SHANE DUFFY says Everton owe their supporters a reaction after Saturday’s disappointing draw with Blackburn Rovers.

David Goodwillie’s farcical equaliser ensured Steve Kean’s strugglers left Goodison Park with a deserved 1-1 draw, and means David Moyes’ men have won just three home league games all season.

Friday sees them welcome Fulham to Merseyside for a fourth round FA Cup tie, and Duffy, who made his home league debut against Blackburn, says the aim is to provide something to shout about for supporters.

“We were disappointed and felt we could have had all three points,” said the 20-year-old. “We should be taking them really in games like this, but sometimes it happens.

“We now have to get ourselves together and move on for Friday.

“It’s massive. (The fans) have not really had much to cheer this season, our home form has not been the greatest. Hopefully we can turn it around at some stage and kick on.”

Duffy has found himself catapulted into the first-team picture at Goodison recently, with Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin both sidelined by injury.

The Republic of Ireland U21 international enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at League One outfit Scunthorpe United earlier this season, and admits the experience has helped his development as a player.

“It definitely helped me,” he said. “It just gives you confidence really to go out and play. You feel you are improving each week, and coming back and playing with better players around you, it makes it a lot easier.

“When you are playing alongside a Dutch international (John Heitinga), it makes it a lot easier. He helps me a lot and so does Phil Neville. I can’t ask for much more if I am honest.”

Meanwhile, Everton’s home clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday March 10 has been moved to a 5.30pm kick-off, to allow for live television coverage.
