' HARRY WILSON AFTER LAST NIGHT '
HARRY WILSON:
"Obviously I was delighted to score," said Wilson, who last scored in the win over Birmingham City back in December. "I was conscious because it has been a while.
"I was desperate to get back on the scoresheet, so to do that in a 2-0 win, I'm delighted.
"When the new manager came in, it gave the players a lift in training. The gaffer picked the team off that. I was disappointed to miss out because, like every player, I felt like I should be in the team.
"But I knew I'd get my chance, and once that came I was determined to prove that I need to be in this team.
"I feel since I've been back, I've done that. My performances and my numbers have been good."
McCarthy, after his first game in charge up at Barnsley, said no player had a divine right to start in his team, with the manager having opted for Junior Hoilett and Sheyi Ojo up at Oakwell that after they stood out in training.
But Wilson has clearly stamped his mark now and earned McCarthy's trust and the manager lauded the player's stunning finish at Kenilworth Road.
"We didn't start the second half well but Harry got a bit of space and punished them with a wonderful goal," he said.
"That's why you have him in the team.
"We have got the other guys. The three big centre-backs who were battling away against their two strikers.
"I thought Vaulksy (Will Vaulks) and Marlon Pack were excellent in there.
"Then you've got the exciting ones who put the bells and whistles on all that hard work and that's what he did."
