Norwich City captain Russell Martin says manager Chris Hughton has the full backing of the players.
Martin knows Hughton's own position at Carrow Road has been a routine topic during a frustrating season but he believes that comes with the territory in modern football.
"The responsibility doesn't just lie solely with the manager. He prepares us extremely well as players, he gives us a lot of trust and respect and it is up to us go out there and put in performances," he said. "He lets us share our opinions when it is going well and not so well and we enjoy coming into training.
"That is very important. People talk about pressure on managers but it is not just Norwich, it is every club in the Football League when you have a couple of poor results. It is a hard job, you are under scrutiny all the time but he manages to keep calm and if he is under pressure then he doesn't show it.
"As players we tend to cut ourselves off from all of it. If you focus on that it can drive you crazy but we know by performing we can make it easier on the gaffer and ease the pressure he is put under."
