Mick McCarthy mourns 'disgraceful afternoon'

Mick McCarthy has apologised to Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters after they witnessed a 5-1 thrashing by rivals West Bromwich Albion at Molineux this afternoon.

Peter Odemwingie netted a hat-trick for the Baggies as they claimed the Black Country bragging rights and condemned Wolves to a place in the bottom three.

"It is an understatement to say it has been a disappointing afternoon," McCarthy told Sky Sports News.

"It turned out to be a terrible afternoon, a disgraceful afternoon, in terms of our performance.

"It was an awful performance and, I don't often do it, but I'll apologise for that one to everyone who was here watching - our fans."

Wolves return to Premier League action at Newcastle United on February 25.
