NEW Burnley star Mo Camara is not happy being crowned crowd favourite unless the Clarets are winning games.
The Guinean defender has quickly become a Turf Moor cult hero following a string of impressive displays at left back this season.
Camara's rampaging runs down the left wing and his never-say-die approach have instilled him as a hit with fans young and old.
But the former Wolves ace would rather hear praise ringing out from the stands for Stan Ternent's team turning on the style and improving their league standing.
Camara said: "If you are working hard, people like that and I appreciate the supporters getting right behind me.
"I feel I have been playing well, but that is no good unless the team is winning.
"The fans have been really good to me, but I want them to be happy for the team when it is playing well and climbing the table, not just for me.
"We are just having some bad luck at the moment, otherwise I feel we could be much higher."
Camara, who has been an ever-present since his summer switch from Molineux, feels he has settled quickly into his new surroundings.
Burnley boss Stan Ternent has also been fulsome in his praise for the 28-year-old, who was expected to keep up appearances against Bradford at Turf Moor today.
And Camara has pledged to maintain his high work ethic to continue to impress Ternent and his team mates.
The French-speaking defender added: "I like to go forward and I see that as an important part of my job.
"When I signed for Burnley the gaffer told me to get forward at every opportunity and not to worry.
"Whatever the gaffer wants is fine by me because I have come to Burnley to play football and my job is to play where he asks me and do what he asks.
"I feel I have a good relationship with him because he has asked me to work hard.
"When you are working hard he is happy because I don't think he likes lazy boys!"
