'My worst game as a coach' - O'Neil laments Wolves' defensive horror show

Just a week ago, after Wolves' narrow home defeat by Liverpool, manager Gary O'Neil said he was unwilling to class his team's precarious position at the foot of the Premier League table as a situation worthy of concern.

After watching his side's desperate display at Brentford on Saturday, O'Neil may be tempted to review the matter.

"It's the worst game I've been involved in as a coach," O'Neil told BBC Match of the Day.

Wolves scored two first-half goals at the Gtech Community Stadium, but their attacking endeavours were undermined by some truly woeful defending as Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard and Ethan Pinnock added to Nathan Collins' second-minute header to give the hosts a 4-2 half-time lead.
