"Wolverhampton Wanderers are staring their very last chance at Premier League survival in the face. Wednesday's game against Nottingham Forest is all they have left. Wolves have eight points this season. Forest have 26. If Forest win at the City Ground, the Black Country side will be 21 points from safety with 26 matches played. To cut a long story short, Wolves are done. Lose on Wednesday and they're even more done. The Championship awaits and it's been checking its watch every week."
"It's obvious that Wolves are dealing with a multitude of problems, some on the pitch and others behind the scenes, and their second-tier destiny can't be explained away with one simple statistic. At least, it can't be fully explained away. The thing about goals, the thing some people in positions of influence in the game would do well to remember, is that they're the whole point. Without them, you're not just in trouble your fans are going to feel their absence."
Wolves have eight Premier League points and face a decisive match against Nottingham Forest that could leave them 21 points adrift of safety with 26 matches played. The club is on course to score only 24 or 25 goals this season, having netted 16 in 25 matches under Vitor Pereira and Rob Edwards combined. Jorgen Strand Larsen left the club last month with one goal. Conceding 48 goals further undermines survival hopes. Historical relegation data shows many teams go down after scoring under a goal per game, and Wolves’ goal shortage makes demotion highly likely.
