NEWSNOWGreen: Its not going to be easy Facing the Fans on Saturday!
Robert Green has failed to save 12 goals his games against Chelsea, Liverpool & Spurs and is ready to face criticism on the teams poor run of results.
‘We’ve had three bad results and everyone is going to get flak for it – we’re under no illusions about that,’
Green said.
‘But, if you look at it we’re in 10th place. If you look at where we were last year, it’s a massive step in the right direction.
‘We can go and do something about that between now and the end of the season.’
Some fans have left the ground early in the last three games and those who stayed chanted songs to make light of their poor form.
Supporters also want to see a more attacking game under Curbishley, although ending a run of defeats is the priority.
‘It can’t really get any worse. I can’t remember a week in football like it, nor can many of the other lads,’
Green said.
‘Come this Saturday against Blackburn it’s going to need some big characters to come out and face their own fans and put a performance in.
‘It’s a question of being professional about things and learning from it – and we’ve got a hell of a lot to learn from this week. I can understand the frustration with the performances that have been put in – it hurts because losing games like that are not what you associate with West Ham.
‘The lads are bitterly disappointed. Against Chelsea, it’s not fun to play the last 20 minutes with a half-empty ground.
‘Likewise at Spurs, the away end was only half-full in the last five minutes.’
