ON THE face of it, a point, 3 goals and a missed penalty is not bad going against a team unbeaten and top of the Championship. However, with the majority of first team players available for selection, today's performance wasn't good enough.

ON THE face of it, a point, 3 goals and a missed penalty is not bad going against a team unbeaten and top of the Championship. However, with the majority of first team players available for selection, today's performance wasn't good enough.
Wolves are still without a win this season and a late goal from substitute Colin Cameron earned Wolves a point in another game Wolves should, and could have won.
Forget the league table. Forget the form of both sides. The Wolves side/squad that Dave Jones had available to him today should have been good enough to see off Wigan, but once more lack of determination, fight and passion from some players has cost Wolves dearly.
"Some people are not doing their jobs properly." Jones told WOW after the game. "Whether it is lack of confidence, lack of communication or lack of discipline we seem to have forgotten how to win." he added.
Wolves now head towards Brighton on Tuesday, a game which has now been labeled a "must win" game by the Fans and Media. Anything other than six points from two tough away trips at Brighton and Plymouth respectively could see the end of Jones' reign as Manager.
The Manager added that he would not allow any panic to seep into the dressing room as Wolves still remain within touching distance of the bottom of the table "There's no panic in the camp. We are starting to get people back. There a five players still in the treatment room but what we had available today should be good enough at this level." said Jones.
Wolves performance today was poor, but Kenny Miller could have won the game for Wolves, but the Scot missed his second penalty of the season. Wolves fourth penalty miss from the last five penalties "Kenny had a golden opportunity to put us level with more of the match left," added Jones. "He had to go on and score after missing, and credit to him for keeping his head up. But he could have had a hat-trick and maybe now I have to find another penalty taker."
