Wolves are at the bottom of the Premier League, and a relegation fight is expected this season.
The Old Gold have often been second best in games, struggling to create attacks and without the ball for large sections of matches.
Recent performances have been much improved, but Vitor Pereira and his squad are still without a win in the league.
The board are set to have a transfer meeting for the January window.
However, that might be too late for Wolves to turn things around by then, but if the displays over the last few weeks continue, they could yet be safe.
Wolves’ struggles on the ball are also highlighted by the fact they are leading the top five leagues in Europe in one key statistic.
Wolves have the most tackles per game across Europe
While Wolves are ranked last in the Premier League, they lead the way in a defensive stat so far this season.
Fans will want their team to be leading the way in points, but this piece of data does provide us with interesting details about Vitor Pereira’s squad.
Despite their early-season struggles, the Wanderers make more tackles per game than any other team across the Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, LaLiga, and Ligue 1, via WhoScored.
Wolves average 24.3 tackles per game, with the next on the list, Auxerre, coming in with 21.6 tackles per game.
The next Premier League side on the list is Crystal Palace with 21.3, and it showcases just how much defensive work Vitor Pereira’s squad is having to do.
Additionally, after six games, Wolves were leading the way in successful tackles in the Premier League too.
Stats show Wolves work hard
Winning football games is what every fan wants, but this stat does show that Wolves are working hard.
Since the Old Gold are often without the ball, they must be strong without it. The tackles per game stat shows they are consistently working hard to regain possession.
It also shows that Wolves are not willing to just sit back and hope for a loose ball or a mistimed pass from their opponent.
Instead, while they are having to defend more often than they would like, they are proactive in their approach.
Let’s hope that the hard work continues and that getting three points comes sooner rather than later. One thing is for sure: you cannot fault the player’s efforts.
