Confident in Kenwyne

George Burley will have no worries about throwing Kenwyne Jones into today's game at Norwich despite the recent transfer speculation.
Jones has reportedly attracted bids from Derby and Sunderland but Burley has made it clear he wants to keep the striker and that the club do not need to sell.
The Trinidad and Tobago international has now shaken off the hamstring injury which ruled him out of the opening two games.
The only question mark is over his match fitness after missing much of pre-season with niggling injuries.
But if Burley does decide to play him at Carrow Road, he is confident Jones will not lose his focus.
He said: "I am sure it has been hard for Kenwyne with all this speculation but I have sat down with him and had a chat.
"I told him his time will come. He is still learning and in my opinion this is the best place for him to do that.
"He has only been a professional a short time and he really improved last season and that is why there is the interest in him.
"He has to concentrate on his football and I am sure he will do that. I want to keep him and I have told him that.
"He is now fully fit after his hamstring problem and he is looking very sharp. It is great to add him to today's squad and now he has to focus on that."
