'We're back on track' says Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett

Wolves returned to winning ways with only their fourth victory in 13 games with one of their best performances of the season after goals from Dave Edwards and Lee Evans extended the gap over fourth-placed Preston to five points.

But Wolves remain third after leaders Brentford made it 13 wins in 14 games beating Port Vale 2-0 and Leyton Orient thumped Carlisle 4-0 to lie three and two points clear of them respectively.

Head coach Jackett believes Wolves have belatedly been rewarded for improved performances.

"It's been a difficult period results-wise but performances have been excellent," he said.

"But if you keep playing like that results do come and it does fall for you.

"We've set some standards in the last few weeks from Orient onwards where we've played very good football and been in control of games.

"It was a key game and a key result.

"The pressure builds up the more you don't win, but you wouldn't have thought it because the players are playing with a lot of confidence."

Wolves created chances galore but Jackett is still looking for more ruthlessness up front to return to the top two.

"We can put more chances away and get more goals," he said.

"It's up to us when we're on top to put sides away.

"It's something we've worked on because we know we need to improve.

"We've got quite a determined and confident bunch but only wins can help breed confidence.

"We want to be higher. We were pleased with Saturday and there are some promising signs in terms of the football, but we have to convert that into results.

"If we don't, the top of the league will run away from us and we don't want that to happen."
