Cadden: It’s About Mentality
Chris Cadden admitted that it’s all about mentality for Hibs this weekend as we take on Dundee.
The Hibees currently sit bottom of the William Hill Premiership table, but are only four points off fourth-placed Dundee.
When speaking ahead of this Saturday’s match, Cadden put the emphasis on the playing squad to show what they can do.
“It’s been a tough start to the season, but we’re trying to look ahead; that’s been the main focus.
“We wanted a game to come as quickly as possible, but we had the international break. We want to rectify the season and get it going. We’ve had a good bit of training done, and full focus is on tomorrow, which is important.
“We know results and performances haven’t been good enough. You have to look at yourself and ask yourself whether you’ve done enough.
“Tomorrow it’s about mentality. The gaffer can do formations, whatever he wants to play, it doesn’t matter unless our mentality is right. It’s going to be a tough game, but our mentality has to be spot on.”
The William Hill Premiership table is incredibly tight at the moment, and the right-back is aware that one win, could change the whole complexion of the season.
“We have to keep going, don’t lose faith, and to try and force a change. No-one will give you three points. You have to take it from them.
“You need to have that attitude, and show a fight and desire; that’s minimum when you represent a club like Hibs. It’s down to us as players to do that ourselves.
“It’s a big week starting with tomorrow. It’s an opportunity to turn the season around and kick start the season. We want to look back and say, Dundee away that’s when the season really kicked off for us. We have to take full advantage of this opportunity.”
