Wolves manager Gary O’Neil admitted he is getting closer to the sack as his side conceded in injury-time at a toxic Molineux. Jack Taylor’s 94th-minute winner for Ipswich sparked a scuffle between opposition players at the final whistle – not the first time O’Neil’s players have lost discipline - whilst supporters noisily made their anger clear towards chairman Jeff Shi and the Fosun owners.

Uncharacteristically, O’Neil laid into his side after they allowed their relegation rivals to snatch the points and even though he was given a vote of confidence a few days ago, he knows the consequences of another loss at Leicester next weekend. ‘Every result that comes, the chance of me losing my job will heighten,’ he admitted.

‘I am sure when I speak to Jeff and Matt (Hobbs, sporting director), the message will be “you have to be better or you will get replaced.”. ‘I am comfortable with my standards as a coach. This group need me this week. I will keep fighting for them and with them until I am told not to.

‘You can get replaced. That goes for me. It goes for players. Change will come if you constantly fall below the level.’. O’Neil was particularly fuming that Nelson Semedo, appointed captain last week, was outmuscled by Liam Delap in the build-up to Ipswich’s opener after 15 minutes, though the final touch was from Wolves defender Matt Doherty.
