Nouha Dicko can bring new dimension to Wolves

French striker Dicko bagged a debut goal following his £300,000 move from Wigan in a man-of-the-match performance in Saturday's 3-1 against Bristol City.

The 21-year-old also had a big hand in the second goal, after defender Derrick Williams diverted his shot in for own goal, while he went close with another effort late on.

"It was a very good start for Nouha here and I was pleased with him," said head coach Jackett.

"He got an early goal, he was involved right the way through the game and was a threat – he gave us a different dimension.

"He's got to make sure he backs it up and goes on to have a terrific career at Wolves.

"He was in behind and off the shoulder of the centre halves and constantly giving them problems asking questions of them.

"As long as he keeps testing defences like he did on Saturday, things will work out for him because we can play the football to create chances.

"It was a bright start for him and he was unlucky not to add to his total."

Dicko played up front on his own as Jackett tellingly left strikers Leigh Griffiths, Kevin Doyle and Liam McAlinden on the bench, while Bjorn Sigurdarson failed to make the 18 for the third game in a row.

The Wolves boss believes there is more to Dicko's game than pace and goals.

"He had a hand in some very good moves and situations throughout the game," said Jackett.

"Although he's small, he's physically very strong and difficult to play against because of his pace and power.

"He's a good addition and I think it was the right time to add a player in that area who, at 21, is similar to Michael Jacobs in being the right age and right profile and hunger to make their name here."

Sako came off the bench as a 69th-minute substitute for James Henry and helped turn the game Wolves' way with the decisive third goal, his eighth strike of the season.

Jackett was full of praise for the enigmatic French winger.

"Bakary showed a good attitude on Saturday and he's still firmly a Wolves player," said the boss.

"He fitted in very well and got what was a crucial third goal to give us some breathing space.

"It's refreshing how he did and he got a good response from the crowd.

"He was going back defensively to pick up people on our own penalty spot and showed a very good attitude and good quality."

Wolves' best period of the game was in the last quarter when they over-ran Bristol City.

Jackett stressed nothing less than full commitment for the whole game will do as they bid to close in on top two Leyton Orient and Brentford.

"Early on in the season we didn't show enough legs for the whole 95 minutes," he said.

"To be a good team you need players that can run for 95 minutes.

"To play for Wolves the two big aspects you need are to be able to run and play."
