Wolves have drawn three successive games 0-0 at home – the first time that's happened since 1899.

That makes six goalless stalemates at Molineux this season, which hasn't happened before in the club's 139-year history.

However Wolves did extend their unbeaten run to six matches, their longest sequence without defeat this season.

Jackett said: "Six games unbeaten is an achievement and a good thing but we do want more going forward and we do want to be able to take on defenders and exploit the one-v-one situations.

"It doesn't really feel like a six game unbeaten run and it is a frustrating day for us. Ultimately, it's three 0-0 draws on the trot at home and that is frustrating.

"We do want to create and we do want to go forward. There was a good attitude of the players and again, if you can't win you don't lose."

Goalkeeper Carl Ikeme produced three excellent saves, including two in stoppage time to keep a clean sheet.

Jackett added: "We are pleased with the clean sheet and Carl made two very good saves at the death, one in particular was outstanding.

"I felt, in the second-half, we had the beating of them and were on top of Blackburn with the majority of the ball.

"We turned the ball over well in midfield and Conor Coady and Jack Price were excellent getting to the ball and recycling it wide.

"Our biggest threat was James Henry and the likes of Danny Batth and Matt Doherty at the back were very good again.

"Dominic Iorfa had some good situations using his pace to get on the outside of Henry, but we couldn't find the end product.

"Ultimately, we couldn't get into the one-versus-one situations, or beat our player.

"Although we had a grip on the game we were never in the situation in the final third where we were in a situation where we could create something."

Youngsters Connor Hunte and Bright Enobakhare were sent on to inject some life in Wolves' performance.

Jackett thought the pair contributed well, adding: "It will be interesting to see how they develop.

"It was good experience for them and now we will see how their careers develop.

"It is a positive to see a lot of young players out there but there has to be a balanced view because we have to create more than that at home. For all of us, that is the bottom line."
