Video: Kenny Jackett can't defend Wolves

Boss Kenny Jackett was again critical of Wolves' defending after their 4-0 humbling at Brentford.

Goals from Alan Judge, Stuart Dallas, Andre Gray and Jota condemned Jackett's men to a fourth straight Championship defeat.

Wolves have conceded 14 goals in that period and Jackett was once more left fuming at the ease with which Brentford were allowed to take their chances.

"In the first half it was a close game, we had some big chances, did well on the counter attack, but ultimately gave a poor first goal away," said Jackett.

"We gave the ball away and Judge has pounced and scored.

"We had chances down the other end, second half the more we opened up and the more we tried to throw bodies forward and runners forward the more we just got caught on the counter-attack.

"Their second goal, we were in a good position, a mix-up between Saville and Graham, they've counter-attacked and finished very well.

"Our two centre-halves, holding midfield player and left-back are in no-man's land and we're two-nil down.

"Third goal, Gray's run past both our centre-halves and left back and put it in the far corner so it was very poor defending.

"The fourth goal two midfield players have got caught, Bretford regain in our left-back spot and the ball's in.

"For us to make it competitive we can't give goals away like that."

Defeat dropped Wolves a further place to 12th in the table and Jackett added: "There's frustration going forward because we did have a lot of good situations, a lot of good crosses," he said.

"Our wide men were a threat a big threat but obviously we couldn't capitalise on it. We were punished by a good side. The more bodies we threw forward, the more likely Brentford looked like scoring.

"Two big chances, Sako at the far post and Graham at the far post. Our naviety to the counter-attack was the most disturbing thing."
