McCarthy: Confident he's the right man for Wolves

Manager Mick McCarthy apologised to Wolves fans after their 5-1 home mauling by West Brom - but insisted he remains the right man for the job.

Wolves dropped into the Premier League's bottom three on goal difference after Peter Odemwingie hit the second hat-trick of his career for the visiting Baggies at Molineux.

A section of Wolves fans vented their anger at the directors' box towards the end of the game and a couple of hundred protested afterwards by the Billy Wright statue.

McCarthy said: "I would think it was one of the most disappointing afternoons of my career.

"I apologise for the performance and I've never done that before. But the way we capitulated in the last half-hour is not associated with my teams."

When asked if he was still the right man to lead Wolves, 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."

McCarthy was unhappy with his side's performance even though they came in at half-time at 1-1.

He said: "We came here on the back of a good win and performance at QPR last week. We got away with the first half and started the second period well.

"But we did not deal with two corners which cost us and then at 3-1 West Brom picked us off when we pushed forward."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
