(Reuters) - Stoke City's long-serving defenders Ryan Shawcross and Geoff Cameron have backed under-pressure manager Mark Hughes to turn things around at the struggling Premier League club.

A section of Stoke supporters have called for Hughes to be sacked following a woeful run of results with Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at Burnley marking the side's fourth loss in five games to leave them two points above the relegation zone in 15th.
