Matthew Upson has said it is up to the players to give the fans something to shout about when Stoke City arrive at the Boleyn Ground this afternoon.
The club captain was speaking while taking part in a special club Community Sports Trust event with local youngsters at the club's Beckton training centre. Upson and manager Gianfranco Zola gave up an afternoon to work with the kids in the Barclays-backed initiative on Thursday - a full report of which will appear on whufc.com and in the matchday programme soon.
While the skipper knows the club are in desperate need of a result, he said the players would not shirk the challenge in front of them. "I am glad and happy to be at a club that has that desire and passion from the supporters.
"We have to deal with it. It is a test for us players, we need to be strong and focused on what we are good at and what we are doing. The fans are entitled to their point of view and we have to deliver for them to get excited. That is our responsibility."
