Wolverhampton Wanderers began the season disastrously: they sit bottom of the Premier League, having not won a single game all season, and crucially they only have two points after 14 games played after the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, a run that has left them level with the worst start to a Premier League season ever (and a worse goal difference). With the fixture list getting no kinder over the Christmas period and confidence dangerously low, the spectre of Derby County\u2019s infamous 11-point season, and relegation now hangs over Molineux.<\/p>\n
Derby County’s 2007\/08<\/a> season remains the benchmark for Premier League failure. Their total of 11 points – one win, eight draws and 29 defeats has stood untouched for almost 20 years (although Southampton came close in the 2024\/25 season). Wolves’ current numbers put them dangerously close to the same path, and with the halfway point of the season fast approaching, it isn’t easy to see where the points are going to come from.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong> Opinion: Rob Edwards Must Rebuild Wolves to Survive<\/a><\/p>\n As it stands, Wolves have a worse start than Derby did after 14 games in 2007. Derby had six points after 14 games, winning one game and drawing three. Wolves have drawn just two and lost 12.<\/p>\n The Premier League season spans 38 games. Wolves, with just two points from 14 games, have 24 matches remaining to avoid falling below Derby’s points total. The maths is brutal but simple.<\/p>\n The fear among supporters is not irrational. Wolves’ performances have shown a lack of cohesion, belief, and attacking threat. It’s not just simply the results; it’s how little control they have managed to exert in matches, often conceding early or losing structure under very little pressure. They have also not managed to keep a single clean sheet all season.<\/p>\nWolverhampton Wanderers: How The Numbers Stack Up<\/h3>\n
