Captain Fabricio Coloccini has called upon Newcastle United supporters to "get right behind the players" on Saturday, as the Magpies face Hull City in the Barclays Premier League (3pm kick-off).
United will take to the St. James' Park pitch in search of their first league win of the season - at the fifth attempt - and Coloccini knows the importance of the Tyneside crowd's full backing.
"It will not be an easy game because Hull are a good team," the Argentine centre-back wrote in his captain's notes for this weekend's matchday programme.
"It is very important that you are right behind us and support the team and the players who are on the pitch.
"You want to win every game, just like us, and we all want the best for this football club.
"We are football fans too, so we understand that things can get frustrating. But please, support the team for 90 minutes inside the stadium. We need your support.
"We have a lot of new players and a young squad. They need your backing, a push from you and a positive atmosphere to get the best out of them.
"Hopefully, you can cheer us on to three points and that will give our season a real boost."
Saturday's official matchday programme will be available around St. James' Park on Saturday, costing £3. Alternatively, you can subscribe to our digital matchday programme by clicking here.
