Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Kenny Jackett calls for playoff push

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Kenny Jackett has declared that his side are capable of reaching the Championship playoffs following their 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

The Wolves boss said that his team have a fighting chance of reaching the top six if they maintain their good form, and is relishing Friday's clash with fifth-placed Derby County.

"It's a crucial one. We need a great run and if we can find our form then we have an opportunity, it sets up Friday as a great game," Sky Sports News quotes Jackett as saying.

"We'll look forward to it and it's an opportunity for us against one of the sides above us to pull them back a bit more.

"The gap is five points and it's the sort of night you're in the game for and we're looking quickly towards Friday."

Bakary Sako's penalty and goals from Benik Afobe and James Henry secured maximum points for Wolves against the Owls.
