Scrooge defenders a delight for Kenny Jackett

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett hailed his team's new-found defensive solidity as they won their second game in 48 hours.

A second consecutive clean sheet – on the back of conceding seven in two matches before that – helped Wolves to a 2-0 victory over Charlton Athletic at The Valley.

Jordan Graham and a Harry Lennon own goal proved to be the difference, with Wolves climbing to 11th in the league as a result, six points off the play-offs and 10 ahead of the relegation zone.

"For that back four, I'm very pleased," Jackett said.

"Two clean sheets in two games – I don't think Charlton had a chance or a decent effort. That's given us a bedrock to go on in terms of our play, our competitiveness and a foothold in the game in what is a very powerful division."

Wolves were roared on by almost 2,000 away supporters, whom Jackett felt made a big difference. Going to our own fans (in the second half), the support was fantastic.

Confidence

"For the numbers to fill the end like they did, I always thought, going towards our own supporters in the second half, we would get chances if we were competitive at the back.

"We got seven goals put past us in two games, which obviously knocks everybody's confidence and takes a lot away going forward. We had to start there and it's been two good clean sheets."

Graham's goal was his first in Wolves colours. His corner also provided the assist for the second.

Jackett said of the 20-year-old:

"Hopefully, it's the first of many and it was a good assist for the second, a quality ball in.

"It's been a good weekend for us, we feel we're on the right lines defensively. We have to recognise what we're doing well and keep doing more of the same."
