Post-match comments from Italiano and Ferguson

Lewis Ferguson also spoke after the match: “It’s a difficult moment. We need personality off the pitch as well, and it takes real leadership to lift ourselves back up. We have to keep working every day the way we know how, and everyone needs to give something extra. It’s only a difficult spell – it happens in football, and we know that things can change quickly. The schedule is not an excuse: we deserve and want to play every three days, we’re professionals. We’re back in action on Saturday. We have to go to Como with our heads held high and step out there to fight for points.”
