Wolves fought back from a goal down against Crystal Palace but couldn’t hold on for what would have been an important three points.
The defensive frailties of O’Neil’s side proved costly once again, with errors and poor marking essentially gifting Palace both goals.
“I don’t think it’s all on him. The whole group has a lot of responsibility,” said Wolves striker Matheus Cunha when asked about the pressure on O’Neil.
“Any club can pass through this situation, it’s part of the game. We just need to keep working, the results are coming.”
Wolves have failed to win any of their opening 10 games of a league season for only the third time in their history, after 1926-27 and 1983-84.
The silver lining for Wolves is that they ended a run of four consecutive home defeats after what has, admittedly, been a cruel opening schedule.
“The fact the lads are fighting for everything is the positive, you can’t ask for more than what they give,” O’Neil told Sky Sports.
“There were some decisions we made out there that weren’t correct and we’ve got to address that.
“It’s going to be a tough season, we’re going to have to fight and scrap for a long time.”
Is it too early to call Wolves’ clash with Southampton next weekend a relegation six-pointer? The way things are going, probably not.
