McCarthy on Wolves defeat

Wolves manager Mick McCarthyWolves boss Mick McCarthy justified his decision to substitute new striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake by claiming the £1.5 million man was tired.

The decision to replace Ebanks-Blake was greeted by a chorus of boos as Wolves slipped to a 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace.

“The fans have not agreed with one or two of my substitutions lately, but I’m big enough and ugly enough to put up with that,” said McCarthy.

“Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had driven up and down the motorway twice from Plymouth and I thought he looked knackered. That is not the correct preparation.”

McCarthy claimed the scoreline was harsh on Wolves but admitted he was under pressure.

He added: “I don’t think the scoreline reflects the performance of the team given the amount of chances we had. But we contrived not to put the ball in the net.

“The best chance was carved out by us but we missed it.

“I’ve been here and seen this before and I know when things are not going well the manager’s decisions will be questioned.

“The grumbling doesn’t bother me but I don’t like it when it’s aimed at the players.

“It doesn’t help them play any better and they are still all working hard to turn things around for the club.

“We have got to stick together and make things change. Not hope that they do - make sure they do.”

    trite comments from a trite manager

    How many more times Mick?If you play players out of position when you have the right players available and play defensive so the strikers have to run into their own area to fetch the ball-you will struggle to create chances.We are clueless and embarrasing.You’ve managed to knock the confidence out of players you’ve signed,taking Ebanks-Blake off when you did wasn’t great.Its no wonder the strikers are off the pace when they are covering the ground you are asking them to.Watch the Albions performance v Hull,the right players in the right positions playing with confidence.If we don’t change tactics and instill some confidence soon,we will be facing relegation.MORGAN ACT NOW!!!

    Usual rubbish from this idiot Muppet, how much longer do we have to put up with this . Sack him NOW otherwise could be automatic relegation. As for S.Ward & CO get rid of them too. THIS IS A DISGRACE!!!

    I don’t believe this! I’ve just posted this on the match report page and I thought I was being satirical.

  10. Norway Wolf said:

    OK, it’s all the fans fault. How did we know that was coming?

    Think I’ll go away and cut my throat, or there again I might not.

    There is just the incy-bity-ist chance that MM does not have the faintest idea of what he is doing, and he is just staying here to get his dismissal compensation.

    Personally, I think that even Glenda was better than this clueless management specimen.

    NEVER BEFORE IN THE ANNULS OF HUMAN SOCCER HAS SO LITTLE, GOT SO FAR!

    Also, contemplate. A CEO who has appointed managerial failure after managerial failure. Sanctioned failed transfer after failed transfer. But somehow old Teflon shoulders stays in there. How much longer can this farce continue?

  11. Richwwfc said:

    Still a crap result though!

    seriously, he is going to do the same with ebanks-blake that he did with eastwood, he was one of our best players today and he took him off!! Why the hell is neill collins playing, he is the worse player that we have and costs us loads of games and nearly the albion game!! why can everbody see these things but mcarthy.!!!!!

    where too from here then….no kightly signals defeat….hope edwards is as good as kightly

  23. Steve Bull Stand said:

    Wolves invested in Eastwood and Jarvis in the summer, excellent signings. Now another good signing in Ebanks Blake.
    But still the likes of Bothroyd and Ward are the ones that get to start. And when we need a goal he takes off the man we have spent £1.5million on to score goals.
    No point giving this guy any more of our money to spend he will stick with the same old same old. Whats the alternative? Scoring goals and winning football matches? We can’t be having that now can we Mick. You will be talking next about entertaining the fans!
    Palace took the plunge and changed their manager and have got one that keeps his team attacking even when they are 1-0 up. He clearly doesn’t know what he is doing does he Mick.

  24. wolves-booboy said:

    I was up at 6pm, been out driving all day, im tired aswell, but i keep going, like most of us, if he cant play a full game, why buy him ?

  25. james said:

    Change the record Mick. Its been useless for the entire season. Your decisions are poor and are made entirely through your own stubborness to agree with the fans.

    Ward, Left wing? Jesus … The new Giggs eh!

    Rather paint a fence then watch the Wolves at the moment.

  26. wolvessince66 said:

    Thanks Mick I am a lot happier now you have explained the defeat. I knew there was something not right but now you have told me what it was thats okay. What a load of twaddle, does he think we are thick or what.

    I smell a P45. Keep up the excuses and build up to blaming someone else but yourself Mick

  31. mr balls said:

    sorry mick. not buying that.

    he slept in wolverhampton friday night and travelled early on friday morning.

    im not buying the “tired” line. a fit man in his early 20’s in a luxury car can handle a 4-5 hour drive… if he can’t then how can he handle a 4 hour training session?

  32. bikerwolf said:

    I’m sorry to say this Mick but that is another ridiculous contradiction your part, one minute your justifying playing ebanks then saying he was knackered, Do you think you should have played him? Sounds like your head is clouded by desperation. Come on man I had hope when you came to this club, Think!

  33. Bernard said:

    So Macarthy thought Ebanks-Blake ‘looked tired, knackered’.I’ve watched the player for all the time he was at Plymouth, so nothing has changed, if he loses out in a tackle he either appeals to the officials that he was hard done by, or gives up winning the ball back. I’m afraid dear Wolves fans he is of a lazy disposition and that the £1.5M your club paid will probably turn out to be poor value.I wish your ‘in crisis’ club a rosy future, which I shall watch from Home Park with interest, Plymouth I believe are also approaching a mini-crisis.

  34. Cov Baggie said:

    Same Old,Same Old..as a baggies fan I honestly feel for you lot,
    I think the time is right for him to go and give someone else a chance before the season is a complete wash out.Tactics,Team selection,Player positions = JOKE
    We want ALL Midland teams to do well. Boing Boing

  35. Dudzie Wolf said:

    “Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had driven up and down the motorway twice from Plymouth and I thought he looked knackered. That is not the correct preparation.”

