Wolves captain Mario Lemina defended Gary O’Neil after their winless start to the season continued at Brentford with a performance described by O’Neil as ‘shocking and disastrous’ and the worst since he became head coach in August 2023.
Sections of the travelling support voiced their fury by chanting ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ when he took off Andre for Hwang Hee-chan in the 57th minute, with his side trailing 4-2 after shipping four first-half goals.
But Lemina insisted: ‘No, Gary is not the problem. He is doing really well. If you say Gary O’Neil is the problem, then you are liars and cheaters because he has given us a lot of things we didn’t have before.
