Wolves boss McCarthy refuses to change formation despite fans calls

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy will stick to his lone striker system, despite the calls from fans for a change.

McCarthy is pleased with the way his players are playing to his formation.

McCarthy said: "We have played differently and this enables us to stay in games.

"It has made us more secure. It hasn't affected the amount of chances that we have created, because the lads in midfield have been up and down. We have probably had as many chances playing that way and we have never looked as stretched either.

"But a question was asked of me after the Hull game: 'Did you hear a chorus of 4-4-2?'

"I said I don't give a damn what the chorus was. I am not bothered. And I meant that - form a committee to design a horse and you get a camel.

"We played well. I think we have had four of our better performances against Liverpool, Hull, Birmingham and Tottenham playing that way."
