| “Saturday’s result was a huge disappointment for us, especially after starting the game so well,” he said today.
“However, we cannot allow that result to fester.
“We’ve got just under a fortnight to our next game (v. Aberdeen at Pittdorie), so it will be hard work on the training field.
“We must have self-belief and show some real character. That’s what I’ll be trying to instil in my players.”
Player-coach Owen Coyle, who came on as a second-half substitute against Motherwell, also saw action against their U/21s last night.
The former Airdrie and Falkirk man netted twice and boosted his chances of a first-team start, although the manager was giving little away on that front.
“Owen missed a chance on Saturday, but he bounced back with a winning double last night in the 2-0 win.
“He’s in my thoughts for Pittodrie, but we’ll see.”
The injuries to Charlie Miller, Scott Paterson and Collin Samuel are causing concern at Tannadice, and all three will see a specialist this week. |
