Wolves still looking up despite struggles

It never rains but it pours, certainly for those at Molineux this week.
Yerson Mosquera's serious knee injury, which has almost certainly ended his season, is crushing for the 23-year-old but adds to Gary O'Neil's concerns amid a difficult start.
You do not have to tell anyone at the club about the ramifications. They could ill afford to lose anyone at the back, not least a defender who was poised to become a key man for the campaign.
The immediate issue, though, is to earn the first win. That five other sides in the Premier League are also winless is unlikely to provide much comfort for O'Neil, but it at least means Wolves are not adrift at an early stage.
Saturday's visit of Liverpool, with O'Neil holding his news conference later on Friday, does not make things much easier. Yet there is calm at Wolves.
Chairman Jeff Shi said this week: "The nature of our jobs is to find a way to improve and do better in the next game. We are moving forward with the plan and everyone knows their roles.
"It's not a time to be over-optimistic or negative. It's a normal time, like in any season, and from our point of view this is all going to plan and we must not deviate."
