England coach Steve McClaren was given a cautious vote of
confidence from English Football Assocation chief executive Brian
Barwick in the aftermath of his side's defeat in Russia,

McClaren's side slumped to a 2-1 defeat in Moscow on
Wednesday that leaves England on the verge of elimination from the
race to qualify for UEFA EURO 2008 and the manager facing a fight
to save his job.
With England's fate not definitely sealed Barwick, who was
instrumental in McClaren's appointment, was inevitably keen to
give his public support to his coach. But he stopped short of
saying McClaren would remain in charge regardless of whether or not
England make it to next year's finals.
"We know we are not in the position in this group that we
would like to be. I think everybody accepts that,

told Sky Sports News. "We need other people to do a job for us
but Steve has to get on with his job and we are behind him of
course.
"The real issue at the moment is just to gather our
thoughts after the last five days of football and then push it on
into the Croatia match. Yes, we need help from elsewhere but of
course we are behind Steve,

"Steve has to concentrate on England against Croatia and I
know he will. We will be there supporting him,

mix, although we have to be realistic. We would love to have done
it off our own back, but there is a lot of football to be
played."
Sol Campbell produced a battling display at centre-back in
Moscow but was unable to stem the tide of Russian attacks. The
Portsmouth defender admits England had only themselves to blame for
the defeat.
"It was not a happy dressing room because we let ourselves
down a little bit,

look after ourselves and we have got to beat Croatia and hope
everything else takes care of itself. It's not in our hands
now,

"We needed to win, or not lose, and now we have got to look
out for other results. Sometimes in the game our concentration
slipped a little bit and they (Russia) have capitalised.
"We had some chances to finish it or get it back, but it
just really didn't go our way."
