10 or will it be 20 points?At the mome

Tim Howard feels criticism aimed at Everton boss Roberto Martinez this season should more have been directed at the clubs players.Saturdays 2-1 win over Bournemouth was marred by protests towards the Spaniard, with more than 100 fans remaining inside Goodison Park after the game finished to continue their demonstration.Everton had not won since their FA Cup quarter-final victory over Chelsea on March 12, a stretch of seven games, and Martinezs style of play has been the subject of criticism from supporters. Martinez calm amid fan protests Everton boss Roberto Martinez calm amid fan protests But his players have escaped the worst of that and Howard feels that is unfair on Martinez, whose side are next in action against title-chasing Leicester on Saturday.Everyone talks about the manager but he hasnt kicked one ball this season, said the United States goalkeeper, who is leaving Everton at the end of the season to join MLS side Colorado Springs. Everton supporters flew a banner from a plane protesting against manager Martinez during their sides win over Bournemouth It is down to us as players. We are the ones who have to be resilient and dig in. If that hasnt been good enough, fair dos. We have to take that on the chin. The table doesnt lie.Everyone is entitled to their opinion so I dont want to comment on plans and banners but we have to kick the ball, try to save it, try to score. Martinez has come under increased pressure because of a winless run of seven games that ended on Saturday Whatever happens on the outside is where the game has gone, whether that is right or wrong people have a right to voice their opinion and that is what people do.Every manager needs to be given time. People cant have it both ways. Often you get everyone outside of a club talking about players who are not loyal but it works the other way too.People need to be given time when they come to a club - players, managers, the board, it is no different. Everton old boys talk about the current situation at Goodison and the mounting pressure on Roberto Martinez Howard bristled at suggestions Martinez had lost sections of the Everton dressing room, taking it as an insult to their professionalism.I love this club and I feel it is the greatest club I have ever played for but we have no divine right to win games and we have to roll up our sleeves and dig in, and we havent done that enough, he added.When you play professional sports you are open to criticism good and bad and I always say you are never as good or bad as people say you are. Everton held a tribute to the 96 Liverpool fans who lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster before their game with Bournemouth One thing I can assure everyone is we are going to work and we try our tails off to win football matches, no-one chucks it in. I think as senior players you try to protect the younger ones because theyve not seen it before but Im an old dog and Ive seen it all before.No criticism fazes me; not from the media, outside sources or social media. It is just words. We have to go to work every day and try to get it right. It isnt fantastic and we will try to reel off three more wins and try to get ourselves up the table.Also See:Martinez calm amid protestsSupplement on MartinezHowe plays down Everton linkBaines earns Everton winCheap Brewers Jerseys . -- Hunter Smith scored the winner with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period as the Oshawa Generals edged the host Sarnia Sting 5-4 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book.Tony Cascarino believes Celtic will be celebrating five titles in a row come May, but is less convinced Ronny Deila will be there to lead their assault on Europe next season.The champions saw their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership cut to three points following a 2-1 defeat at Aberdeen on Wednesday, but Sky pundit Cascarino says it will have little bearing on the destination of the title.The former Republic of Ireland striker, who scored four goals in 24 games for the Hoops in 1991-92, insists they have deep problems to address before the start of the next campaign. Andy Walker, like Cascarino a former Celtic striker, called for Parkhead chief executive Peter Lawwell to act immediately and axe the Norwegian following the Pittodrie loss, claiming there is no evidence he can win big games.Despite the defeat, Celtic, who were six points ahead of the Dons at the same stage last season before going on to win the league by 17, remain as low as 1-40 with the bookmakers to retain their title. Aberdeens Simon Church celebrates his goal Speaking to Sky Sports Now, Cascarino said: They will win the title but the problem is deeper. If you go back to the Champions League qualification and the Europa League, they were a huge disappointment for the club.Obviously losing to Ross County and Aberdeen was bad but it was the manner of the defeats. I watched a bit of it last night and it didnt feel like Celtic, so Ronny Deila is under serious pressure... but they will win the league.He is under pressure and I dont think that pressure will go away. I think they will make a change in the summer.Celtic missed out on the group stages of the Champions League for the second successive season, losing in the play-offs to Swedish champions Malmo, and after dropping into the Europa League failed to register a victory in any of their six matches.Deilas standing with the fans dropped noticeably following their poor showing on the continent and Sundays defeat at Hampden, which put paid to their dreams of a domestic treble, had a section of supporters calling for his head on social media. Gordon looks to escape the clutches of Schalk in the build-up to Countys second goal Despite going through January unbeaten - including an 8-1 home win over Hamilton which helped earn Deila the manager of the month award - Wednesdays reverse at Pittodrie did little to lighten the mood and Cascarino believes Celtic must now put 20 points between themselves and Derek McInnes side for this campaign to be considered a success.ddddddddddddecause of the success of previous managers going back to Martin ONeill, some of the results they have had this season, they are not even matching the smaller clubs in Europe, he added.They have been beaten by some average teams they are expected to beat so winning the league by 20 points (would be acceptable). I know it sounds crazy, but its not about winning the league - its about winning by how many.They havent even got Rangers to compete against them. They are far bigger than any other team in Scotland, apart from Rangers who arent playing against them at the moment. Callum McGregor reacts after Celtics Europa League defeat to Ajax I say it will probably be even tougher for them next year because Rangers will probably go up and that will mean their biggest rival will be playing against them and make the two clubs competitive again.As for the league, its a no-brainer. If you look at the bookies before the start of the season, Celtic are so far odds-on its by how many, not if they will win the league. Will it be 10 or will it be 20 points?At the moment, they are three points clear of Aberdeen which is a poor return for what Celtic have within their group. They just look like a team that is a bit low and it needs freshening up... and I think that will happen.Celtic continue their bid for a domestic double this weekend when they face Lowland League side East Kilbride in the fifth round of the William Hill Scottish Cup at Broadwood Stadium.Also See:Deila defiant after defeatDons close the gapWalker: Sack Deila nowBet ￡5 get ￡20 free ' ' '
