Wolves forward Freddie Eastwood believes he has a future at Molineux despite a frustrating first season.
The former Southend striker has made only 10 league starts since moving last summer, but has come off the bench on a further 20 occasions.
"Overall I don't think I've done anything wrong for the manager or the football club," Eastwood told BBC WM.
"Something's got to change because I don't want to be sitting on the bench for three-quarters of the season."

Norwich City captain Mark Fotheringham is looking forward to negotiating a new contract at Carrow Road.
The 24-year-old midfielder is one of a number of players who are out of contract at the end of the season.
Fotheringham was made skipper by Glenn Roeder last autumn and has since been pivotal in their Championship survival, and he wants to stay with the club.
"In terms of myself I want to be here, so hopefully they can get it sorted as soon as possible," he said.
Fotheringham signed a one-year contract extension last summer after Peter Grant had signed him from Swiss Super League side FC Aarau on a short-term deal.

Bristol City defender Bradley Orr has described being named in the Championship team of the year at the PFA awards as 'unbelieveable'.
The Liverpool-born full-back was included in the team along with fellow Robins team-mate Marvin Elliott.
"It means the world to me, to be honest, and I've got the gaffer to thank for showing faith in me.
"To be acknowledged on the night was a bonus and it was a night that I will never forget."

Ipswich Town midfielder David Norris has had surgery on the heel injury that brought a premature end to his season.
The 27-year-old has missed Town's last seven matches after suffering the injury in the opening 25 minutes of the 2-0 win over Charlton on 15 March.
Norris, who joined Town from Plymouth in January, will be on crutches for almost two weeks before he starts rehabilitation work.
The club are confident he will be fully fit in time for pre-season training.
Town's physio Matt Byard has told the club's website: "We were hoping to avoid an operation and get him back in action and he was making progress but he could only get to around 70% activity before the pain intensified.

Preston midfielder Lewis Neal has agreed a deal which will keep him at North End for a further 12 months.
The 26-year-old, who joined Preston in August 2005, could have left the club under the Bosman ruling in the summer.
With similar deals already agreed with Joe Anyinsah and Callum Davidson, North End have every member of their squad under contract.
"Lewis is a good player," manager Alan Irvine told the club's website. "So it wasn't a difficult decision."

Burnley midfielder Garreth O'Connor has been released by the Clarets after three years at Turf Moor.
The 29-year-old's contract is up in the summer, but Burnley decided to release him early after he made just one brief appearance for the Clarets this season.
Manager Owen Coyle told the club's official website: "It's unfortunate for Garreth that it's never worked out and we wish him well.
"He has worked hard during my time here and just never got a chance."
O'Connor made 38 league appearances in three seasons at Burnley - including just one outing this season as an 89th-minute substitute.
He had a two-month loan spell at his old club Bournemouth at the start of the campaign, but was hampered by injuries.

Cardiff City captain Darren Purse was relieved to have his three-match ban overturned on appeal after fearing he could miss the FA Cup final on 17 May.
Purse received a straight red card in Saturday's 3-3 draw at Burnley for a challenge on Clarets striker Andy Cole.
But on Tuesday a Football Association of Wales panel overturned the decision.
"I'm delighted with the decision as I'm available for the Barnsley match on Sunday, for the FA Cup final in May and the start of next season," Purse said.
Fomer England striker Cole needed 10 stitches in a leg wound following the challenge by Purse and publicly criticised the nature of the tackle.
But the Bluebirds centre-back says there was no malicious intent at Turf Moor, merely an honest challenge with an unfortunate outcome.

Southampton's on-loan defender Chris Lucketti can play in Saints' crucial final game of the season against his parent club Sheffield United on Sunday.
Southampton have confirmed to BBC Radio Solent that there is no recall clause in his deal.
The Football League differ from the Premier League in allowing loan players to play against their parent clubs.
Lucketti, 36, has formed a successful central-defensive partnership with Chris Perry for Saints in recent weeks.
Even if they win against Sheffield United, Southampton could still end up being relegated to League One depending on other results in the Championship.

Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock says his team can still improve this season having already rocketed up the Championship table.
The Eagles were beaten 2-1 at Hull City on Saturday but are a point clear in the final play-off position.
Warnock told BBC London 94.9: "I think we can only get stronger, we've really enjoyed the second half of the season.
"I think we can improve on this performance. We've got to regroup then get back into it."

Hull City could be boosted by the return of Dean Windass in their side to face Ipswich Town on Sunday.
Windass required more than 20 stitches on a leg wound he received in a clash with Crystal Palace midfielder Shaun Derry last Saturday.
The club said they would know by Wednesday if the 39-year-old striker would be fit to play.
The Tigers are also waiting on fitness checks on fellow striker Henrick Pedersen and defender Andy Dawson.

Colchester midfielder Johnnie Jackson feels honoured to have been voted player of the year by the fans.
The 25-year-old endeared himself to the U's faithful by playing in every minute of every game and scoring seven goals.
He told BBC Essex: "It's extra special to be voted for by the fans, they've turned out every week to support us through difficult times this season.
"They've been fantastic, they haven't got on our backs at all when they might have done when we haven't performed."

Charlton Athletic have appointed Steve Waggott, the leader of the club's charitable trust, as their new chief executive officer.
The 53-year-old succeeds Peter Varney, who said in March he planned to leave Charlton at the end of the season.
Waggott told BBC London 94.9: "It's been one of my dreams to run a football club, it's a great opportunity.
"When Peter decided his tenure had come to an end after 11 fantastic years I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring"
Waggott added: "I have nothing but full admiration for the job Varney's done."

West Brom boss Tony Mowbray says his side want the Championship title after they drew with Southampton to all but clinch promotion to the Premier League.
With one game left, the Baggies are three points clear of third-placed Hull with a vastly superior goal difference.
Mowbray said: "It has been a long, hard season and we are almost there.
"But the players in the dressing room were already talking about winning the league - that was a strong feeling amongst them after the final whistle."

Watford manager Adrian Boothroyd has admitted his side let their fans down during Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by relegated Scunthorpe.
The Hornets have won just one of their last 13 matches and need to beat Blackpool on the final day to guarantee their place in the play-offs.
Boothroyd told BBC Three Counties Radio: "It's not their fault that we've lost eight games at home this season.
"They did their bit. That's not me being sycophantic, it's a fact."
