If you are a fan of Wolves, it is undoubtedly not the season to enjoy.
No league victories have been recorded this season, no points have been recorded since October, and no goals have been scored in any of their previous five games.
Yerson Mosquera is the only Wolves player to score since the start of November, and that was in the 3-0 defeat at Fulham.
Wolves have lost all 14 of their first 14 games in the first season since 1983-84, which is their longest without a goal since their debut Premier League campaign in 2003.
Wolves now have just two points from 14 matches this season, the lowest total for any top-flight season, following Wednesday’s home defeat at Nottingham Forest.
If Wolves lose to Manchester United on Monday for the eighth time in a row, it would end the club’s worst-ever run and put them in the bottom place at Christmas.
It has been difficult to find goals, which is surprising given that two of Wolves’ three top scorers from last season, Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri, have left, and Jorgen Strand Larsen is struggling with form and fitness.
However, there are three Premier League teams this season with lower expected goals totals (xG) than Wolves’ 12.74.
However, those three teams have all outperformed their xG, and Wolves are finding it difficult to capitalize on the few chances they are making.
They have scored seven times in the top flight so far, which is under par with any other top-flight team (-5.74).
The end result is that no team has scored more than one league goal in December, making it the first time in Premier League history.
Although he has only managed three games since leaving Middlesbrough, Edwards already appears to be acknowledging that his players are playing for pride and that the Wolves’ campaign is a lost cause.
After Wolves lost to Forest for the 12th time in 14 league games, he said, “It looked bleak when I arrived.”
“We cannot influence what happens elsewhere,” the statement reads. We can influence what we can do, but we didn’t do it tonight. That’s not how we want to pass away.
We don’t want to leave with a whimper, according to the statement, “We don’t want to go out with a whimper.”
In order for some undesirable records to be discovered, including the lows of Derby’s infamous 2007-08 campaign, his players must take note of this.
In the worst season in the history of Europe’s top five leagues, the Rams were sent out of the Premier League with just 11 points.
Over the course of the entire 38-game campaign, Derby’s total tally was only 0.29 points per game.
Wolves are currently averaging 0.14 points per game, compared to just over a third of the season’s end.
