Kabba has Boothroyd smiling again

ASKED for his assessment of an increasingly peculiar promotion race, Wolves manager Mick McCarthy was typically blunt.

“We’re all as bad as each other,” he said, after watching Watford gain revenge over his team for their 4-1 win in the FA Cup fourth-round tie at Vicarage Road nine days ago.

This defeat left Wolves 11th in the Championship, yet they are just 11 points adrift of leaders West Brom and only two shy of a play-off place.
