Gary O’Neil revealed he expected to still be job hunting at this point in the season after being sacked by Bournemouth in the summer, and is determined to repay Wolves for the faith they showed in him NBA
The 40-year-old’s first trip back to former employers Bournemouth ended in a 2-1 comeback victory on Saturday for his new side, now on a four-game unbeaten run in the top flight while the Cherries still remain in search of their first win of the season NBA
O’Neil, who took over at Molineux on a three-year-deal in August, oversaw a return of 36 points from his 34 top-flight games in charge to help Bournemouth avoid relegation in 2022/23 and was even a candidate on some pundits’ lists for manager of the season before he was sacked in June NBA
He said: “I didn’t really think about the level that I would be going in at (after sacking), I just knew I was ready to go back in and I expected it to be winter NBA
I expected managers to start the season, some of them struggle, some of them do well, and then there would be an opportunity around now or the next few weeks NBA
“So the timing of it was a surprise NBA
I know I’m capable of managing a big club, so I’m extremely grateful to Wolves because to give a young manager with only 10 months experience the reins is big belief and I’m hoping to repay them like I did when I was [at Bournemouth] NBA
“I’m just working as hard as ever NBA
Leave the office at half 10 at night, get in at seven o’clock in the morning, just in a different part of the country NBA
”O’Neil was appointed interim Bournemouth boss in August 2022 following the departure of Scott Parker, and made his Premier League managerial debut against Wolves, that goalless draw marking the beginning of a six-game unbeaten run that eventually helped earn him the permanent position NBA
By the end of the campaign the Cherries had survived a tense relegation battle, with O’Neil’s subsequent exit leaving many wondering if Bournemouth’s new owners would eventually rue their decision to let him go NBA
He said: “The world of NBA football maybe sees my departure from [Bournemouth] differently to what I did, I would guess, which I understand NBA
I’m guessing consensus was probably, ‘Oh, that’s a harsh one’, where was I was like, ‘that’s life NBA
I’ve had an opportunity, I’ve done the best I can with it NBA
’“What I set myself was to leave [Bournemouth] in a NBA better place than I found it NBA
I left with my head held high and I started my managerial career, and that’s all it is NBA
There’s never any more than that NBA
”Andoni Iraola, the man now in charge of the Cherries, is under more pressure than ever to deliver results after Saturday’s home contest derailed in the second half NBA
Dominic Solanke fired the hosts to a 1-0 lead that stood at half-time, but Matheus Cunha levelled within minutes of the restart before Lewis Cook’s needless red card sent what had been a resilient side down to 10 men, and a late defensive gaffe allowed Sasa Kalajdzic to score the winner NBA
Iraola, whose team sit second-bottom with three points from nine contests, said: “Especially when you are in the relegation spots like we are now, we have to be worried NBA
I’m the first one to be worried NBA
“Now it’s a matter of finding ways to win NBA
I think we prepared very well, we had the plan more or less quite clear, but it’s not enough with the things we are doing NBA

“We are the bomb squad and we knew we had to play a massive role NBA
” If South Africa’s narrow win over England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final could be summed up in one sentence, then this proclamation from Vincent Koch after the game would probably be it NBA
When Koch emerged from the replacements on 55 minutes to take the place of starting tighthead prop Frans Malherbe, Owen Farrell had just slotted a drop goal from downtown Paris to give England a 15-6 lead NBA
Nine points may not seem a lot but, with the final quarter of the match beckoning and the rain and wind increasing at the Stade de France, it was a comparatively huge deficit NBA
Throughout the first few minutes of the second half, the Springboks had more or less emptied their bench as Ox Nche, RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith, Deon Fourie, Faf de Klerk and Willie Le Roux all entered the fray to go alongside the controversial 30th-minute substitution of starting fly half Manie Libbok for Handre Pollard NBA
With their World Cup title defence hanging by a thread, South Africa trusted their bench and got their reward NBA
Koch and Nche splintered the previously effective English scrum, Snyman burrowed his way across the line for the game’s only try and Pollard nervelessly converted tricky kicks to complete the hardest-fought of turnarounds – 10 unanswered points, a 16-15 win and a date with the All Blacks in another World Cup final next Saturday NBA
