Gary O’Neil’s side were comfortably beaten in the end and there was yet more awful defending on show from Wolves.
When a team scores three goals, that more often than not tends to mean a win.
But for Wolves, that is not enough, with the backline looking as vulnerable as ever these days.
It is now just one point taken from a possible 21. No one really expected Wolves to make a particularly good start to the new campaign, given the difficulty of the fixtures.
But to say Wolves have disappointed is an understatement, and unrest is certainly growing at the club now.
And this was very evident just after the full-time whistle on Saturday.
Rayan Ait-Nouri dismissed by Wolves fans after Brentford defeat
With Wolves near the bottom of the standings, it is difficult to predict where the points will come from at this time.
O’Neil retains the support of the board for now, and that development yesterday has concerned some.
This defeat by Brentford was hard for a lot of people to take, because it was seen as one of the ‘easier’ games for Wolves this season.
But it was a performance that fell way short of expectations, and the Wolves fans’ anger was clear at the end, with some chanting for Fosun to go.
As reported by The Athletic, Rayan Ait-Nouri – one of Wolves’ best players last season and someone who scored on Saturday – attempted to applaud the travelling fans.
But they reacted angrily to that, prompting Ait-Nouri to turn tail and head down the tunnel with a ‘dismissive gesture’.
Patience is wearing very thin right now, because the levels of performance are unacceptable.
Tommy Doyle has made a plea to the fanbase to stick with the players. Some will do that, but for others, it will be more difficult.
It’s Manchester City up next for Wolves at Molineux and it will be interesting to see if there are protests against the owners. Many feel as though Fosun have neglected Wolves in recent times and are culprits for the current mess.
Wanderers fell to their sixth defeat of the season at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, with Gary O’Neil overseeing one of the worst Wolves performances in a long time.
Wolves did not give themselves any hope of taking points down in west London because of shoddy defending.
Wolves have been shipping goals too easily all season, and that was the case once again against the Bees.
Wolves scoring three goals in a game should mean three points. But at the moment, this is not enough due to how shaky the backline is.
It is clear that O’Neil must sort this part of the team out especially, and he has already hinted at a formation change.
It’s Manchester City after the international break, and midfielder Tommy Doyle has sent a message to Wolves fans ahead of facing his old club.
