Kenny Jackett urges Wolverhampton Wanderers to maintain form

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Kenny Jackett insists that his side have to keep up their recent run of good form to push themselves into contention for a playoff place.

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Kenny Jackett has urged his team to repeat their good performance against Nottingham Forest in their upcoming Championship fixtures.

Jackett's men moved level on points with sixth-placed Derby County in the race for the playoffs as they recorded a 2-1 victory over Forest thanks to a strike from Benik Afobe and a goal from the penalty spot from Bakary Sako.

He told Sky Sports News: "We have to follow this win up with another against Leeds now, there will be a big crowd at Molineux and we have to focus on that now. The mood is very determined, there is good focus among the players and we are keen to keep improving.

"I'm delighted to have won. I felt that Forest put us under a lot of pressure in the first 20 minutes, a lot of energy, the crowd were right behind them. We defended well in that period, very well. Then we came through it and started to look a threat ourselves.

"Then just after half time, Afobe's scored a fantastic goal that, in a tight game, has put our noses in front. After that we were very professional, we got the second goal, we needed it and it was a good overall performance."

Wolves are eighth in the Championship, with six matches to play in the campaign.
