Manchester City coach Brian Kidd hopes England fans are patient with new manager Roy Hodgson.
Speaking at the launch of the "I Put My Shirt On It" initiative in Manchester on Wednesday, Kidd feels Hodgson should receive support from the game rather than condemnation.
"It has been very difficult for Roy," said Kidd.
"He has just taken over and the job is difficult enough without people passing comment.
"Everybody should get behind him and want the team to do well.
"It is very common to be judgmental in football but Roy has his own points of view. Everybody should back him."
