Wolves boss Kenny Jackett keen to maintain standards
Kenny Jackett today admitted his record-breaking Wolves team showed their best and worst and accused them of "coasting" their way to making history last night.
The 4-1 victory at Swindon meant Jackett's side became the first Wolves team in the club's 137-year history to win nine games in a row, eclipsing the joint record held by sides in 1915, 1967, 1987 and 1988.
Two goals from man of the match Bakary Sako, Nouha Dicko's seventh in eight games and substitute Leon Clarke's first since returning to the club saw Wolves maintain their two-point lead at the top of League One after wins for rivals Leyton Orient, Brentford and Rotherham, while Preston drew.
Jackett admitted his feelings were tempered by the Jekyll and Hyde-type performance.
"It's a great feeling and a terrific achievement by the players," said the head coach. "But it was a game of two halves performance-wise.
"I was very pleased with the first-half – we were absolutely excellent, we showed some class and it was as good as we've produced.
"We showed some clinical finishing and we could have had more.
"But the second half was as poor as we've been because we've set high standards and we fell away."
"We tried to manage the game but we rode our luck and at times we were fortunate not to concede more goals.
