Kenny Jackett backs Wolves duo as they eye club record

The club has lodged an official complaint with Walsall and the FA after both players were allegedly targeted by Saddlers fans during Saturday's 3-0 win at the Banks's.

Head coach Jackett takes his in-form side to Swindon this evening aiming to become the first Wolves team to win nine games in a row. And he backed keeper Ikeme – who he revealed claimed he had been racially abused at the Banks's Stadium before – and Elokobi to put the disruption behind them.

"They wanted it reported and they were disappointed with it," said Jackett.

"They're OK – they can both handle it and it's not going to affect them tonight – but that doesn't make it right.

"Carl said he got some racial abuse two years ago in a pre-season friendly.

"He didn't think it was right to let it go again without saying something.

"I back their stance. Both guys are good, senior professionals and excellent characters.

"There's no place for racial abuse in society and certainly not in our game."

Jackett also said Ikeme's reaction to the provocation wasn't an obscene gesture, as has been claimed.

"I think his reaction was to 'shush' them," said the boss, who is set to name an unchanged team for the fifth successive game tonight.

Meanwhile, Jackett has urged his players to look forward, not back and insisted they won't be complacent as they attempt to write their names in the history books.

"We should take confidence from it, but complacency can't follow and we have to look forward, not back," he said.

"Whatever we've done before now counts for nothing.

"In terms of the top of the table, we haven't got any breathing space.

"In no way do we underestimate the size of the task. Anything we get at Swindon, we'll have to earn."
