Mick McCarthy admitted to being "embarrassed" by his team's performance in the fifth round of the FA Cup this afternoon. Wolves went out of the competition after conceding two early goals.
The Wolves boss told his players to take heed of the comments that were being aimed at them by disgruntled fans.
He said: "It's been an awful day. Hopeless is the word I'd use. We were as bad as we have ever been.
"From the kick-off we lost possession . We've started the last three out of four games dreadfully.
"One or two of the players were upset by comments made by supporters as they were warming down - but that shouldn't be the case. Any stick they were getting was deserved. Terry Connor (coach) told them they should stay and listen.
"I feel sorry for the fans who have travelled here and had to watch that."
The Wolves manager opted for a 4-3-3 formation at the start of the tie. He reverted to 4-4-2 after about 20 minutes.
He added: "I'll never know whether that shape or that team would have done anything because we were a goal down after 80 seconds.
"It hurts and that hurt should be taken with us into Tuesday night's game against Scunthorpe. It's a vital game for us now."
