And I'm pretty sure that not only were you including the FA Cup semifinal in your total, but matches they played in afterwards.

Honestly, I just don't get how you can condemn Wolves for resting players in a midweek fixture after a very tough game when they have a vital six-pointer coming up, but still think it's acceptable for a big club to throw away the FA Cup semi-final. Let's put it in a little more personal terms. How would you feel if there were an uproar every time Wigan rested a player? Do you think they have very many outfield players who are capable of playing at their best for three matches in a seven day stretch without a rest?
Holy **** they just didnt rest 1 or 2 players they rested a full team, when the likes of Man Utd or Arsenal do it their putting a team out that in all honesty could beat the team they are playing, Wolves first team struggle against the better teams so how the hell do you think their reserves go on ? By the way it wasn't 3 games in 7 days it was 3 games in 9 days, at the end of the day the job of a manager is to put a team out who he feels can beat the opposition, did McCarthy do that ? Answer NO. So in that aspect he took a dive.
