PAUL Lambert admitted Wolves didn’t do enough to beat his former side Blackburn Rovers in what was a ‘really poor’ game at Molineux.

Neither side ever really threatened a winner in what was a game of few chances at either end and the first meeting between Lambert and Rovers who he left in the summer before taking over the reins at Wolves.

Wolves are in the safety in mid-table after a run of six wins in eight games prior to the Rovers clash, and Lambert said: “I thought the game was really poor.

“There was a dearth of chances and we fell below the standard we’ve set for the past 10 games.

“In February we'd have lost it. We got a clean sheet, but we never did enough to win the game.

“We should have been more clinical, we got into good areas but didn’t take responsibility.

“We tried to look for that pass or make ourselves look good....just pull the trigger.

“I looked at the stats, we didn’t do enough. You don’t win games like that. It’s the first time I’ve really come away and thought we weren’t at it.”

Wolves mathematically secured safety with a 1-0 win at Leeds on Easter Monday.  And Lambert was disappointed with the intensity of his side against Rovers.

He added: “I'm never one to rest on anything - you keep carrying on to try and win games.

“Maybe it needs a bit of freshening up, this team, which I will do for Tuesday (against Huddersfield).

“I think we need freshness into the team.

“The intensity wasn't there. You can get games like that where you go out and think you’ve got someone else’s legs on.

“The pleasing thing is we never lost.

“If you go on the run we’ve just been on next season, we’ll not be far away.”

Lambert resisted the temptation to freshen up his side after the win at Leeds as he named an unchanged side for the Rovers visit.

And when asked if he regretted that decision, the Wolves boss said: “Not really, I thought the team that won at Leeds deserved to go again.

“I try not to have any regrets or they can get you down.

“I just didn't think we did enough.”
