Montrose determined to defy the odds again
Jade McLaren insists Montrose's togetherness is key as they bid to defy the odds again and survive in the Feroz's side ensured a third straight season in the top flight with a 4-0 win over Dundee United on the final day of last term and midfielder McLaren hopes for a less stressful route to safety in the new campaign, which kicks off on Sunday."We always knew it was going to come right down to the last day, and we're a team that don't give up," said McLaren."We'll go to the end, it doesn't matter who we're playing, and it was a nervy four minutes after we finished playing on the last day."Craig instils it in us, that we fight to the end. Every game we go into is a battlefield, and you leave everything on the pitch. Even if you're getting beat eight or 9-0, you still keep going and don't give up."There's just a real togetherness in the team, and everybody wants to fight for each other. Even with the new girls coming in over pre-season, it's how our team is built and what we strive to do."It's going to be a lot tougher this year. Our aim is just to stay as far away from relegation as possible. It's been two seasons in a row, and although it's fun, you've just got to hope that we can pick up points and try and stay away from it as best as possible."
