Wolves boss Kenny Jackett admitted it was hard to make excuses for his team after seeing his side suffer a fourth straight Championship defeat.

Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Brentford, coming on top of losses at Ipswich (2-1) and Derby (5-0) and a 3-0 home reverse to Nottingham Forest in between, has seen Wolves slip to 12th.

"With a scoreline like that, it's hard to make excuses," Jackett told 91热爆 WM.

"The goals against column is poor and we're not scoring down the other end."

Following last Thursday's closure of the emergency loan window, Jackett also knows he has to get by with what he has at his disposal for the next five matches, until the transfer window opens on 1 January.

"They have to be [the players to end the bad run]," he added. "The window is closed.

"Admittedly, we lost Scott Golbourne on his comeback after injury at half-time. But, other than Lee Evans, who's 20, and George Saville, who's 21, we had a very experienced side out there.

"At half-time, it was only 1-0. A close and cagey game. And Rajiv van La Parra's had a positive game. He got plenty of crosses in and was a threat. But the more we opened ourselves up, the more Brentford looked like scoring.

"We need to recognise what were doing wrong and do the basics better than we have been, and we'll come out fighting at home to Bournemouth next week."
