Gary O'Neil, manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers, is facing intense pressure after a rough start to the season. His team suffered a 2-1 defeat against West Ham United, nicknamed 'El Sackico, ' leaving them second from the bottom in the Premier League. Despite the loss, there’s still a glimmer of hope for O'Neil. Sky Sports reporter Danyal Khan suggested that O'Neil might lead the team against Ipswich Town this weekend. This is a critical game, labeled a 'six-pointer, ' where a win could change Wolves' fortune.

O'Neil's team has been struggling, earning just nine points from 14 games. They've conceded a whopping 38 goals in 15 matches, averaging over 2. 5 goals against per game. The fixture list doesn’t ease up; after Ipswich, they face Leicester City before encountering teams vying for European spots.

If O'Neil can't secure points from these crucial matches, Wolves' seven-year stay in the Premier League could be in jeopardy. The board has shown patience, even giving O'Neil a new four-year contract in the summer. But with the team still in the relegation zone, this weekend's game is make-or-break for O'Neil.