    I thought we were a big club? What was he doing driving up and down from Plymouth everyday, collecting things? Should we not have organised that for him? If he was so knackered then he should have started on the bench or not at all and Freddie should have started. Bothroyd needs to be dropped for ever and Keogh too should have statred as should have Jarvis who was actualy very good today when he came on. S Ward should never have started but I suppose he like Bothroyd is so far far up McCarthy’s back side that he just cannot think of leaving them out for a change. Mick must GO

  36. Jim Bodley said:

    Am I the only one who could see this coming? We buy players for pittance last season and make do with free signings but still expect to make the play offs this season based on the last 5 months of last years campaign. WHY? We can all argue about micks selections and players playing out of position and chopping and changing of stikers but ultimately bar 3/4 players we have a VERY average squad. The latest signings merely add to the numbers NOT i’m afraid the quality.

    As for todays performance i’ve just got this to say. If Blake had been driving up and down the motorway between Wolves and Plymouth what on earth was ahem ’super’ mick doing picking him from the start against palace. I’m not surprised he was knackered. Perhaps bringing him on at half time for one of our other inept strikers would have been a more sensible option!!

  37. nathan the nice1wolf said:

    i was at the same game and watched the same player`s giving lame ass performances!! why oh why do we still play them???.. mick gets paid to chose we boo when they let him down and us down and them selves.. when he gets sacked they`ll still be here and so will we so stop sticking up for the under achieving muppets!! play a left mid at left mid and jarvis on the right!! potter and gibson don`t impose on other team`s nor do any of our mid`s on the book!! how many through ball`s come from centre play??? none for us!!.. it`s alway`s side ways and back!! we loved you mick for your honesty but honesty and stuborness are miles apart as are you and our loyal support!! ALWAYS WOLVES!!

  38. frome town wolf said:

    what a load of tosh, tired going up and down the motorway, i travel from the other side of bath every game, sometimes twice a week when we have home games, getting home at 1.0am then going to work at 6am in midweek followed by home game sat, thats bloody tired!!! mick im fed up with your ludicrous comments.

  39. Wiganwolf said:

    Weak excuses from a manager who has lost the plot.

    McCarthy claimed the scoreline was harsh on Wolves - Heard it before and the score line never lies we are rubbish

    We contrived not to put the ball into the net - You pick the team and for gods sake bin Bothroyd. lazy useless and thinks he is something special.

    We cannot continue as we are. Relegation form and cannot score a goal. Morgan get him out of here

  40. John said:

    I am and always have been against any so called “fans” getting at players or the Manager, it only makes things worse and plays into the hands of the other side, but PLEASE if our new star striker/ player is tired after driving to Plymouth twice then God help us and our manager, giving this as his excuse for taking him off is beyond belief. Perhaps his new car is the £1200 Tata I wish!!!, or should it be tata to all of these so called footballers and managers who are rewarded for failure.
    Where do we go from here? Having followed the Wolves for 40 years and have kept hoping year after year , I have now finally run out of hope. It is never going to happen for us.

    “The grumbling doesn’t bother me but I don’t like it when it’s aimed at the players.

    “It doesn’t help them play any better and they are still all working hard to turn things around for the club.

    Unfortunately Mick, fans complaining about the players comes with the territory - and the players should be able to cope with it. After all playing for Wolves comes with a big responsibility, as well as a big pay packet. The players represent the fans, the town, and the legacy of Stan Cullis, and on a day when the great man was featured on the cover of the matchday programme, the efforts of the players on the pitch, with one or two exeptions (Michael Gray was one of the few who actually looked upset by the scoreline)were found somewhat wanting.

  43. mossman said:

    Super Mick
    You don’t know what you are doing!
    It was not only the fact that you were taking off the man who has scored more goals than anybody on the pitch today It was because you did not take off our lazy number 10 who has not scored for hours! Get it sorted Mick Both Wards, too slow and can’t pass, Henry very poor form and Jay lazy. These players should not be in the team. Give Jarvis and Freddy a run in the team and if you need a left winger play Gray.

  44. wyrley wolves said:

    thats the problem mick - you have been there before with all the grumbling because your used to watching your teams loosing .its not something that we want to get used to thou . also excuse on blake was feeble - tired my arse , not used to your negative system more like .

  45. wolvessince66 said:

    I don’t like Bothroyds attitude, he does not do himself any favours. His play is poor. He goes down to easily and appears to be a wimp. But I do not agree to booing the player. I t is down to the manager for playing him. BLAME MM HE IS THE WORSE MANAGER AT WOLVES FOR AGES.

  46. quality counts said:

    My goodness now the clown comes up with a new excuse :

    “Ebanks-Blake by claiming the £1.5 million man was tired.”

    Yes right, I drive thousands of miles and have a presentation to do… come on MM, just get your ass out of there, stop making stupid excuses, like the majority of fans “WE HAVE HEARD ENOUGH CRAP FROM YOU”

    We aren’t aiming stuff at the players BOZO, its you Mick McCarthy our worthless manager who is to blame.

  47. SK, Shanghai said:

    It is plain for all to see that MM tactics is questionable and the results do not lie! What we need is to have a team of good quality backroom staff to mould the current crop of exciting players (most are in their early 20s) and maybe next season we are up for it.

    This season is a write off now.

    We should build the team around - Murray/Hennessey, Foley, Henry, Kighty, Jarvis, Ebanks-Blake, Eastwood etc.

  48. wandering_wolf said:

    How about instead of blethering on, you apologise to the people who pay that amount of money each week? That’s all of you - Mick McCarthy, Jez Moxey, Steve Morgan, and every player who has worn a Wolves shirt since December?

