Wolves v Doncaster Rovers: Preview
Published : 18 Jan 2011 13:16:03

Wolves skipper Karl Henry and central defender Jody Craddock will
return to the starting line-up after lengthy injury lay-offs for the FA
Cup fourth round replay with Doncaster at Molineux.
Midfielder Henry made his comeback after a two-month lay-off with a
knee injury as a substitute against Manchester City at Eastlands on
Saturday.
Craddock has been sidelined with a hip problem since mid-October.
Midfielder David Edwards is still unavailable with a hamstring
injury and full-back George Elokobi serves the second game of a
three-match ban.
McCarthy accepts staying in the Premier League is the priority but
wants to remain in the cup and build on Wolves' recent revival in terms
of performances and results.
He said: "We want to win. We all know getting into and staying in
the Premier League is worth so much money to the clubs that it has
diluted the FA Cup.
"There is no question about that but it is a game of football and
I'd love to still be in the FA Cup on Wednesday morning. I'm not giving
that up lightly. It is funny in the early rounds, people want to
protect a few players and are mindful of big games coming up.
"That is whether you are a newly-promoted team or one that wants to
stay in the league, or win the Premier League. Later on, it gets a bit
more important because it is still the best knockout trophy without any
shadow of a doubt.
This is still the best one."
Doncaster will be without new loan signing Matt Kilgallon.
Kilgallon made his debut on Saturday in the home defeat to Reading
after arriving on loan from Sunderland until the end of the season.
Another on-loan defender, Southampton's Joseph Mills, is doubtful
due to a knee injury that forced him out of Saturday's 3-0 defeat.
If Mills fails to make it George Friend will make his first start since
the win at Scunthorpe in mid-October, while O'Driscoll could be tempted
to recall right-back James Chambers to his back line and revert to a
4-4-2 formation.
Otherwise, O'Driscoll has no other new injury or suspension
problems as his side bid to reach the fourth round for the third
successive year.
