Monty on the Celtic game
“I want to see a reaction from last week’s result. There were a lot of positives to take out of the game, but I want to see us evolve as a team and to see us develop. One thing that let us down was the transition defensively and switching off in key moments. We made basic errors as a team in terms of our defensive structure, so we’ve worked hard to fix that because against the top teams you can’t guess, you have to do it right all of the time because the moment you switch off, you’ll get punished; that’s what happened last week. There were a lot of learnings from last week for myself and for the team, and I’m one that learns from defeats. We move on this weekend and we’re really looking forward to the game.”
Ritchie's view
He's saying all the right things, but we all know that the players he's dealing with find it difficult against the top teams (and top budgets).
And, HB, you're even more pessimistic than I am, but probably right.
