Pleat Silent On New Boss

Last updated : 09 May 2004 By Mad Reporter

Supporters called once again for him to resign during the match and were given something to shout about when they were chanting "Stand up if you want Pleat out" and of all people, Pleat stood up at the same time.

But Pleat said: "I am refusing to say anything about the managerial situation. I swear to God I didn't hear of the chanting. If they chant, they chant. I have done my best for the side.

"I asked for the fans to get behind the players whatever they think about me, because the players have earned their respect. I thought we deserved to win this game.

"It is nice to send the fans home with a win, but we should have had more points on the board from the last few home games."
