The Murphy and McGoldrick years, those were the best of Mick McCarthy. Not that I remember it at all. Those following years with the 3 Pauls dragged badly, to me that feels a long time ago football wise if i'm honest. |  |

Yep, MM changed the whole side, I remember the whole concourse being shocked at our starting 11.
Luke Chambers never forgave MM for that. | |

Josh Yorwerth has played at Old Trafford and Luke Chambers hasn't.
Make it make sense. Absolute shocker from Mick.
We changed our whole team so we could draw at home to Bristol City a few days later. |  |

There’s a case to be made that this game - or the 5-1 defeat at Reading a week or so earlier, started the clock ticking on Mick’s reign. It was a long drawn out saga, and he battled the dying of the light for well over 2 and a half years, but from here on, fun seemed to be in short supply. |  | | |

Absolutely. He didn’t make many friends with his selection. It’s common to rotate for that cup of course, but it felt like some of his most loyal players had been denied a once in a career opportunity to play at OT. And also signalled that we’d given up before a ball was kicked. I know we shouldn’t have put sentiment first, but there was so little going well it felt like an opportunity missed to boost the mood. |  |

I just googled Josh Yorwerth and his Wikipedia entry makes for fascinating reading. Blimey. Silly boy. | |

I remember having a drunken conversation with him in a bar in town & he was telling me how much Mick loved him & that he was going to be in the team in a few months time etc etc
Literally the next week he was released.
What a helmet. |  |

The McCarthy era definitely peaked in December 2014. |  |

Stuff like this didn't help Mick. Old Trafford and we played a second team.
He was needlessly antagonistic towards supporters. All that stuff over 'the more you call for Celina, the less likely I'll put him on' etc.
Why couldn't he have been honest and said 'look, we've got no money, I've got to play this style to keep us competitive, I understand the frustration but...'
That said, I don't think any other manager could have saved us when he came in on Nov 2012. He sorted us out and made it easy for the players.
14/15 was fun but as someone noted above, we ran out of steam by Jan. Were never going to win play offs.
When Tommy equalised against scum though when down to 10 men.... [Post edited 24 Sep 10:59]

I remember seeing him play for Merthyr on loan before he was banned. Looked decent at that level. As posters have said - silly boy |  | | |

Micks era in terms of any promotion ambitions or success, pretty much collapsed at the end of 2014 didn’t it?
We had an awful second half of the season really to only just scrape into the playoffs and then didn’t sniff them again. I remember being back for that M’boro Christmas home game and was convinced we’d get automatics!
Of course you could argue we’d have gone down far sooner without him. |  |

Yep I thought we'd go up. Ironically we screwed it by playing a close to full strength team in the FA Cup against Southampton when I think Didzy got injured. |  | | |

I’d have to check the stats but we must have been in pretty awful form second half of that season! Should still have gone at Norwich second half at home though in the playoffs, was our only shot.
Didzy still scoring this year down the leagues isn’t he! I remember the American lass I was over with that Christmas who’d never been to a game in her life “he’s the best player on the field”, ha. | |

Our results took a big dip between the start of January and the middle of March. Having only lost 3 games from the start of the season up to New Year’s Day, we lost 7 out of 13 across that period.
We dragged it round with a decent return in the last 9 games, including 5 wins and 2 draws, but were helped by Derby’s implosion over the same period. What gets forgotten is that it was a very competitive chase for the top 6 that year. Wolves finished 7th on 78 points, Derby 8th with 77, which seems crazy given that 69 points has been enough for a play off place in the last few seasons. | | | |

79 points was enough for automatic promotion in both 2008 (Stoke) and 2013 (Hull).
Madness! | |
