Fans Commented on McCarthy’s decision on team selection of Wolves

In the match against Manchester United, Wolves’ important players were missing in the field and the fans were hostile with the Mick McCarthy’s strategy of team selection for the match. Wolves lost 0-3 in the match and fans got frustrated with match and the coach.

On Saturday, Wolves won over Tottenham made the team out of the relegation zone and that was the second win of the team. The first win was 26 years ago and that win gave inspiration and support to the fans of Wolves also. But after they saw the line up in the field, they just got frustrated and as the match progressed they started shouting ‘We want our money back and that’s understandable.

But Williams, one of the fans, gave comments on the match and the decision of the Mick McCarthy as:

“Hopefully he will pick a full-strength team against Burnley and make amends. Listening to Mick’s reasoning, you can understand it, but then he confounded it by saying we’ve got some big games coming up. Well surely last night was a big game? Coming as it was on the back of a win at Tottenham, I thought there was something to be gained from that match on Tuesday. It’s well catalogued that United haven’t the best of defences at the moment with injuries and so on, and I just thought with the likes of the players that were missing we just might have pressed on and got something out of it. Wolves sold out their allocation, paid £42 each plus the time and cost of travelling, and my first reaction when I saw 10 changes and players playing out of position was, I thought, grossly disrespectful. I know it’s easy as a fan to criticise and it’s down to the manager at the end of the day to say he knows best. I can’t complain too much because his knowledge of being best has been pretty good over the last couple of years or so. That said, I hope he doesn’t adopt this attitude in other matches. I’d rather he strengthened the squad in January and did things that way. But come Sunday the ground will be full again, the fans will be behind Mick McCarthy and the team, and if we beat Burnley all this will be forgotten. I was disappointed when I saw the team, just like the other 3,000 Wolves fans there. But deep down I think realism comes to mind where you’ve got Burnley on Saturday so you’d rather field a very strong side there. Realistically, we got three points at Spurs where we didn’t expect three points and Mick’s come away probably thinking don’t bite off more than you can chew. I think he’s thinking Man Utd are going to walk all over us and we’d be lucky to get a draw never mind a win, so why not. As fans you have to bite your lip some days. You’re going to get good games with a full side some days, and some days you’re not.”
