QPR want to crash party warns Jones

Wolves go into the sell-out game needing a win to clinch promotion.

By contrast, managerless mid-table Rangers head into the clash with pride to play for under caretaker boss Gareth Ainsworth.

But the Loftus Road club came from behind to pip Sheffield Wednesday 3-2 last weekend and Jones reckons Wolves can't afford any slip-ups.

He said: "They will want to spoil the party and stop us going up – they won't want us to be promoted on the back of beating them."

The Hoops stand-in boss has given his side a license to attack when they come the league leaders, with the pressure of promotion or relegation off them.

Ainsworth said: ""I'll let the players go there and express themselves, because that's why we all love this game."

But the former Walsall loan winger acknowledges Rangers face a tough task.

He said: "They're top of the league for many reasons. They are a strong, powerful excellent footballing side who have goals all over the park, but we'll go there and give our all to get a victory."

Wolves were beaten more convincingly than the 1-0 scoreline suggests at Loftus Road in December, even though Jones went close with two free-kicks.

The midfielder admits the team must be better than that this time around.

He said: "QPR are a good side, but maybe they suffer from inconsistency. As a team, we didn't fire on all cylinders at their place and it was a game that we came away frustrated from.

"It felt like we hadn't really done ourselves justice and we came away frustrated after getting beat. Hopefully we can turn that around, because we owe them one."

Jones has picked up on the promotion vibe engulfing the area as Wolves close in on promotion.

But the 24-year-old insists Wolves must ignore the hype and prepare the same as they have for every other game, after putting Monday's see-saw 3-2 win at his former club Derby to the memory bank.

He said: "Going around the shops in the city, people have said how close we are and I can sense how excited they are.

"But we still have to approach the game in the same way as we have all the others. It's the business end of the week and our minds have gone from Monday's game and switched on to this one.

"We want to pick up maximum points so we can win it in style, because we've been up there at the top for so long and we want to finish the job off.

"We've still got a job to do and we can't get carried away by the carnival atmosphere, we have to treat it like any other game."