    I feel sorry for the people of Wolverhampton - my birth town - who love and are passionate about their club. So much promise, every week. Promises that for decades have been broken.

  49. Tamworth Wolf said:

    I have always been a big fan of MM, for the 1st time we had a straight forward honest manager who told it like it is.

    Last season we had a small squad who gave 110% a team built from young players coming through our youth policy.

    Players like Little, Hennessey, Jones and Gobern all impressed at various stages. We played with energy, pace and a fair amount of style and very often we where successful, to finish 5th did not flatter us.

    When MM took over there where a lot of similarities between us and the Sunderland team MM took over and like us he got them in the play offs in his 1st season, in his second MM’s Sunderland won the championship fairly comfortably and to be honest I half expected the same for us this season.

    I cant believe the difference from this season to last season, last season played players in position there was balance in the team and we created loads of chances. This season we are playing players out of position, creating next to nothing, playing poor football, and not winning football matches.

    I used to think and still do think that our academy was one of the best kept secrets in the country, all the pundits raved about Arsenal, Man U and Wet Hams academies, but look at some of the quality we have produced Keane, Lescott, Murray, Hennessey to name but a few, Gobern, Gleeson, Little and Dan Jones came through last season, why are they being given a chance this season.
    Why is Mark Davies not even in the squad when fit surely he would have made a difference in recent weeks.

    MM is being loyal to the wrong players (Bothroyd, Collins etc) and our season is seriously in danger of ending in disaster.

    Mick take your blinkers off and consider playing the young players who did so well for us last season, play players in position, play football we did last season, play with at least one winger, consider Mark Davies or Denes Rosa when fit.

    Lat season was a pleasure to watch, but this season has been poor and uninspiring.

    Yesterday on this blog I wrote I wanted you to go but history suggests sacking you might not necessarily be the solution. We need continuity and long term stability. I have always believed whoever gets it right will see how big and successful this club can be, we have the financial backing, stadium, training and academy facilities and most importantly a fan base a lot of clubs can only dream of, some fans think because of these things we have a divine right to be successful we dont. Last season I felt this was the start of something special, however the events of this season has caused me to change that view.

    Mick have a long hard think this week how you are going to turn things around we are currently stand at a crossroads we can go one of two ways, mid table mediocrity in the championship or you drag this club kicking and screaming back into play off contention, hopefully we will choose the latter.

  50. Hartlebury Wolf Man said:

    Is the picture final proof of MM’s dementure, as he joins in with the Wolves fans, screaming “McCarthy Out”?

  51. Tamworth Wolf said:

    Mick its simple, play players in position, play players who create and realise 15 or 16 players you choose from are not doing it.

    Give the likes of Mark Davies, Lewis Gobern, Steven Gleeson, Denes Rosa a chance.

    Bring back Mark Little and Dan Jones from their loan spells.

    Start playing football, not hoofing the ball aimlessly long.

    Last season you where creative and open to change, what has changed this season.

    You have undone a lot of the good work you and the team did last season, despite what a lot of fans think this season is not lost there is a lot of football to play this season.

    Please Please sort it out and quick or you will be another failed manager here at Wolves

  52. wolf said:

    MM you are the only manager we’ve had at Wolves that has directed criticism at an individual player in the media so why don’t you like it when the fans aim it at the players, we pay yours and their wages!

    YOU HYPOCRITE

    DO US A FAVOUR AND RESIGN

  53. cashy coseley said:

    when the substitutions were being made the south bank initially cheered as we thought jay boothroyd was being susbtituted so the booing was part to do with ebanks blake being taken off but also that mick had left boothroyd on the pitch.

    Its only aimed at the players who you appear to think are good and are clearly not! S Ward, D Ward, D Potter, K Henry, J Bothroyd, D Gibson, give the kids a go please!
    Last chance saloon Mick, this is relegation form.

  57. Bemused Wolf said:

    I really am bemused now. Is it the same idiots who were chanting Supermick early in the season who have now taken to booing our players on the pitch? We have too many players who now totally lack confidence and booing is making matters worse. Take it out on MM he is the one who has caused this. Remember Sunderland’s last Premier season when MM stood on the sidelines looking like a rabbit staring into oncoming headlights. Well de ja vu everybody ! He should never have been appointed in the first place.Ince was the man for the job. Plenty still out there. How about Mike Newell ?

  58. Goody said:

    Only one thing can save our season now, simply sack Mick. He is now left wanting with players who clearly dont enjoy his inept tactics!

  59. si said:

    You knew it wasn’t the right preparation yet you still started with him?? And he wonders why us supporters continuelly boo he weird decisions!!!

    We’ve apparently got 6 strikers now, can you tell me why 3 of them can’t score from around the six yard box?? They aren’t strikers MM, they are wastes of space.

    If MM doesn’t give FE a run then there is seriously something up, the bloke tried his heart out out when he came on.

    I think the sands of time of running out for Mick. I like the bloke but this run of results aint gonna help & I just wander how long SM’s patience will keep??

  60. big rich wolves said:

    Not good enough mick you should have turned it around by now,their must be somethink wrong with your training formula.When does it start to improve,it,s the feelings of thousands of wolves fans,other teams have the same problems but pull it round quicker than this.

  61. rollercoasta said:

    i posted on here yesterday that a new striker would make no difference at all and how right i was. This team is heading only one way and another away defeat and we are in for a relegation battle. It is awful to watch and McCarthys comments stagger me , abiut Blake, he had to fravel up and down the motorway ? he looked teriffic in training but today he looked leggy ? , what an absolute load of rubbish!! He had no service at all and was simply put up front and expected to get on to long punts up field. How is ward playing week in and week out ?. When Jarvis came on there was an instant change but that was forced on mcCarthy due to Gibsons injury. For gods sake Mr Morgan get shut of him now before its to late, we have no chance at all of promotion and that is obvious, we are now officially the lowest scorers in the league and its sad to say but we are in a no better position than when hoddle was here, at least we TRIED to play football, please please change the manager and dont allow freddied eastwood to go to norwich, that would be a travisty, under a proper manager playing the right system we have a good team here but it aint going to change as long as that idiot is manager !

