Morgan awaits his fate after ref outburst

Morgan left his seat in the directors' box and appeared on the touchline to remonstrate with Jones after two controversial red cards for Wolves players in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth.

The club was today set to appeal the dismissals of Rajiv van La Parra and Matt Doherty, with head coach Kenny Jackett convinced their red cards will be overturned. Dutchman van La Parra and defender Doherty both saw red in the second half, prompting a furious Morgan to confront Jones near the players' tunnel at the final whistle.

The FA confirmed they will decide whether to take action against Morgan after reading Cheshire-based Jones's match report, which was due to be received by officials at Wembley today.

Wolves have declined to comment on Morgan's actions, which came at the end of the club's fifth successive Championship defeat. But boss Jackett said: "I didn't see it, but I'm sure he wanted an explanation and wanted to talk about the incidents that happened and affected the game."

Jones adjudged van La Parra to have intentionally elbowed Cherries Steve Cook, while Doherty was dismissed for a stoppage-time tackle on Brett Pitman. Both face three-match bans for violent conduct but Jackett said: "We will certainly appeal on both fronts. I do think that we have a case. The information I've got from the officials is that van La Parra led with his elbow and because of that it was a red card. I didn't think that at the time and upon seeing it again after the game I felt it was head to head.

"Perhaps it was a booking for a mistimed challenge but I didn't think it was a red card. The second sending-off I felt was equally harsh. Matt Doherty won the ball."

Referee Jones had been relegated from the Premier League to the Championship after wrongly booking Manchester City star Sergio Aguero for diving in the title chasers' Premier League win at Southampton.

Meanwhile, Jackett has insisted no-one's place is safe in his starting XI as he intends to keep shuffling his pack in a bid to end their losing run.

After dropping last year's Player of the Season Kevin McDonald for the 4-0 loss to Brentford, Jackett kept the surprises coming by omitting skipper Sam Ricketts against Bournemouth on Saturday.

George Saville and Lee Evans were also rested, while Rajiv van La Parra was switched up front – and Jackett's tinkerings almost worked as Wolves led until van La Parra's red card.

Jackett also experimented with a 4-4-2 formation and when asked if the recent exclusions of Ricketts and McDonald were a message to the players, he said: "In the run we are in where we've been disappointed up until Saturday with both performances and results, then yes.

"They were selection changes after a bad run to try to get the players positive and the team looking like it can go forward again.

"It's my job to try to find the right mix, the right partnerships, right through the team. And there were several that were good on Saturday and we can base things on that going forward."

The Bournemouth defeat made it five losses on the spin for Jackett's men but he believes that, unlike the other setbacks, there are positives to be taken.

And in the wake of the controversial red cards for van La Parra and Matt Doherty, Jackett wants to see heads held high in camp, not hung low.

He added: "It was a better performance than in recent weeks, a much better performance, and that's something we have to replicate and something that we shouldn't forget about.

"And also nobody within the club should be feeling sorry for themselves. That's not going to take us out of what is a very, very poor run."
