Vitor Pereira told that Wolves can still ‘perfectly’ survive relegation this season

Vitor Pereira has been told by a football journalist and radio presenter that Wolves’ situation can still be saved.

The Old Gold are one of the favourites for relegation after an eight-game winless run that sees them on just two points.

Pereira is under massive pressure from fans, and at the current rate Wolves are playing, he will not be head coach for long.

However, Vitor Pereira does still have supporters such as Simon Jordan. Additionally, former Premier League manager Martin O’Neill believes Wolves can survive.

Now, another voice has come out in support and insisted it is not as disastrous as it looks.

TalkSPORT presenter Danny Kelly says it’s too early for Wolves to panic

Wolves fans are already starting to accept that they are heading towards relegation and the prospect of playing Championship football next season.

However, a couple of people on the outside appear to still have faith in the Old Gold.

Journalist and presenter Danny Kelly believes that the position Wolves are in is not as much of a disaster as it’s being made out to be and that they can still claw their way back.

Kelly said, “Wolves played really well here [against Sunderland]; you can argue they dominated stretches of the second half, and they need Jorgen Strand Larsen to start scoring. But it is no good playing well and getting beat.

“The position they are in with two points after eight games is perfectly survivable; it is far too early in the season for them to be panicking, but lots of teams haven’t survived from that position.”

Easy for outside voices to say

Truthfully, it is easy for outside voices to believe Wolves can turn things around, but for those who watch them each and every week, there have been few signs that it can be done.

Draws against Tottenham and Brighton provided some hope, but that was all thrown away by losing to Sunderland.

History does show Kelly is right. Five teams out of 20 have survived after going winless in their opening ten matches, including Wolves last season, and this campaign they still have two games left to get a win before being considered on that list.

However, this season feels different from the previous one, and there is nobody such as a Matheus Cunha who can drag them out of this position.

Right now, from a Wolves perspective, they will not be the sixth side to enter that list.