    Desperate times. Season is over unless we get into a relegation battle and our current form is just that. Just glad I am not Nathan, his next blog should be interesting. How can anyone but an idiot send a young man out on his home debut ‘knackered’? Last thirty minutes might have made some sense, now his confidence, just like Freddy’s is shattered. I looked back last night over our results for the season and we are extremly lucky not to be in the bottom three. Mr. Morgan please step forward and do what any decent CEO has to do and replace the Manager. Promotion has gone now so let’s give a new face a few months to work with what we have and spend the summer rebuilding.

  64. wimblebury wolf said:

    do us all a favour and p*** off.Fed up of all your excuses and your “im it” attitude. Morgan man or mouse, sort it out now, the season has gone, use the rest to bed in a manager (Sam Allardyce) who knows what he is doing ready for the next season which hopefully will be in the championship? Roy Keane you were so right.

  65. norfolk wolf said:

    Worrying stats are that more than half SEB’s goals this season have come from penalties and now he gets tired after a bit of driving,
    Seven “strikers” MM has bought to Molineux and we still can’t score. Norwich were bottom in Nov and now are 6 points behind us’ time for the squeaky trousers.

    WORRYING

    McCarthy: “Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had driven up and down the motorway twice from Plymouth and I thought he looked knackered. That is not the correct preparation.”

    McCarthy thought he looked knackered! You know what this means, SEB was not putting in a shift, give MM and the backroom a few weeks and they will have SEB full of energy and enthusiasm.

    Unfortunately as a direct result of this absurd need to chase everyone and everything regardless of the ball’s position on the pitch, SEB will no longer be waiting up front for a through ball, he will no longer be anticipating a pass from which to score. Instead he will be running around like a headless chicken, without intention and no longer the goal threat he has been (another Elliot).

    Please Mick, SEB was not tired from a couple of car journeys, he was just doing what he knows best. Waiting, anticipating, getting ready to score!

  68. FrenchWolf said:

    I have decided to make a soap from Wolves Football Club.
    We now have a new signing who could go to jail as per Coronation Street, a manager who does about as much work as they do in the Bra factory and a team of mis-fits.
    If the situation at Wolves were not so serious, this would be quite funny.
    How long can this rubbish persist?

  69. Soopa Stylin' said:

    Mick has the squad to get us into the play offs but he keeps picking the wrong starting line up. He baffles me. Hopefully he can get it right asap - play jarvis, keogh, SEB and
    eastwood - sell s ward - buy pacy defenders - sort out midfield. I hope it is not beyond him.

    HE’S NOT THE MESSIAH, HE’S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY!

  73. Stephen Mark Foster said:

    I know its tough for MM to say something new about another poor performance.However he is to blame as his team selection at the start of play was so negativeand lacked any genuine creative or wide player.

    This resulted in another pass and hoof first half which created very little until the forced introduction of Jarvis who immediately created an opening.

    The big difficulty for me is 1 paid £116.00 for 4 tickets and IMHO failed to see any football from us until the second batch of substitutions. MMs negative approach and persistance in playing
    certain favourites is going to cost him his job and us promotion. We have the squad, just tactics and style of play this year has been Hoddlesque at best and i gave up my 4 season tickets when he was still in place as i watch Wolves and expect to be entertained not bored senseless by hoof it or pass it back and sideways football with no penetration.

    I agree with the moans at the match being out of order but when you watch for example Elliott fail to control the ball up front time after time and watch our attacks breakdown what are your options when the Manager has rose tinted spectacles and has definetely lost his wand.

    Mick back to basics no more players playing out of position and play Eastwood our only genuine striker who was on fire until you changed the way he has to play to suit your team!

    The club has a big problem, under normal cicumstances m/m would be sacked.But is there any manager around who would accept the postition NO , Same situation with players, the club has no cash available to bring a team together to get into the premiershipin in the first place, and retain its position,I think not.I have supported this club since 1 was 11 years old in 1947, and will continue to do so, but boy, this Wolves side is testing my patience. there is no quick fix,but lets start on Monday morning, and turn it all around and make the club it once was dudleyman.

    The man’s an absolute IDIOT! Clueless in EVERY department - No TACTICS whatsoever

    Now he’s having a pop at the fans for putting “pressure” on the players? The majority of boos and disquiet are ALL aimed at you McCarthy NOT the players!

    We’ve said it many times before - You could give McCarthy the entire Man Ure squad and he would single handedly turn them into gibbering wrecks within days and weeks!!!

    Most of the Wolves squad could do with a very very long permanant break away from this man

    If SM keeps faith with this idiot, he’s going to have to get rid of nearly everyone of the existing squad BEFORE he can appoint a decent manager - as this lot will be so negative that they will only be able to remove furniture for a living

    C’mon Happy Clappers Lets all hear you make bigger pratts of yourselves - You know - In MM we trust - Keep the Faith Blah Blah - He turned it around against the mighty Cambridge - You lot ARE as big a joke as your saviour MM

    WE NEED TO GET RID OF THIS IDIOT FAST - JEZ MOXEY HIT THE PANIC BUTTON WHEN HE THOUGHT THAT MM WOULD BE GOING TO S KOREA - MOXEY DOES IT AGAIN - ANOTHER PRATT THAT SHOULD BE PACKING HIS BAGS AS MOXEY GAVE MM A BETTER CONTRACT INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR A REAL MANAGER!!! THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND

    MM & M OUT MR MORGAN GET RID BEFORE THIS SEASON IS WELL & TRUELY OVER!!!

    er… the A-League guys travel up to 6000km each week to play. Some live within the 3 or 4 hundred kilometre radius of their home town. I know the standard is lower but it was 34 celsius and 85% humidity tonight and Qld and Sydney still played a tough competitive game( witness Michael Bridges, Juninho, Craig Moore and Danny Tiatto). The English competetion players are on higher wages with better training facilities and better systems all round. This is an absolutely BS excuse. Utter tosh. sincerely yours Losing Faith (which I am not known for)

    Mick, last 8 winless league games, common factor - Bothroyd 611 minutes of football, 7 starts, 0 goals. Last 5 full starts and 90 minutes for Eastwood - 4 wins and a draw - it’s not rocket science Mick, actually think you are good for the club but your insistence on Bothroyd will get you the boot.

