There have been green shoots of recovery for Wolves since Rob Edwards took charge.
But with the dire situation those shoots need to blossom quickly or rock-bottom Wolves will sink towards relegation even faster.
The drop seems inevitable – no team has survived with just two points from 13 games – and Edwards’ first two games have ended with defeats to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.
They have not scored since 26 October and it will be 59 days on Wednesday – when Nottingham Forest visit – since Wolves earned their last point.
The Villa defeat did breathe a little hope into Molineux though, as Wolves deserved something out of the derby – with only a linesman’s flag denying Jorgen Strand Larsen and Emi Martinez and the crossbar thwarting Yerson Mosquera.
They looked like a team ready to fight and refusing to accept their fate but lacked either the luck or the quality to walk away with at least a point.
Forest come to Molineux having lost 2-0 at home to Brighton on Sunday and it represents another chance for Wolves to finally end a barren Premier League winless run which stretches back to April.
