“They’ve been excellent,” Moore said on the fans. “They’ve got behind the team and drove the team on.

“I’ve made it clear to the boys, when they work hard like that and go about their business like that, you can hear them fro the stands.

“I’ve told them to put in performances that deserve their appreciation because they will stand with you and go with them all the way.

Moore went on to say he was especially grateful to supporters given they have turned up to put their hands in their pockets in what is traditionally a difficult month.

He said: “I’m so grateful for them because five home games in a month is a massive commitment financially, especially coming off the back of Christmas, so we appreciate all the support they’ve given us.”