    Having followed the Wolves for the best part of my life, and having spent thousands over the years on season tickets etc etc, i feel that i have a right to voice my opinion, at the players and or manager. I certainly do not get paid thousands a week as do the majority of our current first team. The simpkle fact is that the game is run through ££ and the players i feel do not put the most into the club or the games week in week out. MM should be sacked or leave…NOW…and the players should start being men and play to earn their huge wage. I work ten times harder than any one of those players and do not earn a fraction of what they do in a WEEK!!That is not their fault, what i am suggesting is that if i were to be offered the money they are on, i would certainly put in ten times the effort, and not put it down to being tired or having played too many games that week…rubbish..

  86. B&Gwolf said:

    Ooh he’s tired, bless. Well give him a rest till his court case comes up. Why have we bought him anyway. I thought we were looking for a big strong centre forward to give us some presence not another midget who is never going to get hold of a pass from our defence. Your comments are utterly mad Mick, you are supposed to judge a player’s fitness to play before he gets on the pitch. Why can the whole population of our fair town see that Ward and Henry are not wingers and Jarvis is. I have tried to be patient but you seem absolutely clueless as to what to do. You simply cannot play Ward on the wing anymore.. Buy someone in midfield who can pass a ball to feet in a forward direction and is prepared to run on. We are all fed up now because the answers are in the team selection and tactics and we are not being paid your big salary to work it out

    I remember just before he got sacked from Sunderland. They’d just lost again and he was asked why the team were so bad. He simply shrugged, looked bewildered and said, “what can I say?”

    There’s a man BIG ENOUGH AND UGLY ENOUGH to cope with Wolves fans as he stated yesterday.

    I’m sick of the sight of him and the mention of his name inspires terrible feelings within me.
    Please send him on his way Mr. Morgan.

  90. Andywolves, Cannock said:

    No wonder the baggies fans laugh at the intelligence of some of our fans! I was so angry at the boos aimed at some of our players yesterday most notably Jay bothroyd. For you fans who want to boo do me a favour and go and throw your tickets away and go and boo in the car park. It’s not going to improve players performances by booing. No wonder we get a bad name for being fickle! The fans who are calling for Mick’s head now are the same fans who were singing his name just nine games ago. You bunch of muppets! Go and glory hunt at Man Utd if your not happy watching Wolves. We are going through a bad spell but REAL fans stick by their team no matter what. Now you lot of knockers either shut up or ship out we don’t want you!

    Although the players keep backing Mick in the press, I think they don’t respect him anymore and know he will be gone before they are. They just seem clueless, lacklustre and almost bored of playing football. I think it would take a fantastic manager to turn this round and MM is not fantastic. If he proves me wrong i’ll be first to praise his abillity but I can’t see it.

  96. decca said:

    read a few comments on here anf felt a response.
    1, Bothroyd has talent but no workrate.S Ward has graft but no skill at this level. Darren Ward cannot direct a header back up the park, and for some reason, the bulk of the team cannot play a forward incisive pass, only sideways. We need a settled front line. Blake up front with freddy behind him, playing Jarvis, would see results, but the problem lies not having a proper bloke in midfield, maybe Edwards will make a difference. Mick, is a good manager as proved last year playing our kids, but this favoiurite set ofg players will get you out of this job at the end of the season Mick. 12th at best.

  97. adeyp said:

    Muppet Mick is insulting our inteligence now, why does he insist on keep playing Jay Bothroyd and Steven Ward? who he says is the find of his managerial career “WHAT”. Bring back Dan Jones.
    MM has destroyed Freddy Eastwoods and Matt Jarvis confidence and he will do the the same with Eubanks Blake.
    I have had a season ticket for 17 years but I ripped it up after Saturdays debarcle and will not return untill either Mcarthy and Moxey are sacked or we win the champions league, which ever happens first i`ll take it.

  98. jezsedgley said:

    Is it me, or as it gone tits up since Taff left through illness?

    Does MM need a strong character to bounce ideas off / someone brave enough to tell him he’s wrong? - I’m not quite sure if Terry O’Connor is stroppy enough. So would another coach help? - or am I clutching at straws?

    I still have faith in MM - but something’s wrong somewhere at the moment.

  99. SUPERSTARDJWOLVES said:

    All these fans saying,, “In Mick we Trust”, Super Mick, blah blah blah,,, I hope you all realise who stupid your comments must read now. We Lost 0-3 at home. we are poor, 4 pts out of a possible 36, that is relegation form, Steve Morgan, call a press conference, sack Mick, and O’Connor and sick note and bring in the Guv to save our season or at least show passion, drive and committment which we are seriously lacking!

    The next time to want to see Bothroyd is on cold midweek game at the new bucks head in the reserves!

    try sitting in our seats mick, then you will see just how bad bothroyd is. semms he doesent wanna mix it and get stuck in,i found out why, maybe this means he wont be able to drive that big bentley home if he gets hurt sell him get what u can.try ebay i will start the bidding at £ 2-50 cud do with my drive swept.

