| You have to go back to the beginning of March for the Tangerines’ last win at home and so concerned is boss Ian McCall that he’s even considered drafting in a sports psychologist to get to the bottom of the problem.
Wilson agrees something has to be done to remedy the situation, but struggles when it comes to providing an explanation for the poor home form.
“It’s something you can’t put your finger on. I don’t know if we feel under more pressure at home, but it’s hard to explain how we can go to places like Partick, Aberdeen, Livingston and Hibs and get good results, but not do it here,” he said.
“I think part of it has been bad luck and there have been a few home games where the breaks have gone against us, but we still know our record here should be better. And whatever the reason is, we have to start winning games at Tannadice so we can climb to where we want to be in the league.”
Against a Celtic outfit who have been sweeping aside all before them, Wilson admits that’s not going to be easy.
He’s making no rash predictions about the outcome of tomorrow’s lunchtime date, though he does stress United won’t be afraid of the Hoops’ recent good form.
“Almost every time you play them they are in the middle of a good run because they have so many good players they win most of their games. Recently, though, they do seem to be beating everyone about 5-0 and you have to respect that. We will, but we will go out and give our best.” |
