Dempsey backs under-pressure Hughes
Fulham striker Clint Dempsey insists manager Mark Hughes has the backing of the club's players.
The Cottagers' 1-1 home draw with Birmingham on Saturday left them only one point above the Barclays Premier League relegation zone.
Hughes has overseen just two victories in 15 league fixtures since succeeding Roy Hodgson, who guided the club to the Europa League final last term before leaving for Liverpool.
Dempsey admits levels of expectation amongst Fulham supporters has grown off the back of Hodgson's success, but the American insists the squad has not lost faith in Hughes.
"We believe in the manager - and we can only keep working for him," Dempsey told the Fulham and Hammersmith Chronicle.
"It's not wrong of fans to expect more. After last season, we've come to expect more of ourselves."
