Wolves captain Roger Johnson believes Molineux has become 'hostile'

Wolves captain Roger Johnson today claimed Molineux has become a "hostile" place for Wolves to play.

Manager Mick McCarthy suffered abuse, while Johnson had to endure songs calling for Jody Craddock to take his place in response to the captain's own struggle for form during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Swansea.

The level of abuse suggests the return of the 'Molineux Factor,' which was blamed for holding the club back before McCarthy's arrival.

Johnson said: "It's very hostile – we were trying to keep the ball, playing from side to side and we were being booed for it. Some of the shouts I heard were below the belt.

"We don't want to hear them and it's not on. The fans have got short memories – they can have a pop at me for saying it, but we don't need that."
