Kenny Jackett: No quick fix for Wolves
Boss Kenny Jackett admits there is no magic wand to fix Wolves' woes – but has backed his players to start putting it right tomorrow.
Wolves travel to Brentford looking to end a miserable six-game winless run that has surely ended any hope of a finish in the play-offs.
Jackett insisted that, despite Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Huddersfield, he was pleased with the performance, but knows there's no quick fix to transform Wolves' woeful form.
He said: "There's no magic wand. We did lose and that's the bottom line, but the players showed good effort and commitment.
"We'll work hard. If they show that type of effort and spirit (at Brentford) they'll be on the right lines. We have to keep working away at it.
"Of course you always want to be winning games. We've lost and that's the bottom line."
Jackett changed formation for the clash with the Terriers, switching to 4-4-2 with Joe Mason and Bjorn Sigurdarson up front.
The system showed promise, particularly up front where the two strikers combined to good effect at times.
And the Wolves chief hopes that with a good attitude and spirit, results can start to turn.
He added: "We went to a new shape, it was the right one for the forward player (Mason) we've brought in.
"In the second-half, I thought we were the more likely to win it. But we've won some very close games like that in recent months and, unfortunately, that one just went away from us.
"I think 4-4-2 suits the personnel we have as we have lost some strong 4-3-3 players. And it suits the striker we have brought in as well.
"I felt Conor Coady and George Saville did well in midfield on and off the ball and we pressed and pressurised Huddersfield but were unable to find a goal.
"Results are the big thing and the bottom line and we didn't get one after a tight game so we are not happy with that.
"There are also circumstances, and effort and commitment from the players, and certain things we have to back.
"It is not nice to lose, but the effort and the application from the players was good on a tough day. They have to keep working that way and We now have another game to come on Tuesday.
"We have to work hard – it will be the same group of players – and if they show the same attitude and spirit they will be on the right lines."
