Two-goal Greg Halford admits he'd been disappointed with his form at the start of his Wolves career prior to his clinical brace against Scunthorpe last night.

 

The versatile summer signing came off the bench at half time at Glanford Park and not only played in several different positions, he also found the net with a glancing header and stunning free kick in the 4-2 win.

By his own admission the 24-year-old feels he could have done better during pre-season so far, and is now hoping to "kick on" as the start of the Barclays Premier League campaign grows ever closer.

 

He said:  "Apart from the performances against North Queensland, MK Dons and Scunthorpe as a right-back, I haven't played particularly well.

 

"I feel I've been very average and I've been disappointed.

 

"I've had a chat with the manager during the week to put over my concerns over how well I'm playing.

 

"He gave me a vote of confidence - but only after saying I wouldn't be starting last night!

 

"I was a bit down to be honest so this game was exactly what I needed.

 

"It was great to score a couple of goals to ease my way back into it.

 

"Hopefully I can kick on now and start the season well."

 

And Greg also hopes last night proves a sign of things to come in terms of his - and the team's - ability to get amongst the goals.

 

"It's very important we can score from different positions because we need goals from all over the place," he added.

 

"I hope I can score a few goals this season because I feel I can with free kicks and headers.

 

"So last night was a good thing in terms of scoring from different positions and from different players.

 

"I said to a couple of the lads before the game 'we need to score a few tonight' just to boost our confidence because we hadn't scored too many goals in pre-season.

 

"The only other time we'd scored more than one was against North Queensland Fury, which was two, so it was important to get a few."
