Jackett tips Wolves young guns to be firing again soon

Inconsistency has blighted Wolves' season so far, typified by successive 3-0 victories being followed by a 4-2 defeat at Derby on Sunday.

Jackett said the players had the character and determination to be back firing on all cylinders when Brentford visit Molineux tomorrow night.

He had a debrief with the squad yesterday to pore over the Derby loss – and revealed he always welcomes feedback from his players.

"There's good character in the group and good determination there, definitely," Jackett said.

"And maintaining confidence and being determined to put things right, wanting to get over defeats, learn from them and put them right in the upcoming games, is a big feature that we have.

"They're disappointed they lost the game but there's some realism as well going forward.

"I always ask and speak to players and ask their opinion and see where they're coming from.

"That gives you a good idea of what they're going to do in the future. Is it an honest assessment or unrealistic?

"If it's honest and realistic, then they always have a chance of improving in the future."

Midfielder David Edwards will have a fitness test tomorrow on the groin injury that kept him out Sunday.

"He has a groin injury, he'll be back at some stage this week," the Wolves boss said.

"We'll leave that as late as we possibly can, maybe a Wednesday morning fitness test."

Edwards picked up the injury while on international duty for Wales.

Jackett continues to scour the loan market for potential signings, particularly a striker, but it remains a fruitless search.

"We're no closer to bringing anyone in ahead of Wednesday's game," he added.

"We've only got two recognised strikers with young Bright coming on as the third one, Rajiv van La Parra hsa played up there sometimes as well, so that's where our squad is.

"Yes we are always looking. If we can improve any position we'll do that."
