Wolves players at fault, admits captain Captain Roger Johnson insists the Wolves players and not sacked manager Mick McCarthy are to blame for the club's current plight. McCarthy was dismissed on Monday after Wolves slipped into the bottom three of the Premier League with Sunday's 5-1 home defeat by West Bromwich. However, when asked how much blame the players should take for Wolves' plight, Johnson said: "All of it. The manager can maybe take 5 to 10 per cent [of the blame]. The rest of it is down to the lads. We have let Mick down. The club's owner, Steve Morgan, is due back from holiday today to step up the process of finding a replacement.
