Ally Robertson: Wolves can maintain their winning run

Wolves' 4-1 triumph at the County Ground was a ninth successive victory for Kenny Jackett's side – taking them past the eight-game winning run of the club's Third Division title-winners of 1988-89.

It gave the current side Wolves' longest ever winning sequence.

But ex-centre-back Robertson, who figured in six of the eight straight wins under Graham Turner, has urged Jackett's men not to settle for single figures.

"It's absolutely fantastic," said Robertson, who became a hugely popular figure at Wolves after becoming a legend for local rivals Albion.

"It's great to see the club going back on a run and heading in the right direction after what they have been through in the last couple of years.

"It was all doom and gloom in the last two seasons but the manager has done a fabulous job and it's great to see them break the record.

"Now I hope they go on and smash it completely extend the run to 10, 11, 12, 13 games – just keep it going for as long as they possibly can. There's no reason why it has to end here."

Roberton and Co recorded their eight-in-a-row before Christmas and went onto win the Third Division by eight points from Sheffield United.

Yesterday's victory kept Jackett's men two points clear of Leyton Orient, who have played two games more, and three ahead of second-placed Brentford, who have played the same number as Wolves.

And Robertson hailed the work of the Molineux boss after he took charge following back-to-back relegations.

"People might say Wolves should never have ended up in this league, but the fact is that they did and that was the reality when Kenny took over," said the Scot.

"He has had to clear out the squad, move on the big earners and bring in a load of new players and mould a new team, and he has done it and managed to get results.

"It wasn't an easy job so he has done fantastically well."

Swindon's goal last night, from Michael Smith, was just the second conceded by Wolves in their nine-game run – a sequence that has included seven clean sheets.

And ex-defender Robertson said: "That really is a manager's dream.

"If you can have a team that isn't conceding goals you give yourself a massive chance of succeeding but it is easier said than done, so that record is fantastic."
