Kenny Jackett: Bournemouth will be another test for us
Kenny Jackett is eager for Wolves to match Bournemouth's success after describing Saturday's visitors as another 'yardstick' for measuring the Championship''s top teams.
The head coach believes the squad assembled by Cherries boss Eddie Howe is among the best in the division, with the south coast club sitting fourth in the table.
After facing Derby, Nottingham Forest and Brentford in recent weeks, Wolves now have another tough fixture as they aim to halt their four-game losing run.
But Jackett sees it as a further chance to test themselves against a team who will challenge for promotion.
"We want to be up there with these teams and with these clubs," he said.
"If it is a test for us then they are ones we want. We want to work out if there is a way of matching these teams.
"They are the yardstick and Bournemouth will be as well."
Bournemouth, who were promoted from League One in 2013, boast a varied and deadly set of attacking players.
Wolves summer target Callum Wilson, who joined in a £3 million move from Coventry, has already netted 11 goals while Brett Pitman, Matt Ritchie and Yann Kermorgant have also been in the goals.
They will be up against a Wolves defence which has conceded 14 times during their losing run.
"Those players have been pretty potent," added Jackett.
"Although Wilson is quite outstanding at 11, they have spread the goals around that forward line."
