He said:
"I urge supporters to be calm because the eyes are on us and the last thing we need is to give the impression we are too hot to handle
"I understand the frustrations and anger amongst the fans but we need to show our passion is a positive thing and not negative. There is genuine interest in the club and we need your help to foster it. We need to get behind the team the manager and the club in the same way we did on the Leicester game where I believe you were responsible for the 3rd and 4th goals.
"I called for calm before that game and thank you for the response. I never dreamt in my lifetime I would ever see a fixture list where the 2 games after Saturday would be Newcastle and Chelsea. I urge you to keep the faith."
