I was flicking around on skysports.com to see if anything caught my eye to post on here. Sure enough I found this piece on Peter Beagrie's Page. This question was put to Pete ' Peter. Love the column and I just wonder which areas you think Kenny Jackett needs to add to his impressive Wolves side in the summer to make sure they’re competitive in the Championship next season? Thanks. Michael'

BEAGS SAYS: Congratulations, Michael, on a brilliant season – only what Wolves fans have deserved after successive seasons of misery. I described the appointment of Kenny Jackett as understated and a case of sense and sensibility, bringing much-needed stability. I didn’t fancy you for promotion until his appointment and the way he has transformed an ageing, under-achieving squad into a predominantly young, energetic, vibrant team needs to be applauded. Let’s just pay tribute to, for me, your player of the season – goalkeeper Carl Ikeme. Given Man of the Match in a televised game against Leyton Orient over Easter, he has, on so many occasions, produced brilliant saves while the scoreline has remained at 0-0. He must have been worth 20 points at least. Golbourne, in my eyes, along with Jake Bidwell at Brentford, are the two best left-backs in the division. Quick and athletic, he joins in at all the right times and with good distribution, which is a must for modern day full-backs. Kenny’s signings have all been a success, bar none. Kevin McDonald has justified his alleged £1m fee after joining from Sheffield United, getting goals when initially playing behind the front man, and of late playing a deeper role, sitting and allowing the likes of Henry, Jacobs and the brilliant Bakary Sako to go and terrorise defences – and load the bullets for Perpetual Motion, Nouha Dicko. This young and hungry side Kenny has built, I believe, if they are all there for the Championship kick-off in August, already have enough to stay in that division, but will need more strength in depth. They will need another quality centre forward to push Clarke and partner Dicko, a guaranteed hit in the second tier, for me. I’d like to see a more defensively-minded midfielder than messrs Edwards and McDonald to give the likes of Jacobs, Henry and Sako the platform to go forward and create, but also protect the two centre-halves. Kenny will definitely need another central defender to provide competition for places with Stearman and Batth. The big question being what to do with Johnson, Ward and Doyle when they return and Jamie O’Hara, whether they have a part to play in Jackett’s Wolverhampton revolution. One thing’s for sure: Wolves are not wandering aimlessly as they have now direction and that, fortunately, is upwards. Well done to everybody involved with Wolverhampton Wanderers FC on a spectacular season, which will see them hopefully break the 100-point barrier.
