It's our responsibility to give our fans that hope and energy, but for sure we're gonna need them as well. I hope the fans come with optimism and understanding of what this group has been through and how they've come out of that. "I'd like to hope, well demand actually, the fans come and get behind this team. At times we've not really got a knockout and at other times we've hit the floor, but we're always in this. Get a result and suddenly it's a different story and others get brought into this."
