Keogh Will Battle On

Posted on: Mon 24 Mar 2008

Andy Keogh has insisted he will not be distracted by negative chanting from some sections of the crowd.

The striker, who scored two goals in Wolves' three-all draw with QPR on Saturday, was subject to calls from some fans to be replaced by Freddy Eastwood. The chanting started after he had scuffed an earlier effort wide.

Other sections of the crowd responded with positive singing of Keogh's name.

The former Scunthorpe forward says: "Any stick I get doesn't bother me in the slightest and if that happens I just do it for myself and the team.

"You could say it's because everyone is so keen for us to do well but I don't think it should be done to any players.

"There should be chants for the players that are out there on the pitch and when decisions are made to change things there should be chants for the players coming on.

"You don't need negativity, none of us do, but the lads in the squad are strong enough to block it out.

"It was nice to then hear people looking out for me and it's nice to get that backing but we need the whole team to have the backing of everyone.

"If you make a mistake you don't want the fans on your back, it's not been meant, it just happens sometimes.

"It can't be a case of if you miss a chance then get someone else on, or if a tackle is missed get another midfielder on.

"We all know how great our home crowd can be and we saw it again when we were fighting back and they were right with us.

"The (equalising) goal was down to them getting behind us.

"We just need more of it because there are certain sections which like to be negative.

"Maybe that won't change but if it did there could be a much better atmosphere."
