The crisis at Molineux reached a historic low on Saturday as Wolverhampton Wanderers slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Brentford, extending their winless start to the Premier League season to 17 matches.

​The result leaves Wolves rooted to the bottom of the table with just two points, equalling the record for the worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign—a mark previously held solely by Sheffield United in 2020-21.

​Keane Lewis-Potter Double Silences Molineux

​In a match defined by nerves and frustration, Brentford secured only their second away win of the season thanks to a second-half brace from Keane Lewis-Potter.

​63rd Minute:
Lewis-Potter opened the scoring, capitalising on a sluggish Wolves defense to steer home a lofted ball from Vitaly Janelt. ​

83rd Minute:
He doubled the lead with a header from a Mikkel Damsgaard cross.

Late Drama:
Jorgen Strand Larsen had a chance to pull one back from the penalty spot in the 88th minute, but his tame effort was easily saved by Brentford’s Caoimhín Kelleher. ​A Season of Infamy

​Wolves are now staring down the barrel of several unwanted records as the threat of relegation becomes a near certainty:

​10 Consecutive Losses:
Wolves have now lost 10 Premier League matches in a row, making them only the fourth team in history to reach this double-digit losing streak in a single season (joining Sunderland, Aston Villa, and Norwich City).

Two Points from 17 Games:
They are currently 14 points adrift of safety (based on 17th-placed Leeds United), a gap that has historically never been overcome at this stage.

​Chasing Derby’s Record:
With their current trajectory, the club is in serious danger of finishing with fewer than Derby County’s 11 points (2007-08), the lowest total in the era of the 20-team Premier League.

​Rob Edwards’ “Improvement” Questioned

​Despite the grim statistics, manager Rob Edwards—who took over in November—has insisted that the team’s performances are improving. While Wolves showed flashes of resilience in a narrow 2-1 loss to league-leaders Arsenal last week, Saturday’s performance was devoid of spark, leading to loud boos from the home faithful.

​Supporters also directed their anger toward the club’s ownership, with protests against Fosun International and chairman Jeff Shi intensifying throughout the afternoon.

​”We are competing and staying in games, but we must find the goals that have eluded us. We need to get that belief into the players quickly,” Edwards remarked recently.

​With no league victory since April 26, the “Old Gold” face a mountain to climb as they head into the grueling festive period.
