Davies throwing down gauntlet

Wolves strikers Jay Bothroyd and Jermal Johnson have been warned that they are under pressure to keep their places in the starting line up by a determined Craig Davies. Boss Mick McCarthy was delighted with the performance of Telford-based Davies when he brought him on for Bothroyd in the closing stages of Saturday's win over Colchester.

"At the moment I feel Jay and JJ are the best choice pairing up front and it's up to someone to dislodge them," McCarthy.

"Craig is training hard and did well when he came on against Colchester.

"It's good for everyone at the club to see a performance like that when subs come on. It's good for the fans and it puts pressure on those coming off when they see their replacement chasing people down."
