Defender Sean Ward admits Crusaders' players had "some strong words" following Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Coleraine .
Two Ben Doherty penalties saw the Bannsiders inflict a second loss of the season on the Crues.
The result also saw Coleraine leapfrog Crusaders to the top of the Irish Premiership table.
Ward insists Crusaders will bounce back from their second league defeat of the season.
"We had a good chat and some strong words with each other, but that's part and parcel of football," Ward said.
"If you ignore things that happen in a football match, you never move forward.
"We just have to roll our sleeves up. We are still in a good position."
