Hull City midfielder Robert Koren admits he hopes the tension can ease in the rebranding row.
Hull fans plan protests for their game with Stoke City after club owner Assem Allam made a formal application to change their name to 'Hull Tigers'.
"I just think everyone needs to respect each other. People need to make a decision now and they will make a decision," Koren told the Hull Daily Mail.
"At the end of the day, we are players and need to do our jobs on the field. We just hope the fans support us and do the right things, as they have been doing so far, to give us this extra lift and energy. That always matters.
"The fans are doing a great job and we are pleased with that. Hopefully, we can play good football. Then it's easier for everybody.
"There was only one game we messed up which was the Crystal Palace home game.
"That's the game we need to forget and learn from. The home form is brilliant and hopefully we can keep that going and pick up some points away from home because that is really important in this league as well."
