"I was definitely relieved when the deal was done because in the end I just wanted to get away from Wolves because I wasn't playing enough," said Eastwood to the CT.
"I never once thought I had made a wrong move going to Wolves, I always thought it was a good one because I was going to a Championship club from a League One club. To me it was like moving to Manchester United because the facilities were so good at Wolves.
"It was just the fact that I wasn't playing that got me down. I was scoring goals, then for some reason the manager took me out of the team. That was disappointing for me, but as far as I'm concerned that is all in the past.
"Some days it was hard to go into training and get motivated when you knew that come Saturday you weren't going to play but as we are all professionals, we're getting paid to go in and train.
"My time at Wolves has been a big-stepping stone and it was good for my own experience. To go to a club for £1.5 million and not play more than 10 games and to be coming off the bench occasionally is something that I wouldn't have got if I had gone to another club because I would have started.
"I'm not sure why I fell out of favour, the manager never pulled me over and told me one reason or another why I wasn't in the team. Something was obviously wrong but we never had a falling out. Perhaps my style of football didn't suit the manager. There was obviously something because I didn't play, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"My opinion of Mick McCarthy has definitely changed. When I first went up to Wolves on a Thursday night to meet him and sign the contract, Mick told me I would be a first-choice striker. I was going to Charlton on the same deal with Alan Pardew but it was because of Mick McCarthy that I changed my mind and went to Wolves.
"Then when I get to Wolves I didn't play the first game of the season and I didn't play as much as I would like - it was disappointing. Obviously he had changed his opinion on me.
"I suppose in reality you could say that I should have gone to Charlton instead. But at the time it was the right choice and I thought I would get in the team.
"At Wolves I got on with everybody and the fans loved me there. I've done nothing wrong and it would have worked out okay had I played more and scored 15 or 20 goals last season."
"It was a huge blow when I couldn't go out on loan because I just wanted to be playing football. "When it came out that Coventry wanted me on loan and Southend were another one, I wanted to stay in the Championship but Wolves didn't want me playing for another team in their league. It was awkward.
"Wolves were in touching distance of the play-offs and they saw me as possibly being a key player. When they stopped me going on loan I thought maybe the manager will start playing me, but that obviously wasn't the case.
"I'd get the odd Wolves fan that would come up to me and even now after I've joined Coventry, they say 'I don't know why you didn't get more of a chance'.
"A load of the lads from Wolves are my best mates, I knew players before I went there and now I've moved on I certainly don't wish Wolves the worst, I hope they crack on and do well.
"I've spoken to a lot of the players there since I've moved on and they wished me well as has the manager."
