Yakubu: Abuse hurting team
The Rovers striker watched on as Ewood Park erupted in boos at the end of their 2-1 loss to fellow Premier League strugglers Bolton on Tuesday, with Kean the focus of the supporters’ condemnation.The Lancashire outfit find themselves strapped to the bottom of the standings after 17 matches, and Yakubu, who has been in fine firing form with 10 goals already this term, has pleaded with the fans to show their support and help turn the club’s fortunes around.”For me, it’s hard,” he told The Independent. “It’s not good for us as players. We are all feeling it. There’s always pressure when you are not winning.”I’ve never, never been in a situation like this before in my life. Not since I’ve been playing football. Calling for the manager to leave, I don’t know what to say.”It’s shocking, but what can you do? The players aren’t talking about bringing in a new manager. We’ll just stick together and see how it goes.”We arrive at the game and say, ‘What is it going to be? Are the fans against us?’ We just plead that they stick with the team. The situation is not good for the players, it’s not good for the club.”They are our 12th man. We need them to help us achieve something for the club; to help move up from our position. We are not in a good situation, bottom of the League. We need them to be with us and fight together.”
