The pressure's on, admits McCarthy
Mick McCarthy is braced for a backlash from the Wolves fans if his side fail to beat West Ham in Saturday's relegation clash at Molineux.[LNB] Wolves have slipped into the bottom three of the Premier League after suffering four successive defeats - their worst results sequence for six years.[LNB]After facing the Hammers, they then have to play the current top four in Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal in successive games.[LNB]McCarthy said: "West Ham at home is a huge game and the pressure will be on.[LNB]"I'm not going to appease people with words. That's just the way it is.[LNB]"If we don't win, the frustrations will be all the worse and fans will be coming up with whatever anagram they can for 'super Mick' - 'big-nosed whatever' - because I've seen it before.[LNB]"But you won't find a more pragmatic bloke than me. Results have been poor. But we're doing everything we can here to get results."[LNB]McCarthy added: "In terms of motivation, the West Ham game takes care of itself.[LNB]"If we win, we could be one point off 10th spot, and in a great position going into a really tough run of games.[LNB]"Sometimes you say 'balls to it - we need a performance, so come on, let's play West Ham.'[LNB]"You can put all the analysis in the bin and just try to give a performance."
