Celtic manager Neil Lennon has revealed what was said in the dressing room after Thursday nights heavy 4-1 defeat against Sparta Prague.
As reported by the Daily Record, Lennon said he put it to the players asking them what the problem is with this squad going through an extremely poor spell, winning two games in the last nine.
“That is what I am scratching my head about. That’s the question I asked in the dressing room afterwards. Why have we gone the other way?
“I don’t know if it’s a lack of confidence in individuals or in the team themselves. I was asking them why we’re conceding goals? Are we lacking confidence in ourselves? Are we lacking that as a group?
“It was a conversation I put out to the players to get their opinions. We’re hoping, having spoken about it, they can galvanise themselves from that.”
The Northern Irishman mentioned in his comments that he hopes these talks can ‘galvanise’ this squad of players but how many times do we need to be saying that this season.
After every poor result, we seem to be encouraged that this could be used as a turning point, its got to a stage though that we can’t just keep saying that and having that hope. A club like Celtic can’t be relying on hope.
With the fixtures coming up, it will probably be seen as a favourable run for Lennon and his side, so again we will be hoping that we can go on a long winning run and build up the confidence as it is much needed at the time.
