

Wolves’ away form has been unacceptable, and it is the travelling supporters who continue to carry the cost.

On Saturday, Wolves lost once again on the road, falling to a 3-0 defeat to Leeds United at Elland Road.

Fans didn’t have much confidence going into the game, given the recent record against Leeds.

But some had hoped that the awful showing against West Ham United might have prompted a response.

But that was nowhere to be seen, as the Whites cruised to victory.

And after the game, broadcaster Jacqui Oatley shared the numbers of Wolves’ troubles on the road – and they certainly make for grim reading.

Wolves are one year without an away win in the Premier League

The numbers point to a sustained collapse, not a temporary dip, with the club having failed to win any of their last 19 Premier League away games (via Jacqui Oatley).

The last victory at an away ground for Wolves was against Manchester United one year ago, when Pablo Sarabia scored that sumptuous free-kick.

The run includes losing 14 of those matches, a sequence that has quietly defined their season.

The problems are clear at both ends of the pitch, with Wolves having failed to score in 12 of those fixtures, while scoring just nine and conceding 35.

This isn’t misfortune or fine margins, it’s a consistent inability to compete away from home.

And then you consider the contrast between performance and support, with the travelling fans having been incredible despite what they’ve had to watch. Week after week, supporters follow the team with energy and commitment.

Wolves fans have every reason to be angry

The latest example came in the dismal 3-0 defeat to Leeds United, where Wolves again fell short of the required level.

Supporters reacted accordingly, and made their feelings clear at full-time after another flat display. The frustration was not sudden, it has been building for several weeks.

Rob Edwards did not push back, accepting that fans are entitled to be angry and recognising that they travel everywhere and support the team.

To have gone a whole year without winning in the Premier League away from home is absolutely appalling.

And undoubtedly, the travelling fans have been badly let down given how much money they’ve paid and how immense the support has been.
