Wolves boss Kenny Jackett addresses 'glaring weaknesses'

Wolves have three months to make the additions Jackett believes could make them a force in the Championship.

With the emergency loan window being scrapped in 2016/17, he won't have the option of bringing in players outside of the transfer window, such as during last season when Mike Williamson and Jeremy Helan were snapped up on short-term deals.

"It's about trying to sign the right players, make sure we can get a compliment (in the squad), and effective players, and make sure we come out in August with a team that can do very well," Jackett told the Express & Star.

And when analysing where Wolves most needed to strengthen, Jackett pointed to needing strikers, a left-back and a left winger.

His team badly struggled for goals in the second half of this season despite signing Michal Zyro and Joe Mason in January.

"I feel we need options up front, that's the most glaring in terms of recognised centre forwards," he added. "We had a spell where we were looking to try to bring Michal Zyro on with Joe Mason and those type of things, when we were relatively safe (from relegation).

"It was a new pairing, both guys joined in January, and obviously you're looking at Zyro being a compliment to Mason, needing to change to 4-4-2 and a very bad tackle at MK Dons took that away, which is frustrating.

"(There are) glaring weaknesses there."

Left wing was also a problem for Wolves, with neither left-back Scott Golbourne nor left winger Sheyi Ojo staying past January.

Jackett added: "I would still suggest the left side as well is something we haven't done well at. Jordan Graham gave an 11-game cameo appearance, but showed enough that could be an answer, and he's young enough to get over his injury.

"Matt Doherty did very well in the left-back position but we need options as well. Natural full-backs is something that we need."
