Paul Lambert: 'Wolverhampton Wanderers will get over poor form'

Paul Lambert has backed his Wolverhampton Wanderers players to get the club out of trouble following a sixth consecutive defeat in all competitions.

Wolves sit just one point above the Championship relegation zone after falling to a 2-1 loss at Reading on Saturday.

The defeat at the Madejski Stadium is the fifth in a row for Wolves in the league, while a 2-0 home loss against Chelsea in the FA Cup is also in the worrying sequence.

Lambert told reporters: "It'll turn for them, they can't keep playing like that and losing games, it's got to turn. They feel the same. You wouldn't have foreseen [six defeats] happening. But I take a win the same as a defeat and don't get too high or low.

"I've no problem with the performance [at Reading] and you can't legislate for the goals - one's offside and one's a shot that didn't have the power to even make the line. But they go in. And when you're down there things go against you.

"As long as we stick together, the club, the fans, the players, we'll get out of it. I had a chat with the players and asked their opinion. It's the same as mine, which is good. If they keep the belief we'll come through it, I've got no doubt about that."

Wolves are back in action this Tuesday night as they travel to Portman Road to take on Ipswich Town.
