“We understand the frustration of our people and our supporters, but what I have to say is that if we fight unitedly with them, we can win the game, compete and achieve our goals. It is impossible without them,” Pereira said at the post-match press conference.
“If we get two or three wins in a row, things will change.
“Two months ago they called my name because with what we did last season we are competing in the Premier League and not the Championship. Now they are calling my name to fire me.
“If I were a supporter, I would be proud of my team because they showed the spirit, mentality and ambition to win the game despite being 2-0 down (after 30 minutes).”
