John Sheridan has '100 per cent support from everyone at Chesterfield'

Sheridan returned to the Proact as manager in January after leaving Carlisle United.

The 54-year-old took over last season when Chesterfield were 22nd in the National League and guided them to 15th.

Expectations were high ahead of the new campaign but Town have failed to win a game in seven attempts.

Asked whether Sheridan still has backing of everyone at the club, Bean said: "Absolutely. John Sheridan has got 100 per cent support from everyone at this club and irrespective of what anyone says, thinks or does, nothing is going to change in that respect.

"I speak with John everyday and the coaching staff are absolutely hurting badly because of what has happened. The players are hurting. But I have every confidence that they will get it right and it will come right and at the end of the season hopefully we will be there or thereabouts."

"Now it is all about supporting the team for that 90 minutes on Saturday," Bean said. "Forget anything on the periphery. It is all about 90 minutes on Saturday supporting the team and if the unfortunate thing happens that we go behind then it is not a case of getting on the players backs it is about continuing to support them and driving them on. It is all about the team ethic and everybody sticking in there and pushing the players on to get the right result. "

On booing players, Bean added: "The last thing that any player wants is to hear the crowd booing because it does not matter what level you play at, if you hear that, then it does effect your confidence and it is important to the supporters, as it is for everybody else connected to the club, to support the team and push it on to hopefully a win.

"I understand the frustrations that supporters have when their team is not doing well and the criticisms that come but as a supporter, and I will reiterate that our supporters are extremely loyal supporters, I would urge them to continue to support the team on Saturday vocally to let the players know that they are there for them as are the players for the supporters."
