No complaints from Kenny Jackett on draw

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett had no complaints with just a point from the goalless draw at Blackpool in the Championship.

The Tangerines picked up their first point of the campaign six games in at the expense of Wolves, who had won five matches.

It could have been worse - Nile Ranger hit the bar and Tony McMahon the side-netting in a spirited second-half showing for the home side.

But it was a difficult day at the office for Wolves, who struggled to create clear-cut chances and forced goalkeeper Joe Lewis into just one serious save, from an early Michael Jacobs header.

Jackett said: "We had the lion's share of possession and as an away side looked in control for spells of the game, particularly in the first-half,

"But we didn't create enough clear cut chances. Blackpool always kept two up front to make sure that they had a threat.

"We know about Nile Ranger from last season – this was his first start of this season and he was a real handful and our centre-halves did well to deal with him.

"The first goal is always a big thing and we were looking for that, but Blackpool defended well and it didn't come.

"Then in the second half they had a couple of good chances and situations in the box although we had the same as well at the other end. The glass is either half full or half empty.

"With the domination we had at times and some of the football we played I was looking for more but congratulations to Blackpool, who played with fantastic spirit.

"They have drawn the game 0-0 and been applauded off. The supporters were right behind the players and right behind the manager and you could see that in the spirit that the players showed.

"They could drop off and let us have the ball and didn't try to impose themselves on us too much, but showed fantastic spirit in their defending and good heart.

"We couldn't really get through and pull their back four around and that's a credit to them and the way they defended and the spirit they showed as a side.

"So overall I felt that Blackpool deserved a draw and, for all our good passing and commitment, we didn't create enough chances."
