Kenny Jackett comes out fighting at Wolves
Boss Kenny Jackett admits he's made mistakes this season – and declared that his Wolves side are a team in transition.
Under-pressure Jackett conceded there were things he would have done differently since August, saying there had been 'too much of a transition'.
And he again pointed to the difficulty of replacing Bakary Sako. But Jackett has again expressed an unstinting belief that he will transform Wolves' fortunes.
"I understand the managerial climate and that I'm the person in the firing line, that goes with the territory," he said. "My determination to turn it round is very high, my own personal confidence is high.
"From last season there's possibly been too much of a transition in terms of the team, the strengths of the side, and we're in the process, it looks like, of building a new successful team and that can't come quick enough."
Is there anything he would have done differently this season, in hindsight?
"Some of the things, yes, of course," he said.
"I'm not going to state them but some of them, yes, and some of them have been out of our hands, it's the way football goes.
"Injuries to Danny Batth and Ethan Ebanks-Landell, guys getting over things, (Nouha) Dicko's injury, us possibly replacing Sako, which was a really big ask.
"We tried a number of people and we've got a 20-year-old now (Jordan Graham) who some six months later looks like a very good prospect as well, and he's a Birmingham lad.
"The transition from one successful side to another can catch you out, there's no doubt about that.
"It's been a bit harder to score goals than last year when we were very incisive and yes, talking, organising, people that can pull things together and get the back four playing as a unit.
"I understand I'm in the results business, but I've been in it a long time.
"I don't worry about that side of it. I just focus on the next game."
