Cardiff manager hails veteran strikeforce

Last updated : 29 August 2007 By Daniel Elwes
England Under-21 winger Peter Whittingham scored the only goal of the game in the second round victory but Jones believes his veteran strike partnership will become a force as they become more familiar with each other.

"They are still two games away from flying, but we saw good runs and forward thinking off them," he insisted.

"They didn't score, but on another day they could have got a hat-trick each.

"The important thing was that they got 90 minutes each and they feel okay after it - although I think they'll be taking the lift not the stairs at the hotel!"
