Terry: Unhappy at booing

There's been a section of the fans that have been singling Frank out for a year. We don't like it. It left a bad taste in the dressing room after a very good win.

England captain John Terry wants supporters to stop barracking Frank Lampard.

The Chelsea midfielder has come under fire from fans recently, including Saturday's 3-0 win over Estonia after emerging off the bench.

Lampard is likely to play some part in Wednesday's crucial Euro 2008 qualifier with Russia and Terry says the squad want fans to get behind the team.

"After the game the players were speaking about it," Terry said on Sky Sports News.

"There's been a section of the fans that have been singling Frank out for a year. We don't like it. It left a bad taste in the dressing room after a very good win.

"We don't wish it to continue in the future and I'd urge all those fans to stop it and those fans around them not to jump in.

"Frank's been an awesome player for England over the years. He's not only played well, he's scored some great and very important goals. That's the message I'd like to get out."

Massive game

Although England secured a 3-0 over Russia in the corresponding fixture, Terry believes Guus Hiddink's side showed glimpses of class, so he knows Steve McClaren's men will need to be on their game in Moscow.

"It's going to be massive game in a very good stadium, against a very good side," he continued.

"I think they showed, even through we won 3-0 at Wembley, glimpses of what a good side they are.

"It's going to be a tough test for us and hopefully one we can come through, pick up the three points and qualify."
