JIM WANTS MORE OF THE SAME
Dundee boss Jim Duffy has urged his men for more of the same when Kilmarnock visit Dens on Saturday (writes Graeme Finnan).
The Dark Blues have picked up only one point in their last two games, but the manager feels if his side can match those performances in terms of commitment and attitude, then the next few fixtures could prove more fruitful.

Jim Jefferies’ Killie are up first, but, despite the fact Dundee turned in one of their best performances of the season in beating the Rugby Park side 3-1 at Dens earlier in the campaign, Jim is taking nothing for granted.

“That game doesn’t matter now,” he said.

“What interests me more is that we play with the same commitment and attitude we have shown in our last two matches against Rangers and Aberdeen.

“We may not have been playing silky soccer in those games, but what we have shown is our desire and determination.

“If we can add a bit of football to that spirit, then it’s a bonus. But, if we continue with the same attitude, then we have half a chance.”

Long-term injuries apart, Jim has a healthy squad from which to choose, although the manager will check on the fitness of Trinidad and Tobago defender Brent Sancho when he returns from international duty on Friday.
