Wolves leakage worries Mick

Mick McCarthy admits he is worried by Wolverhampton Wanderers' influx of late goals after the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at Molineux.
The Wanderers were left empty handed during Sunday's local derby after Emile Heskey's last-ditch header to heap a third defeat of the season on McCarthy's men.
The reverse came as a bitter blow to Wolves, who had grabbed a deserved equaliser in the 61st minute as Matt Jarvis cancelled out Stewart Downing's first-half opener.
And McCarthy was irked by referee Mark Halsey's decision to let yellow-carded full-back Stephen Warnock off with a final warning after his reckless challenge of Kevin Doyle.
"I think it was a terrific second-half performance and we were done by a really good goal," McCarthy told Sky Sports.
"I think we could have defended it better and I'm not sure the guy who crossed it should be on the pitch.
Asked whether Warnock was lucky to escape a second booking, McCarthy added: "Should have, possibly, maybe, could have, might have, ought to have, whatever way you want put on it you go back and look at Fulham and the two bookings for Christophe Berra's and I feel a lot aggrieved about it.
"We've been punished harshly for some of our tackles."
Wolves' latest defeat leaves them lurking near the lower echelons of the league after conceding a late goal for the third successive game.
And McCarthy, whose side are a solitary point above the bottom three in 17th place, admits his side need to buck up their ideas if they are to improve their fortunes.
"Of course it's a concern losing games is a concern so we're really disappointed," the former Republic of Ireland manager added.