  105. Steve Bull Stand said:

    If SEB needs a lift anytime let me know. Good idea to spend £1.5m then not buy him a train ticket or pay for a chauffeur if driving was a wee bit tiring.
    If he really was knackered why start him? Same thinng as Keogh recently when he was took off cause he wasn’t fit. Why start players that aren’t fit to play.
    Also congrats Mick on knackering Kightly by rushing him back to save you from the sack by losing to Cambridge.
    From a manager that said it how it is and brought a breath of fresh air last season we now have a guy that can’t talk sense to save his life.
    Any chance our chairman might share his opinion on how its all going?

  106. Contrarian Wolf said:

    83 comments so far and only one backing MM. But week-in, week-out money paying football fans are always taken for granted so this not-so-silent majority doesn’t matter in the slightest in terms of whether he stays or goes.

    We’re stuck with him for this season. FACT. Morgan would not have sanctioned 2.2m of his hard earned if he was planning to sack him before the end of the season. That is one hell of a chuck out of our annual cashflow.

    The main problems, aside from the team being low in confidence and form at the moment, do tend to relate to the manager. Mick seems to believe that everyone has it in for him. That’s not the case Mick - you must learn to live without that self-placed chip on your shoulder. It’s not big and it’s not clever. Most people boo at the situation (being outplayed at the Molineux by an “inferior” side and not making the changes in tactics required to recover) not the individuals - your constant tripe of how you wish fans would moan at you and not at players is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to turn players against the fans. You are employed by WWFC and handsomely paid. Stop working for Mick McCarthy plc.

    You can’t help but feel that this was a ready made excuse in case we lost. Sure there have been moans and groans towards certain players not putting in the effort or simply not having the quality. If we pay c.500K for someone that is dross whilst we have a player come through the youth system in the same position that then gets farmed out to a lower division team then that’s your fault.

    Daniel Jones, for example, looked interesting last season on the left side of midfield. This is not a cheap pop at Ward but if you pay money for players that can’t do better (especially if you’re playing them out of position) then you, as the decision maker has cocked up. Just like you did when you sent Jody on loan and, lo-and-behold, once the South Bank piped up with the “One Jody Craddock” song, you brought him back. His reappearance in the Gold and Black, as opposed to the colours of a side that was always going to be one of our rivals for promotion/play off spots this season, coincided with our good, if somewhat fortunate, run this season.

    Our best run last season coincided with Henry reverting to right back, Edwards playing centre half (his best position) with Breen out and Jackie Mac at left back. That meant not playing two defensive midfielders. We could play a variety of 4-3-3 and 4-2-4 with McIndoe and Kightly as the wide men. Sides worried when we attacked them; fans were entertained.

    This season can best be summed up as an attempt by the manager to rid himself of demons and prove that he’s half the manager he thinks he is (which would equate to twice the manager that most footballing people think he is). He’s failed miserably - and to try and cover this up, he’s blaming the fans. His interview on MOTD after coming from behind to win a cup tie at home by an 88th minute winner against a non-league side was embarrassing. No praise for a side some 86 places or so below us - instead more diatribe about how the world is against him. Not WWFC but MM. Contrast that with the comments from the previous game shown on MOTD and the noble comments from a certain Dave Jones - who has a right to have a chip on his shoulder following the way he was treated in his past.

    We’re stuck with him, we might scrape through the playoffs. He’s probably done enough to encourage Kites to sign for the first prem team to come in for him next summer. And possibly Hennessey. We’ll mostly be at the Mol, god willing, in 10 years time. MM will be spouting the same crap somewhere else - still blaming the world for his shortcomings.

  107. scotwolf said:

    this is some ot the worst football i can ever remember wolves playing.

    from the start of the season we have been waiting and expecting the team to kickstart their season and go on a run of winning games, each week it doesn’t happen and we go well maybe next game, but we are now in january and it hasn’t happened. i feel now its not going to and if anything we could be drawn into a relegation battle.

    the problems in the team have been obvious to everyone again from the start of the season.
    1/picking favourites who frankly aren’t good enough.
    2/no tactics or creative ideas, formations etc
    3/playing players out of position
    4/micks man mangement i.e eastwoods treatment and now latest signing SEB
    5/loaning out our good young homegown talent and let them relace our underperformers.
    6/buying quantity not quality/experience

    i could go on with loads more and without kightly, hennesey and the games we have scraped a win in we would be in real trouble. i think now we are the leagues lowest scorers why? it must be to do with mick and his backroom teams methods. he honestly seems to have no idea how to turn it around and solve the problems. mick has to go now asap.

    the likes of s.ward, bothroyd, collins and others shouldbe moved on

    B&T again i agree with everything you’ve said.

  108. PAUL SPINKS said:

  114. zoff2304 said:

    Well what to say. Again I go to Molineux hoping to see this team turn things around and again I’m left feeling disappointed & frustrated. I don’t believe they can, but I hope I’m wrong. These players should feel very embarassed and should all publicaly apologise to the fans for their inept performances this season. They are making our club a laughing stock, not just in the Midlands with our local rivels, but throughout the entire football community. Other clubs are laughing at us and come here knowing they can play with the minimum of effort and walk away with the points.

    When is MM gonna realise that Collins is completely out of his depth. I’m sick of watching this guy balls things up all the time. Yet again we see him give away a sloppy free kick which leads to us conceeding a goal. Bothroyd should just be sacked full stop. He is a complete disgrace as a “professional” footballer.

    The whole team should be docked their wages after this game. Having said that I think the only one who played well was Jarvis and why oh why MM does not play him every game is completely beyond me.

    good job seb doesnt have job like many other normal people and have to commute to work, i mean several thousand people travel london and back on daily basis. but because seb travelled up and down plymouth couple times he has to be withdrawn.

    potter and gibson is a so called prem midfield haha

    please get clueless mick out 5m on strikers yet one cant score 9-10 strikers at club yet none can score

  116. K'ford ex Gornal said:

    Open letter to Mr Morgan.

