"So, yes, we're very angry with ourselves, but at the same time, I thought we should have won the game," Johnson told journalists after the game.
"I can tell you that my players are in the dressing room and they are actually arguing with each other because these are the things that we know we should do better, but not to be today."
This website did a follow-up on this development and it appears the emotions from the players were not merely on the game but that there is a tension in the camp and among the players that has been building up.
This publication can exclusively reveal there is currently a division among the Chiefs players, with a few elements affecting the mood and spirit in camp.
"Look, there's a lot of things happening at Chiefs right now, the morale is low, some players will go out this season, they'll have to buy new ones," a source close to the situation told KickOff.
"The whole thing about Luke Fleurs, it's a bit of a challenge. They are all frustrated because things are not going their way, the results are not forthcoming.
"Also, the players, some of them a very hurt with the whole Luke Fleurs thing, it's just ... how can I say? It's a mess at the moment there. The players are not positive, others are trying, so they are gonna fight among each other," the source continued.

"I think for them the best would be for the season to come to an end right now so they can regroup and refocus. But, ja, there's a lot of internal things among the players, it's not working. No one is happy," the source said.
