Marshall: I’m Sorry

The 21-year-old winger was involved in an unfortunate verbal exchange with a small number of the 2,000 travelling fans during the second half at Oakwell.

Ben told lcfc.com: “In the heat of the game, I lost my composure and reacted in a way that was unacceptable, which I truly regret. I let myself, my team mates and the supporters down and unreservedly apologise for any offence I may have caused.

“We’ve set high standards as a squad this season and we share the frustrations of the fans that, as a team, we haven’t performed as well as we should have in recent weeks.

“We’re working hard to put that right in our last six games, starting at Brighton on Saturday, but I realise that we have to stick together as a Club to make it happen – players, staff and supporters.

“The fans have been amazing this season, both at home and away, and we’re going to need them over the coming games so I hope they stay behind us.”
