Jones Wants Credit
For Substitutions

WOLVES Manager Dave Jones was upset that he got no credit for the two substitutions which changed the game at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.

Wolves Manager Dave Jones was starting to come under-pressure from the Wolves fans prior to this last week of football, but 7 points from a possible nine has helped install a little lost confidence in the Wolves boss.

Wolves Fans acted angrily when Wolves Striker Kenny Miller was taken off on the 68th minute mark, but Jones insisted it was due to an injury and was surprised by the reaction of the traveling sell-out support.

"..you get a bit of booing from your crowd because I have brought off my top scorer" said Jones

"But he's got a calf injury and a hamstring problem that he's had since the Brighton game."

Jones replaced the injured Kenny Miller with Dean Sturridge who grabbed the winner. At the same time Jones replaced Seol with Kevin Cooper who won the penalty for the Wolves equaliser and Jones was upset that he got no credit for the inspired double change.

"I thought my two substitutions did well today but you don't get any credit for it."

Cooper was later sent-off for a late tackle on Argyle full-back Gilbert, but Jones admitted that having not seen the incident, it was difficult to comment.

"I have not seen it but I spoke to Coops and he reckoned he got a touch on the ball and the lad has kicked him but until I see the video I can't really comment on it."
