Turn It Into Points

Posted on: Mon 08 Feb 2010

David Jones believes that Wolves can't afford to keep bemoaning the concession of goals in order to make the most of some promising performances.

 

In successive league games at Hull and Birmingham, Wolves have produced decent displays only to come away with a solitary point due to losing two goals at each.

And the midfielder believes it's paramount that the team start taking advantage of spells in games where they are on top.

 

"Once we've got in front we hadn't lost this season and the way the game went you'd have backed us to get a clean sheet," said Jones.


"It was absolutely heart-breaking to concede the two goals but we can take some positives out of the way we played.

 

"I'm really disappointed for everyone, including the fans. It was disappointing all round.

"Now we've got another important game on Wednesday, so we have to get over this, then kick-on and prepare for Tottenham.

"Hopefully we can start turning some of these performances where we feel unlucky, into wins.

 

"We have competed against teams and picked up points where we weren't expected.

 

"With this system we have played we could have picked up two wins in two away games.

 

"Hopefully we can put on another good performance against Tottenham but without the errors."

 

Tied into the recently changed formation has been the form of Kevin Doyle as a lone frontman.

 

The Irish international notched his sixth goal of the campaign and has performed admirably in holding the ball up and keeping Wolves moving.

 

"We showed again yesterday that our system works," he added.

 

"We should have come out with something and maybe at Hull we should have got three points but gave silly goals away.

 

"Kevin has done very well 'up top' on his own in recent games.

 

"He is a real target man, he holds the ball up and brings players into play. Again he showed what he can do.

 

"He's a big handful and there were some other good performances out there.

 

"We were just disappointed with the end result."
