McCarthy backing Doyle to fire
The Republic of Ireland international has struggled for fitness since arriving at Molineux from Reading in the summer for a club record £6million fee.
A landmark day in the Midlands saw Doyle's goal help Wolves to their first Premier League success at home since May 2004 with a 2-1 win over Fulham.
McCarthy is hopeful Doyle's first in Wolves colours will ease any pressure he has put on himself, while backing the 26-year-old to prove to be an astute acquisition.
"That's brilliant for Kev," said McCarthy. "He's a Premier League striker and a Premier League goalscorer.
"Unfortunately when we took him he had a hernia and he's never been fit, even today.
"He has been getting his fitness on the hoof a little bit in training and in games. It is great for him to get his first goal and that will help his confidence - not that he lacks self-belief.
"It is more to do with the acceptance of him by everyone at the football club as a centre-forward who is a big signing and who has to score goals.
"He has not been fit enough in games, but he is getting there and it's great for him to get this goal."
