Weakened Wolves still up for the challenge, insists Jones

WOLVES boss Dave Jones insists the Carling Cup remains a top priority despite preparing to name a weakened side for tonight’s visit of Burnley.

Jones intends to rest some of the stars who engineered one of the Premiership’s great comebacks on Saturday to beat Leicester 4-3 after trailing 3-0 at half-time. And he is putting faith in his fringe players to continue the five-match unbeaten run which began with the second round success over Darlington last month.

Jones said: “This competition is as vital to us as any other. Nothing is better than winning games and if you lose the feeling is still the same no matter if it is in the Premiership, the Carling Cup or Europe.
