<\/p>\nMick McCarthy<\/a> has lambasted Wolves’s<\/a> defence following his side’s 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United<\/a> at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\nKevin Nolan, Shola Ameobi, Peter Lovenkrands and Jonas Gutierrez all found the net for Alan Pardew\u2019s side which left the Wolves boss bemoaning his team\u2019s lapses as Wolves now sit second from bottom in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first one was really poor, we know Nolan runs on, it was a good finish when he gets it, but come on, if that happened tomorrow morning when we\u2019re watching our kids you wouldn\u2019t be happy about it,” said McCarthy.<\/p>\n
“That changes the course, that changes the feeling, It gives them a better feeling and momentum.”<\/p>\n
The former Ireland boss believed his side we\u2019re starting to get back into the game late in the first half but were dealt a hammer blow when Ameobi added to Nolan\u2019s first goal.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cPrior to half-time we were having the best of it, Pards comes out and says make sure you keep it at 1-0 for the next two minutes. Unfortunately they didn\u2019t take any notice and they went to 2-0, I don\u2019t think he meant that when he shouted keep it at 1-0.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wolves manager stated he didn\u2019t think the international break helped his side\u2019s cause as two of his key players Kevin Foley and Matt Jarvis were away on duty which prevented preparation for their crucial clash.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did have momentum but I don\u2019t know whether the lads going away, Jarvo Matt Jarvis England cap, Kevin Foley playing two games, they haven\u2019t played a game all year and they\u2019re playing two games before the Newcastle game which didn\u2019t do me any favours.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt certainly affects the training we didn\u2019t have everybody in till Thursday to really prepare but hey that\u2019s the way it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCarthy was in no doubt that Kevin Nolan\u2019s challenge on Adam Hammill in the first half did not deserve a red card, but insists it was one of the poorer challenges in the game.<\/p>\n
The Wolves boss also believes that his side have been given a raw deal of late about their reputation of being a dirty team which he thinks is not the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a sending off no way. What really irks me is that everybody has tried to and spin this game to say we were some kind of monster coming up here, that we were evil and we were going to kick everybody,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Every tackle was greeted with derision, It Nolan\u2019s was the worse one on the pitch, it was the most cynical, the most professional and pre-meditated and not a bleeding word was said. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s not a sending off it\u2019s a yellow card. I don\u2019t blame him for doing it, he took one for the team. Don\u2019t be griping at my lads because we go down and heaven forbid tackle somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wolves boss thinks that the Magpies are a tricky opponent and has called for his side to bounce back against Everton.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t ever feel that Newcastle have ever been an easy touch,” McCarthy admitted.<\/p>\n
“To come up here and you just expect to win because we had a bit of momentum and been playing well – does a team in the bottom three as long as we have suddenly become a great team that\u2019s going to play well every week? No, it\u2019s not so we\u2019ve had a bad one today.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll regroup for Monday and we\u2019ll get ready for Everton and we\u2019ll be better.\u201d<\/p>\n
