Newcastle winger Damien Duff has admitted that the players must take some of the responsibly for Newcastle's bad form and that the blame should not be purely attributed to Sam Allardyce the manager.
Talking to the Daily Mail Duff said "It's a massive club, but you cannot just blame the gaffer. We are the ones out on the pitch, so we are all in it together.
"We are right behind him [Allardyce] and we just want to put it right for him. He cannot take all the flak.
"We are the ones on the pitch - so don't hammer him, hammer us. The players have to stand up and be counted as well."
"As far as I'm concerned, he's a brilliant manager. I get on great with him. Up until recently, I was buzzing to get back on the pitch and starting working for him - so from that point of view, he has been great for me.
"Now we just need to knuckle down and start getting positive results - because we owe it to him."
