'No ill-feeling' towards Wolves' Jordan Graham says Paul Lambert

There's no ill-feeling towards Wolves winger Jordan Graham, ex-boss Paul Lambert insists.

Graham was on loan at Ipswich Town for the season but since Lambert took charge of the struggling Championship club Graham has been frozen out.

He's now training with League One outfit Oxford United and will have his spell at Portman Road cut short in January.

Lambert sold 23-year-old Graham (to Wolves) when he was in charge at Villa and the winger later earned Lambert's wrath at Wolves over a disciplinary issue.

When asked if Graham's loan would be cut short, Lambert said: "Likely so, yes, because we have a lot of young players coming through here so they've got to progress as well.

"I can only come in and see with my own eyes what I think is right and what I think is wrong.

"We've a squad here, with a lot of young ones as well who I think are going to make an impact sooner rather than later.

"I just go with my own eye. There is no ill feeling towards anybody, I’ll pick what I think is right and I always do that.

"Jordan was only a young kid when I was with him at Aston Villa, and then he was out injured at Wolves.

"There’s never been a problem, I just pick what I think."

Graham's Wolves contract runs until 2020.
