Owen Coyle believes his 'remarkable' team will come up against one of their toughest tests of the season this weekend this weekend.

The Clarets, facing their 43^rd game of a marathon campaign, are currently three points from the play-offs and with everything still to play for in a crucial phase of the season,

And Coyle has full faith in his players to deliver when it matters most.

"I've told them to make sure it's not a case of 'what if'' and I've stressed to them that these opportunities, particularly on the back of the Carling Cup, don't come around every season," insisted Coyle.

"I know that they are going to give me everything they've got and as a manager that sits comfortably with me, knowing that those players are giving everything they can for the football club.

"I think as a group of players they are remarkable. Everything they offer and in each and every training session, to do their best for the club.

"Those that don't play are disappointed, but they come off the bench to play their part and I have nothing but admiration for how they go about their job.

" I think the whole town should be proud of the players because they have - and will - continue to do their best for them for the remainder of the season."

Coyle, who revealed that Stephen Jordan will not be fit to face Wanderers, added: "It's an unbelievable effort from them all and that's what we need again now.

"We are focused on what we've got left in front of us and looking to take that hunger and use it as a motivation to try and win games against some tough opposition.

"It doesn't come any tougher than Wolves, but we'll be ready and give everything we've got to get those three points."

Burnley's enthralling season so far, including their impressive exploits in the Carling Cup, has seen expectations rise.

But the gaffer has urged his players to stick to the principles that have got them into the promotion mix, hailing a huge team effort from all concerned.

"The problem with football, with all due respect, is that supporters get carried away," he said.

"Burnley supporters will feel that they should be top of the Championship because we have been in the Carling Cup semi-final and we're still in the FA Cup.

"The balance between expectation and realism is there for everybody to see.

"Realistically we should have not got to this point, doing what we have already done.

"We should have not got to the semi-finals of the Carling Cup given the finances and everything else.

"What we know though is that we are starting to build a team which is work in progress."

He added: "I would have loved to have brought more players in the summer, but finances couldn't allow that.

"This group of players, the staff and supporters, are the ones who have done this all together - and because you've done so well and shown you're a good side then the expectation rises all the time.

"You could say we have made a rod for our own back, but we are quite happy to accept that.

"We also want people to know those lads are giving everything they've got. They are playing out of their skins for this football club and that should be recognised."
