Hibernian manager John Collins admitted that there had been some dressing room unrest in the build-up to the Scottish FA Cup semi-final goalless draw against Dunfermline Athletic.
Collins was speaking after his side earned a second bite of the cherry against the Pars, with the replay scheduled for a week on Tuesday.
He said: "You are learning all the time. I've learned who I can trust and who I can't trust and I only want what's best for the players.
"Whenever I ask them to do something, it's for their benefit, they get the rewards in the end, they all know that.
"Maybe they let that slip through their minds during the week, but deep down they know whatever I ask them to do is for their benefit as individuals and a collective unit.
"We've had a difficult week, there was a lot of pressure on the players, but they've responded. They stuck together."
