Wolves Score Nightmare: Historic Crisis Threatens Premier League Survival

Introduction: A Season of Unprecedented Struggle

Wolverhampton Wanderers find themselves in the midst of a historic crisis during the 2025-26 Premier League season, with their score record representing one of the worst starts in top-flight history. With zero wins, 2 draws, and 11 losses from 13 games, Wolves sit rock-bottom of the Premier League table at 20th place, raising serious questions about their survival prospects.

Recent Match Results Paint Grim Picture

Wolves’ previous match ended with a 0-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, extending their miserable run. The club has now lost their last eight games in the Premier League, making it their worst run of defeats in top-flight history. Most alarmingly, Wolves score an average of just 0.54 goals per game, highlighting severe attacking problems that have plagued the team throughout the campaign.

The team has registered just two points from 12 league games, leaving them nine points adrift of safety at the foot of the table. With upcoming fixtures including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Brentford, the challenge appears increasingly daunting for manager Rob Edwards.

Historical Context and Record-Breaking Woes

The statistics make for sobering reading. Wolves share the record for fewest points at this stage of a season with Sheffield United’s 2020-21 team, who also collected just two after 14 games, though Wolves’ -22 goal difference is worse than Sheffield United’s -17, making this the worst ever team after 14 games.

Former manager Vítor Pereira was sacked after less than a year in charge with a 36.84% win ratio and a winless start to the Premier League season, where he lost 8 out of 10 Premier League games. Rob Edwards was subsequently appointed as head coach from Middlesbrough, but has been unable to halt the slide.

Significance for Supporters and Future Outlook

The implications extend beyond mere scores and statistics. Derby County’s Premier League record of just 11 points in 2007-08 appears under genuine threat, with Southampton having narrowly avoided breaking this record last season with just five points after 14 games compared to Wolves’ two.

For Wolves supporters, the situation represents an existential threat to their club’s eight-year Premier League tenure. The team faces a catastrophic start with a points tally that makes relegation look almost inevitable. However, football has witnessed remarkable escapes before, and Wolves will look to their next match against Manchester United on December 8, 2025 as an opportunity to finally register their first victory and ignite an unlikely survival bid.

The coming weeks will prove decisive in determining whether Wolves can engineer one of the Premier League’s greatest escapes or whether their score record will cement their place in history for all the wrong reasons.