    Dear Steve

    Enough is enough, the facts speak for themselves.

    Here’s just a few in no particular order: -

    1.Craddock booted out to Stoke, taken back and made captain
    2. Eastwood purchased £1.5m not given a run in the side, now a bit part substitute
    3. Elliot purchased £1.2m too slow, lightweight not even in the squad on Saturday
    4. Gibson poor has made no improvement to the team. He actually is so similar to and is actually worse than Potter who cost £500,000 and made his first appearance of the season on Saturday
    5. Potter see above
    6. S Ward arrived as centre forward but hasn’t played there for ages and is played out of position in place of Jarvis. He is slow and unimaginitive and has not scored a goal for ages
    7. D Ward limited but dogged. £700,000 doesn’t seem to get you a lot these days. Fell foul to fickle management by being dumped within weeks of arriving
    8. Jarvis purchased for £650,000 but appears not to know where to play. If he was bought to replace Mcindoe he hasn’t and looks better playing on the right in Kightly’s position????
    9. Young players who made an impression last year (out of necessity) have been ousted callously and replaced by poor quality additions eg Gray (although he is willing he is a defensive aberation) What must the likes of Little, Jones, Gleeson, Gobern, Davies be thinking?
    10. Rosa was scoring goals for fun in the reserves earlier in the season when goals in the first team have been as rare as rockin horse doo da and he has been nowhere near a squad
    11. The style of play is tedious consisting of give it to Collins hoist it over the centre back, watch their goalkeeper collect it. How much longer do we have to put up with such dull, unimaginitive tactics?
    12. Bothroyd, by the Manager’s own admission was on his way out earlier this year is now the primary striker despite looking lethargic, slow and just plain hopeless
    13. The team is built in the managers image.. dour, stubborn, boring, 23 goals scored in 27 league games is a hanging offence in my view.
    14. I could go on all bloody day but I got to do some work

    So the question is, what to do..

    Here’s some thoughts: -

    McCarthy has now set in motion the sacking cycle by criticising the fans. This will turn them against him vocally. The pressure will be on the board to sack him which they will do. A new manager will be appointed and the cycle will repeat. One constant feature has been the CEO who has presided over a catalogue of failure and under-achievement. The time has come to change the man at the helm too Steve…. Molineux expects otherwise all those well earned millions from the Redrow years will be wasted and a period of waste, decay and cutback will ensue.

    There’s a clamour for Ince, a movement for Alladyce but frankly I don’t have a clue who the manager should be.. that’s your job and I expect you to get it right otherwise you can join the failure brigade who have come and gone just recently and left us the laughing stock (along with Newcastle)of the football world.

    So Steve, be brave, be decisive and most of all be right as I’m sick of being a Wolves fan at the moment and even worse, so is my 9 year old boy who thinks booing at football matches is normal. He’s the future and represents your target market for years to come. Football is meant to be entertainment so take a word of advice (unsolicited I realise) and get rid of the grey one along with your under achieving CEO and really make a difference.

    Good luck and by the way me and my nipper will still be there.

    Yours

    Dopey and Stupid ;-P

    Paul Ince will wont a promotion on his CV aswell as a lower cup win. I bet you that the guv will prob tell wolves to stick it as he was overlooked by Moxey for the safe option of MM.

    Look at Niall Quinn, he was ridculed last season about taking on Keano. And now look at them. Okay maybe not having the best start but they are doing alot better than Derby and Fulham. Typical Wolves, never get it right. Now if Morgan is mopre interested in going on reality tv about africa then thats fine, but before he goes I hope he knows the underlining feeling of another under acheiving season. I bet he feels ripped off that he spent a tenner on wolves. We are a laughing stock in this division, in the country!

    In Mick we trust…. I DONT THINK SO!

  119. rich5wolves said:

    K’ford ex Gornal - fantastic post. Everything Moxey has had to do in ways of major decisions he has got wrong. You forgot he tried to offer Hoddle another contract too………………..

  120. Cudgie Woodford Hals said:

    fully agree with k’ford ex gornal comment 116

    Come on steve make us proud, i’ve heard a little rumour that you are not letting MM have anymore money in the transfer window and that you are thinking of bringing in jeff bridges ex liverpool finance director, if its true then do it now please.

    remember the bhatti brothers, remember getting knocked out of the cup by chorley, remember watching crap football!!! seems all to familar.

    I was born a Baggies fan so I don’t have any symapthy for you lot but it seems as though MM doesn’t have long left at the Mol. Another manager who hasn’t hacked it at Wolves, big club, big fan base - poor player selection, crap in the transfer market, crap board, all round bad management. No wonder you are having a go.

  122. Paddy said:

    While we continue to play sideways and backwards, our cultured midfields abdicating all responsibiilty to skill less centrehalfs to hoof the ball forward or panic and return the ball to Wayne H then we are never going to achieve anything like entertainment or victories

    This points to the manager and coaches

    Get rid and get some ideas in which will prove effective

    Doesnt matter who takes to the field if they are left confused and clueles so lacking in confidence they couldnt trap a bag of cement of pass wind let alone find a gold shirt - our midfield couldnt find their own ar* e with both hands at the moment

    Dont blame the suffering fans - you coach them you motivate them you pick the team you make the calls during the game on subs. Your stubborn, clueless and charmless

    MM get back to the spell book as you need a new idea NOW

    90 Andy Wolves

    Well said I was sitting next to a fan who booed Jay and I had a right go at him. I could understand his frustration at the way Jay was playing, if he was to spend more time on his feet than on his backside he might get the support, but he was not the only player that did not perform. I suggest we get a vicar into the ground and exorcise both goals as there appears to something that is stopping the goals going in cause it aint for the want of trying. I don’t think sacking MM is going to help. I was appalled at the way some of the fans left the ground 20mins for the final whistle. No matter what and no matter how frustrating it is no one should leave the ground before the final whistle. Crystal Palace fans were laughing at us.