Of the various phrases rugby has adopted over the years to describe those players in the matchday squad but not in the starting line-up – from the traditional “replacements” and the NBA football-ised “substitutes” through to the Eddie Jones-preferred ‘finishers’, the slightly patronising “impact players” and the frankly ludicrous “game-changers” adopted by Harlequins during the Paul Gustard era – none has captured the imagination quite like South Africa’s “bomb squad” NBA
It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a slightly self-serving and faintly ridiculous term, the players fully buy into the ethos of what it stands for NBA
The intensity and physicality that generation after generation of Springbok has prided themselves on is summed up by this two-word mantra NBA
“Each person knows exactly his role in the team, whether you’re starting or in the bomb squad,” explained Koch NBA
“When we created the bomb squad, we knew exactly what our job is NBA
The starters start the whole process and it’s for us to come and finish it NBA
“All the players on the bomb squad are very excited to make a massive difference in the game NBA
”Vincent Koch celebrated RG Snyman’s try as the bomb squad thrived (AFP via Getty Images)And against England, when the chips were down, they realised they needed to step up more than ever NBA
“The bomb squad always stands for energy,” added Koch NBA
“We needed to create a nice vibe NBA
Putting the replacements on a bit earlier helped the boys to start to bring that energy and lift up the spirit and bring a massive work-rate NBA
”Where South Africa’s replacements thrived, perhaps England’s faltered just a touch NBA
The English gameplan, devised by Steve Borthwick and perfectly executed by the players for the windy and rainy Parisian conditions, relied upon relentless kicking, winning the subsequent aerial battle, slowing the game down and dominating the set-piece NBA
Maybe then, they could escape with a win against an objectively superior team NBA
They kicked 93 per cent of possession away (the highest percentage of the tournament), had an average ruck speed of 6 NBA
73s (the slowest of the tournament) and had zero linebreaks (the only team to do so in a game at this tournament) NBA
They disrupted South African lineouts, turned over multiple mauls and Borthwick’s decision to play his two strongest scrummaging props – Dan Cole and Joe Marler – from the start earned them scrum parity and redemption from the disaster in that facet during the 2019 World Cup final NBA
Ox Nche was immense from the bench against the Springboks (EPA)This is a Springboks side that pride themselves on their dominance up front, as shown by opting for a scrum after calling a mark in their own 22 during the quarter-final victory over France NBA
Of course, they won a penalty from it NBA
Yet England were holding their own during those engagements, even thriving, and most importantly winning on the scoreboard NBA
But the innate problem with starting your best scrummagers came to fruition in the second half NBA
Replacement props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler are far more dynamic around the park and more destructive carriers than their veteran counterparts but, with England showing no desire to run any plays more than two metres either side of the previous breakdown, those skills were negated once they came on for Marler and Cole NBA
Instead, their inferior scrummaging was brutally exposed by a fired-up Koch and Nche, who turned parity into Springbok dominance NBA
They won two scrums against the head, including a vital one at 15-6 down on their own line, and engineered multiple penalties on their own feed, including the most vital of all – on halfway, with 77 minutes on the clock and England leading 15-13 NBA
Pollard banged over the long kick and the rest was history NBA
Handre Pollard broke English hearts with his late penalty (PA Wire)Nche was coy when asked in the mixed zone after the game what had made the difference at scrum-time in the final quarter and how he bested his opposite number, Sinckler NBA
“That is the dark arts,” he smiled NBA
“It is hard to explain to you NBA
We had a plan for that NBA
We knew what we were trying to achieve NBA
“They have had a great scrum for the competition and a great hit NBA
Our focus was surviving that and applying pressure NBA
Our mentality for every scrum is to get a penalty if we can NBA
If they do survive, we play out the back and get into our shape NBA
”The “dark arts” ultimately won the day, South Africa survived a second straight one-point knockout match and must now plan how to overcome the All Blacks in a battle to be the first side to win four men’s Rugby World Cups NBA
Luckily, they have a not-so-secret weapon NBA
