""Do we want to be remembered for fighting until the end of the season or do we want to be remembered for being cowards?" Matt Doherty laid it on the line at Wolves with relegation from the Premier League inevitable. The question now is - will they become the worst team in top flight history? Derby's record low points total of 11 from 2007-08 is under serious threat after Wolves' 10th straight defeat and a 15th loss in 17 games."
"Wolves' two points are the joint-fewest a team has had at Christmas in Premier League history, with Sheffield United in 2020-21. Yet that season started later due to the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning the Blades had only played 14 games by then compared to Wolves' 17. Wolves' 14-point gap from safety is also the biggest at Christmas in the Premier League, with Sunderland having been 11 adrift in 2005-06."
Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League with two points from 17 games and a 14-point gap from safety at Christmas. That points total equals the fewest at Christmas and risks setting a new season-low below Derby's 11-point 2007–08 mark. The club has suffered 15 defeats in 17 matches, a 10th straight loss, and a 17-match winless start equalled from a previous season. Wolves have the worst record among Europe's top 14 divisions. Criticism and low morale followed key defeats, and the team requires a near-miracle to avoid relegation.
