100 points for promotion: Kenny Jackett sets ton target for Wolves

Kenny Jackett today set Wolves the target of the ton in the belief that it could take 100 points to secure automatic promotion.

Starting with tonight's re-arranged trip to Crawley, head coach Jackett believes Wolves must eclipse their club record total of 92 set in 1988-89 to guarantee a return to the Championship.

A 10-match unbeaten run where they've only dropped two points has left Wolves top of League One on 77 with 11 games left.

"We'd need 23 points from 11 games to reach 100 points," said Jackett.

"It's not inconceivable somebody is going to get there, or two sides will.

"They say two points a game will get you promotion and we have to be aiming for two points a game.

"Can we get another 23? If we got 100 points and didn't go up you'd be very unlucky or disappointed and perhaps both.

"They (Leyton Orient and Brentford) are both very good sides in what they've done so far and their ability to go on. It's a very good race."

Jackett admitted Wolves must again strive to find another way to win however after Shrewsbury's efficient gameplan thwarted them in Saturday's 0-0 draw.

The visitors played five deep-lying defenders and denied them space.

"It will be interesting to see what sides do after seeing what Shrewsbury did," he said.

"I think Crawley will go all out trying to attack us.

"They will have a different formation to Shrewsbury and it will be a different type of game.

"It's just up to us to do certain things better and if it comes around again, that we work it out and learn from it.

"We have to perhaps be better at getting that ball wide, and get around the back of defenders.

"Your forwards - and full-backs at the right time – need to go past individuals or perhaps a midfield line and then start attacking their back line with a combination of passes and running with the ball.

"From a manager's point of view, does changing your tactics take away your own strengths?

"It just shows you every game is different – that's the beauty of football, it's not necessarily predictable.

"Also, everyone else is trying to win as well, and they're trying to work out a way by analysing the opposition.

"As the season goes on, you see closer games, pitches deteriorate, there's more pressure on the games and people know other teams' strengths and weaknesses."
