Newcastle skipper Coloccini: Players right behind Carver

Newcastle United captain Fabricio Coloccini says the players are right behind manager John Carver.

Newcastle meet Stoke City this weekend.

Coloccini told the Evening Chronicle: "I tell you, we trust in the staff we have now. We are with them. We are going to push on all together.

"When John took over it was not the best situation for us. We were losing but now it is different. We have picked up a result.

"All the players are working very hard during the week on tactics and shape and I think we showed that on the pitch in the second half against Hull.

"We took advantage of the space they left when we counter-attacked.

"We know John and the staff.

"We have confidence in them and it is important the players have confidence. We are going to work together."
