Jones missed the first half of the season through injury

Wolves midfielder David Jones remains confident that they will survive in the top flight, despite a tough run-in.

Six of Wolves' remaining 10 games are away from Molineux, starting with a three successive road-trips to Burnley, Aston Villa and West Ham.

"I don't think we'll be afraid to go to the places we're going away from home," Jones, 25, told BBC WM.

"I'm sure we've displayed this season that we can play well and score goals away from home."

The former Manchester United player has benefited from manager Mick McCarthy's switch to 4-5-1, forming a three-man central midfield with skipper Karl Henry and January signing Adlene Guedioura.

"It's been working quite well, we just need to convert a few more goals," he noted after the narrow home defeat against Manchester United.

"I'm sure with performances like that in the remaining games of the season we will pick up points."

Jones has started the past seven Premier League games after recovering from a long-term knee problem, scoring the winner in the home game against Tottenham.
