McCarthy hits back at critics
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has described as "a pile of nonsense" the bad publicity currently surrounding his under-fire club.
McCarthy's side have hit the headlines and been criticised for all the wrong reasons of late after picking up 13 yellow cards and one red in their last two Barclays Premier League matches.
Wolves collected seven bookings in the draw with Newcastle and then a further six and the red in Saturday's last-gasp defeat at Fulham, resulting in two separate fines from the Football Association totalling £75,000.
The issues surrounding Wolves have been further exacerbated by the fact Fulham striker Bobby Zamora sustained a broken leg following a fair challenge from Karl Henry.
Although the critics have turned on Wolves, McCarthy sees no reason why his players should change their approach for Saturday's visit to Spurs, or for any other game.
"What concerns me, and I've watched the game twice now, is that there wasn't a bad tackle in the game at Fulham," said McCarthy. "We're not a dirty team but at the moment it looks like we are because of circumstances. But it's wrong, a whole pile of nonsense actually, but such is life."
