Wolves could still reach play-offs – Jackett

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett insisted after the 1-1 draw at QPR that his side can still make the Championship play-offs if he is able to make signings.

Sebastian Polter put Rangers ahead at Loftus Road with a second-minute header, but the visitors hit back with a fortuitous equaliser two minutes into the second half.

James Henry’s shot deflected in off both QPR centre-backs, hitting first Grant Hall and then Nedum Onuoha.

Wolves dominated much of the second period but were unable to pick up the two extra points that would have moved them closer to the top six.

“We need a hell of a run to get there, we know that, but it is still open. The top sides don’t look like dropping points at the moment, but that can change,” said Jackett.

“We don’t need much in terms of players. We don’t need to reconstruct a spirited squad. With the right additions we certainly feel we can climb the table.

“We don’t feel we’re too far away. There is a gap, but we’re trying to close it.

“There are some days to go until the transfer deadline and it (signing players) is something we’d like to do.

“We’d prefer to sign our own players but if the right loan players are there we would be interested – and sometimes loan players can become permanent.

“Permanent would be preferable for us, but we certainly wouldn’t turn a player down if we thought they could help us.”

Wolves recovered well after conceding a sloppy early goal and Jackett was pleased with their performance.

“It was poor start, but we came back very well and in the second half we certainly worked their keeper,” he said.

“We showed a lot of spirit and a lot of quality and endeavour. I’m pleased with the way we came back into the game. It was a really spirited performance.”