  126. little nige said:

    they say in football the league never lies and neither do goals scored - the best stats are for freddie Eastwood and Ebanks Blake so surely they shoud start every game. Keogh’s movement is fantastic but his goal ration isn’t so play him behind the strikers. Jay Both has to go as does Stephen Ward - ok when we had no money and have done their best - but not now as they’re both not really up to it.

    i think we need a new coach, Connor for me just isn’t good enough. Buy sadler from Blues at left back - we are still only a young side and only just outside of playooffs - getting rid of MM isn’t the answer - maybe getting off their backs will help as last season the team did perform better when we supported them - even when 6 down against Saints.

    come on boyz support them for ever more and it will come good

    116 K’swinford Ex Gornal - One of the “real” villains in all of this has to be Jez Moxey - the clueless pratt who hit the panic button when MM was being “approached” by S Korea??? - It looks more like MM’s agent getting Moxey to jump through more “hoops” and our CEO fell for it - Comes as no surprise really!

    Moxey has had seasons of failures and bad decisions - granted he got one or two things right, but the vast majority have steered our club into the rudderless position we now find ourselves in today!!!

    Mr Moxey in our view has made himself fairly wealthy at the Wolves - whilst we have no objections to anyone benefitting from the clubs successes on the field of play - What real success has this man ever brought the club? One unexpected promotion via the play offs and then what?

    SM needs a clean sweep and brush away ALL the hangers on at the club - Moxey included - SM needs his own trusted personnel and a manager with abillity, leadership and good football knowledge

    Sam Allardyce is from the Dudley area originally and a known Wolves fan - He built the foundations that are still in place at Bolton and is currently available

    We hope that SM has the courage of his convictions to change the status quo at the Mol - Time for this club to wake up and cease the underachievements that are now becoming an absolute embarressment to all that love this club dearly

    MM has openly admitted he is clueless and his sides performances on the field of play have been borderline criminal, clueless and devoid of entertainment value

    Time for a TOTAL change - Out with the old and in with the NEW

    A long overdue goodbye to Moxey, the backroom staff and MM - Our beloved club is fast becoming a joke and we cant sit there anymore

    From the sub standard merchandise in the club shops to the sub standard performances on the field of play - Its time for this lot to be broomed OUT where it belongs - OUT of the club we all love and follow!!!

    UP THE WOLVES!!!

    MM & M OUT & STAY OUT!!!

    Ive tried for the last few weeks to keep backing Mick, but sorry, i cant put up with this any more.

    Second season disaster again, just like Glenn Hoddle. Mick has totally and utterly lost the plot. We have Karl Henry and Stephen Ward on the wing, WHY OH WHY? Neill Collins is the worst player in the league, why cant Rob Edwards get a game? Why doesnt Freddy Eastwood start? Exactly what position is Jay Bothroyd supposed to be playing in? Why dont Mark Davies and Stephen Gleeson get anywhere near the side?

    Mick wont drop his favourites, and because of that, we are going to continue going backwards. We wont make the play-offs, we wont do anything this season, and if we arent careful, we could be in a relegation battle come March. I cant even see where the next win is going to come from, i really cant. And God help us if West Brom were to come to Wolves in the next week or so, because they would rip us to shreads.

    Time to give Mick his P45. We havent played well at Molineux since the Charlton game, and that was in October. Sorry Mick, its not good enough. Ive seen some crap in my time, ive seen us drop through the divisions like a lead balloon, but even that wasnt as bad as this has been under McCarthy at times.

    53 … Cashy

    Boothroyd even thought he was being subbed ! as the board went up he jogged over from the S Bull stand, to the bench waiting I am sure to see his number on the board !
    I think he was more surprised than us NOT to see his number in lights, this was only compounded by that awful late miss at 0 - 3 down !

    Tip for Freddy Eastwood …. get a sun tan …. change your name by deed poll to Jay Boothroyd…. you might get a start then ??? !!!

    Tip for our illustrious board.

    Sir Jack knew this and did something about it.

    I used to stand with my mates in a wooden shed drinking piss weak tea and freezing watching the wolves crush most teams that came to Molinuex in the last 60s early 70s

    I’M still here. The reason wolves are still here is because of the support Mick. How dare you suggest our opinion is worthless or harming the club. WE ARE THE BLOODY CLUB! and we will still be here when you my friend are well gone.

    andywolves, 90
    take it you are an armchair fan!! you are talking through your ass, saying things like that, it the real fans that are on this page,, that should be listened to. if you were to spend over five hundred quid on a seasone ticket like a lot of us have and have actually been to any of the games this season, you would realise why we all peeved. we have wasted money to watch a load of rubbish, then you have the nerve to criticse and slag us off about booing, i take it you must be one of muppet micks right handed men!!! if you have nothing at all constructive to say, stay off this page, and let us have a say instead of making out you are speaking gods word and meaning what you say is the gospel. i can safely say that i am a muppet!!! yes, for buying a season ticket and listening to what comes out of the mouths of the mol muppets and muppets like you!! so unless you have something important to say instead of slagging off the real fans, i suggest u go and support the tesco bags!! they live up the road in boggytown!!!

    Mick has lost the plot now. As much as he is a good manager he’s makin the fans boo them. When the wolves fans booed new years day its because he took Keogh off, mick says he had a chest infection, no offense but you dow start him! same with Ebanks-blake. Mick says he’s been up and down the motoway for two days, same again you dont start him, so Mick is asking for the boos. At the end of the day we aint gunna get big sam so we cant fool our selves so we hav gtu bide time as fans and help the team out, even if they are as good as a chocolate fireguard!
