Gray Previews Aberdeen Clash
Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray believes Tuesday night’s game against Aberdeen is all about mentality for his playing squad.
This is the Hibees’ game in-hand in the William Hill Premiership and an opportunity to get off the foot of the league table.
When speaking to Hibs TV, Gray insisted that the players
“The quick turnaround is a good thing. We don’t have any time to feel sorry for ourselves.
“Mentally we need to be right, recover quickly, and do everything we possibly can to make sure we change our results on Tuesday night.
“The biggest thing and the biggest message to the players is that during these difficult times, they have to work harder in the areas we’ve been letting ourselves down. The noise won’t go away until results and performances start improving.
“Tactically we will make sure the players are ready, but they need to be strong enough, roll their sleeves up, put their chest out and believe we can turn this around.”
Aberdeen have been in excellent form this season and currently sit second in the league table. However, they do come into this one off the back of a defeat.
“It’ll be a difficult game,” said Gray. “They lost their last game, which was their first loss in a while, so they’ll want to get back on the pitch as quickly as they can as well.
“We are only focusing on what we can do. It’ll be a tough game, they have talented individuals, but our players will be ready for the challenge. We have to stand up to the challenge and make sure we do everything we can to beat our opponent.”
