Clarets reserves produced arguably their best display of the season to win 5-2 at Wolves exactly a week after their woeful showing against Rotherham at Turf Moor.

Having witnessed the dramatic improvement in performance manager Ronnie Jepson is hopeful that it shows the players are willing to listen and learn.

"We talked about the Rotherham game before we played at Wolves," he said.

"To be honest, if we had started as slowly against the side Wolves put out as we had against Rotherham we would have been buried in the first ten minutes.

"But we didn't, we started well and the players responded to what we asked them to do.

"We have played well in other games before but when you take into account the quality of the opposition that might have been the best this season."

Once again it was a fairly young side that was put out with the midfield pair of Joel Pilkington and Andrew Waine coming from Terry Pashley's youth squad.

But they have shown on a number of occasions this season that they are capable of competing with more experienced opponents and they did so again at Wolves.

Waine was too old to play in either of the recent cup games that saw the Clarets youngsters well beaten by Tranmere and Manchester City and there is no doubt that his drive and industry were missed.

He also found the net for the first time at reserve level with a well taken goal on Wednesday night.

But the goal hero in midweek was Greece Under-21 striker Dimitri Papadopoulos.

It was against the same opponents that he netted his first goal in the famous claret and blue, the only goal when they met at Turf Moor.

This time he went two better with a stylish hat-trick that was completed with a penalty awarded after he was fouled.

Having had what looked like a clear penalty turned down against Rotherham, Jepson joked: "I think that must have been for the one the week before."

The reserves are back in action on Wednesday night when Lancashire neighbours Preston North End are the visitors to Turf Moor, kick off 7-15. Jepson will hope for another Wolves performance, not Rotherham!
