Centre-half Toto Nsiala has issued a statement following last night’s game at Charlton, apologising for for what he felt was a misunderstanding which led to a confrontation with some supporters following the final whistle.
After the Blues’ 2-0 defeat had been confirmed, Nsiala became involved in a heated exchange with fans at the front of the Jimmy Seed Stand. Christian Walton sought to act as peacemaker before being shoved away by a supporter, who was subsequently dragged away by stewards as police moved the two Town players away from the incident.
Nsiala, 29, said in a statement issued via the club website: "Following last night’s game, I would like to applaud and thank the supporters for travelling in their thousands and paying their hard earned cash, especially at this time of year. "
"All of the lads and I fully appreciate the time and effort of the fans who support us up and down the country.
"Frustrations were high and I completely understand why, as that performance was not good enough.
"My intention was to acknowledge the supporters and tell them that we are doing all we can to put things right but unfortunately this did not come across how I intended.
"I apologise for the misunderstanding. I know the fans deserve more and I’ll be giving everything to deliver the performances and results that we can all be proud of.”
