Wolverhamtpon Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy admits he was shocked to see his side lose 3-0 to Crystal Palace in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.

The Premier League side were downed by a miraculous hat trick from defender Danny Butterfield, who had previously scored just one goal in the previous six years.

"I didn't see that coming after the last two games," McCarthy said.

Up next is a local derby against Birmingham, and the Irishman is hoping for an improvement.

"We'll analyse it, have a look at it and see what we can do with the Birmingham game in mind.

He added: "I had my pound of flesh in the dressing room and I'll have another pound when we get back in training on Thursday, and we'll sort it out between us."
