McCarthy vows to fight on after derby humiliation
WOLVES (1) vs WEST BROM (5)
WOLVES manager Mick McCarthy insists he remains the right man for the job despite a derby drubbing sending his side spinning into the relegation zone.
A hat-trick from West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie, plus strikes from Jonas Olsson and Keith Andrews, heaped humiliation on their West Midlands rivals.
But McCarthy said: “I always feel I’m the right person to do it. I’ve not got a message for the fans. I’ve apologised. That is all I can do. That’s how badly I feel about it.”
Odemwingie’s deflected effort put the Baggies ahead after 34 minutes, but in-form Steven Fletcher’s first-time shot equalised just before half-time. However, Wolves goalkeeper Wayne Hennessy’s blunder allowed Olsson to re-establish the visitors’ advantage and opened the floodgates for Odemwingie and Andrews.
