Kenny Jackett: 'We are looking over our shoulder'

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Kenny Jackett reveals that the club is now harbouring relegation fears after falling to back-to-back wins in the Championship.

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Kenny Jackett has conceded that the club is now more focused on avoiding the dropzone than mounting a charge for the top six following their 4-1 drubbing at Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday.

The defeat was the second in a row for the Midlands side and, after just one win in the last eight league outings, left them 17th in the Championship table. Last season Wolves missed out on the playoffs on goal difference but now find themselves nine points adrift of sixth and just seven points clear of the relegation places.

"I think it's very tough [to make the playoffs], looking at the last two performances," Jackett told reporters. "Before then I was saying things could go either way. With the right type of run we could have done that. Certainly the last two results have changed that.

"We're very much now, and I know this is obvious, looking over our shoulder."

The former Millwall boss went on to reiterate his belief that he will be able to turn around the club's fortunes soon, however.

"I can certainly understand with the last two results that people are unhappy with all of us, myself included, and as the head coach it's me mainly, I do understand that," he added.

"As for being able to put it right, I can quite clearly see where we are lacking and I have every confidence in myself to be able to put that right."

Next up for Wolves is a visit of Reading to Molineux on Boxing Day.
