Toothless Wolves in need of lift after worst ever league start

WOLVERHAMPTON (Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers’ worst start to a league season in the club’s history was compounded by Saturday’s dismal 3-1 home loss to Leeds United and striker Jorgen Strand Larsen believes they are in desperate need of a change in mentality.

Wolves have lost all five league games in the Premier League this season but made a promising start against struggling Leeds when Ladislav Krejci gave them an eighth-minute lead.

But goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor before halftime sent boos ringing around Molineux Stadium at the break, and at the final whistle, as the home side were unable to find a way back into the game.

Manager Vitor Pereira signed a new three-year contract this week despite their poor form, but looked a man devoid of ideas as Wolves limped to another defeat.

"I think we are in a really tough spot right now," Strand Larsen admitted to Premier League Productions. "I am really disappointed in all of us. Nobody wants to be in this situation but nobody else can complain about it, only ourselves. We were 1-0 up and cannot give the goals away we did today.
