Samuel: fans must 'stay behind us'
Bolton Wanderers, 16:44, December 2, 2009 ,
Bolton full-back Jlloyd Samuel has called on the club's fans to show their support as the Wanderers enter the crucial festive period.
The Reebok faithful have been critical of boss Gary Megson and the way he chooses to play his football over the course of the season, with the Whites slipping into the bottom three increasing the pressure on the Bolton manager.
However, Samuel sees the month of December, in which 24 points are up for grabs, as a crucial period for the Wanderers and has urged the clubs supporters to get behind the team.
"The fans more than ever have got to stay behind us," the defender told the Bolton News. "By them criticising us, it isn't going to help at all.
"We are sticking together, staying positive and have got a game against Wolves to look forward to now.
"Every game is a big game in the Premier League because no-one gives you an easy ride.
"But we have got a big December against teams in and around ourselves, so we have got to look to capitalise on that as best as we can."
