Gary O'Neil aiming to repay Wolves fans

Wolves fell to their fifth defeat in the last seven games after being beaten by the Cherries 1-0 on Wednesday evening at Molineux.

It was yet another controversial clash as Wolves scored an equaliser through Hwang Hee-chan, only for it to be ruled out by VAR for a foul by Matheus Cunha in the build-up.

Either way, it was a disappointing display from O’Neil’s side, who were deservedly beaten – but he highlighted the home fans for their support, despite admitting it was a tough watch even for him.

“The fan’s response after the game was incredible,” he said. “For them to have to sit through the first 45 minutes.

“I found it difficult to be involved in such a poor performance first half so I am sure they did not enjoy it.

“So to stay at the end and clap us off and still sing at the players and myself is an incredible response to the work that has been done here so far this year.

“But it is a definite low point for us because we could have done a lot better. We were hard on ourselves at half-time we needed a response. I can accept not winning football matches as I have said over the last six games. I can accept where have been over the last six because the performance level I think has been one that is credible for the group available – but Wednesday’s 45 minutes was far below that.”
