Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has thown down the gauntlet to his entire squad to end their Molineux scoring drought and ease their survival fears.

The team remain the Premier League’s joint lowest scorers with Portsmouth on 28, but bizarrely only the top five teams have rattled in more than McCarthy’s side on their travels.

But that leaves the paltry 10 they have netted in front of their own fans as comfortably the division’s lowest home tally.

David Jones’s match-winner against Tottenham on February 10 remains Wolves’ only goal at Molineux in six games, although the opposition included Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.

But with seven in the last three thanks to top scorer Kevin Doyle and Jody Craddock boosting their tallies to seven and five respectively, McCarthy stressed the need for goals to come from all departments and for his players to carry their excellent away form to Molineux.

The manager said: “We need goals to come from everywhere. We’ve got to try and take our away form to Molineux but, that said, our performances at home against Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham have been terrific.

“We’ve just scored seven goals from three games, so a glut of them have come along and they’ve come on the back of us playing well.”

McCarthy believes certain players have merely been unlucky in front of goal.

He said: “Kevin Foley hasn’t scored but how closer can he get than the underside of the bar? He’s had chances and he’s hit the target. He’s also had efforts on goal against Birmingham and Chelsea.”

Winger Matt Jarvis’s many extra hours on the training pitches have been rewarded with two goals in three games and four in 12.

McCarthy reckons the player has earned his reward.

He said: “We have to get them from everywhere else and Jarvis has been terrific. How’s it come about? Because he practices, he works at it and trains hard. He’s been conscious he hasn’t scored enough goals and he’s had chances and gets himself chances.

“Matt works hard at it and is still only young. He had no Premier League experience.”
