Nightmare run is keeping Wolves boss Kenny Jackett awake
Kenny Jackett admits Wolves' slump is causing him sleepless nights – but insists he won't let the pressure affect his focus.
The head coach is experiencing by far the toughest spell since arriving at Molineux 18 months ago, with the club seeking to end a worrying four-game losing run at home to Bournemouth tomorrow.
From almost hitting the top of the Championship just a few short weeks ago, Jackett's team have conceded 14 goals in their run of defeats as he has searched – in vain to this point - for a solution.
Asked if the current run was affecting his sleep, Jackett said: "Certainly over the last few weeks, picking different combinations, working hard at trying to see where we went wrong.
"We've had similar conversations in the last few weeks and then still come out with the same results.
"Re-identifying, was that decision right? Was it this one? Where do we need to do better to go forward? What are the key aspects that are going to get us a win in this division? Those are the things that have been going through my mind.
"Do they go through your mind all night? They definitely do, yes.
"I am experienced enough to know that getting this week right and, most importantly, getting the set-up, the attitude, the ability and the focus of the players ready for Saturday is the only thing that I can affect."
With nearly 600 games as a manager under his belt, Jacket is able to call on no shortage of experience in times of trouble and believes it is imperative he focuses only the things he can affect.
"I think there's always pressure on you when you're in this position, you're in the public eye and that's part of the job," he added.
"The run we're having isn't nice and it isn't something that I would want at all but finding the right combination of players, the right form and the right performance level to come out of there is what I think about and concentrate on.
"I'm experienced enough to realise that that is where all of my energies have to go into.
"This run of form isn't something that any of us, myself least of all, is comfortable in."
