Wolves' dismal defeat against Manchester United has sparked a familiar theme of frustration among the club's fans - feeling powerless in the face of ownership that seems determined to sabotage their team's chances of success.
As they watched from home, Wolves supporters were treated to a stark reminder of just how far their beloved team is adrift. The final whistle blew with 10 minutes of added time remaining, leaving no doubt that the outcome was never going to be in doubt. The scoreline of 4-1 only serves as a poignant indictment of the team's abject failure to compete against a United side that has been struggling of late.
On the pitch, Wolves' players seemed listless and disorganised, with their usual cohesion and flair noticeably absent. Even when they did manage to create scoring opportunities, it was clear that something was amiss - in this case, Matheus Cunha's efforts were unable to find a way past Sam Johnstone's goal.
It's hard not to feel a sense of desperation among the fans who are left to pick up the pieces after another crushing defeat. For those who stayed home and watched on TV, it was a bleak reminder that Wolves' recent form has been nothing short of catastrophic - 15 games without a win, and counting.
So where is all this going wrong? For manager Rob Edwards, the answer lies in the team's inability to put in effort and commitment. "I understand the frustration," he acknowledged in a rare moment of candour. "I won't tell fans what to do... but they have to see effort and commitment from their players."
The question on everyone's lips is: will Wolves ever break this cycle of misery? The signs are not encouraging, with ownership group Fosun seemingly more interested in reaping the financial rewards than investing in a team that desperately needs to be revived.
As we enter what promises to be another long and difficult stretch for Wolves, one thing is certain - their fans deserve better.
