Newcastle United boss John Carver says he is sick of being "abused" by supporters for the mistakes of his players.The club have been dragged into the Premier League relegation zone after 7 consecutive losses, the latest of which was a 3-2 defeat to Swansea City at St James' Park on Saturday.
The boss who has repeatedly been heckled by the club's fans,has now called on stewards to do more to stop those supporters who wish to chastise him.
"I am not going to stand out there and be abused during the game. The football club has got to do something about it," .
"Sometimes it is quite difficult to actually stand in that technical area and get abused the way I was abused without any protection from the sidelines.
"Just totally getting abused throughout the whole of the second half and I am not accepting that. I don't think it is right. No-one should put up with that.
"We have got stewards there, and some of them just watch the game. They expect me to put the ball in the net, stop the headers going in, stop the opposition from scoring. I can't affect that.
"I can't get on the end of the corner and head the ball clear, which would have kept us one up at half-time. I can't do that."
Carver even went as far as to attempt to explain his side's performance to two abusive fans at the weekend, and he says he would like to meet the pair again.
"I'd like to see those two guys again and explain to them why I have had to do what I have done," he said.
"I think if they sat with me and understood where I was coming from they would understand the whole situation, but when they are blaring at you for 45 minutes it is very difficult."
