Mick McCarthy admits he isn’t happy with Wolves’ league position and says the players expected better.
McCarthy rode out a rocky patch in February to steer Wolves to the edge the play-off zone. But he believes his side have under-achieved this season.
“I’d like to be top and about five points clear – I’d like to be home and hosed by now if the truth be known,” he said.
“So I’m not happy with our position because I’d like to be in a better position and I think the players feel we should be over the course of the season. I’m sure if we sit and analyse it there would be mitigating circumstances, reasons and excuses.
“But I go back to that first team I picked when I first came here and maybe people should be a bit happier than we have been.
“I’m not content with where we are but we still have that opportunity of getting in the play-offs, which is what we’re all trying to achieve.”
Just to prepare for tonight’s sell-out clash, he arranged for the players to sit through Albion’s draw against Watford coming back on the coach – although the Molineux gaffer didn’t force them to watch.

Who in their right mind would force themselves to watch a Watford match? Ugh! The footballing equivalent of Japanese water torture or tooth extraction minus anaesthetic. Hopefully tonight’s match will be a much more entertaining affair…
You’ll be even more unhappy come 10 o’clock tonight!
Boing Boing!
Not long ago when Muppet said he only looked at the table at the end of the season, or has our season already finished?
thought he didnt look at the league!!lol
Just a few weeks ago the Muppet said he did not look at the tables ’till the end of the season, or is our season over?
your own fault for sending Jody Craddock, our best defender, to the team who are sitting at the top of the table…
I just wish it was the live sky match this eve, way bigger game, full house, derby game, both teams with soo much at stake, set up to be a real humdinger!!
C’mon Me Babbies….
ok mick it’s been a poor season on the whole, but if we make the play offs..then who cares!!!!
the season will start propper come the first leg..so it could still be a brilliant promotion winning season.
BUT LET’S KICK OFF WITH TONIGHT..3 POINTS WILL WILL PUT US WELL ON THE WAY TO THE TOP 6.
SUPER, SUPER MICK, SUPER MICK MCARTHY!!!!!!!!
Dave 2 I remember a few Months ago you were going to Murder us at your place and you were lucky to get a point, Frenchwolf get behind your team or go over to Sandwell Town call yourself a wolf more like a sheep in a wolfs clothing
2) Keep up the cockiness. We will see. Let’s bombard your frail defence!
Leaving work shortly. Come on Wolves!
“this is an announcement to all Wolves Supporters attending tonights game”
please,please cheer the lads on for the whole match,not just a decent shot, or great block etc.
lets show them that we are 100% behind them in everything they do, whether it comes off or not.
we have tried booing them and that doesnt work, and last season when we didnt have the quality like we have now but they tried we cheered them.
so lets give it everything we can, and then we are in the hands of the football gods.
COME ON WANDERERS
Come on lads. 3 points tonight!
I do wish this guy just shut up for the rest of the season. We might have a chance then.
Of course we have underachieved significantly this year. We still unbelievably have a chance to rectify it and it starts tonight.
Come on Wolves
COME ON YOU WOLVES. Good to see you ackowledge your mistakes this year. You are getting it right now so I am right behind you and wish you all the best.
For all the people that have stated that McCarthy is stubborn then there is proof that he is not.
southbank barmy army:
Im loving your better mood. Much better than pessimistic southbank barmy army. Keep up the good work tonight and we’ll be home and hosed!
Come on Wolves!
Dear MM,
It’s about time that you admitted league position is important, and am finally pleased that you are looking at our league position, especially when you have said on many occasions that only at the end of the season will you look at the table. Might I say it’s a tad late to be doing this though, and by your sheepisness i think you know that.
But I suppose better late than never.
Right lets be positive, only a few games left to go, so MM do as I suggested a while ago, get the office to make a life size print of the league table and stick it up in the dressing room so that everyone can see where we stand, I feel the pride is coming back into the players and staff so don’t dissapoint, a final massive push till the end of the season.
Good luck to all the players keep your heads up and keep fighting for every ball, that is all every Wolves fan can ask.
Also good luck to Hennessey hope you can keep a clean sheet for tonight and the remaining games, you’ve done us proud this season.
The day of reckoning draws ever closer, and at last it has dawned on this very limited, serial failure that he has failed yet again! It always ends in tears!
OUT OF DARKNESS COMETH PAUL INCE!
REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST.
The rumour factory is teeming with references that SEB will be joining WBA next season in the Premiership!
eddie the wolf how can you 3 pints tonight the pubs are shut.
The reason we are where we are has a lot to do with tactics and bizarre team selections.How manygames did Favourite son S.Ward play out of position(wonder what his true position is?)when Jarvis was available.How many times did F.Eastwood feature for minutes when all was lost?Yes wolvesmod (6) how many games were we without Craddock when he was a better option than some who played.I could go on — bottom line is current league position is dowm to M.M.,and if we do manage to crawl out of this weak division we still should look at replacing this muppet
MM as others have said, you claimed to have no interest in the league tables until the end of the season ! Perhaps if you had some of your selections would have been different and based on ability and not on favouritism.
In saying that lets get the job done tonight !
cluless mick at last admiting he’s failed ha ha
paul ince in asap please mr morgan
At least Mental Mickey has owned up to the fact that we have under achieved this season. Honesty is the best policy me thinks….
Leaving work 3:30!
Can we not just accept that MM is our manager and get behind the team. This is realy boring me, name me wolves best players and they have all been signed by Mick. Wake up and realise that will you, course hes made mistakes and we’re not where we want to be YET. Cumon, lets do the baggies
Well done MM. None of us are happy with the current position especially when you consider all the rubbish teams that are above us in the league!! At least the playoffs hold no fear - or do they?
2. Another baggie fan reading a wolves thread..
HAHAHAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA ! In your dreams ..
MM getting into the playoffs and not going up is like kissing your sister? who gives a rats ass about best of the rest? Championship next year and as long as you are in charge!
1NIL 1NIL 1NIL 1NIL
Well, i suppose he’s even less happy now? Finally noting our position in the table are we thick mick ?
27) Hear Hear!
those who think mick should be here next season are not true WWFC fans. they do not have the best interests of the club at heart. they are incapable of looking to the future.
Somehow we need to hold on to our star players and get rid of this incompetant buffoon
