| The Dens Park gaffer feels his side needs a greater presence, especially in the forward areas, where they are struggling to make an impact in games.
“We have lost a couple of big lads in Tom Hutchinson and Adrian Madaschi, but we still have Bobby Mann, while I’m hoping Stuart McCluskey will be back in training tomorrow,” said Alan.
“We are also looking forward to Lee Wilkie getting back in action in the new year.”
“However, there is no denying we could do with a big striker, but I suppose everybody would like one in their team.
“Kevin McDonald gives us a bit of height in midfield, but he’s still young and needs to learn to be more aggressive when attacking the ball, especially in the air.
“Saying that, I’ve been really pleased how he has done so far this season.”
Young striker Craig O’Reilly will be back at Dens tomorrow after featuring for Scotland Under-19s in their 3-1 win in Portugal yesterday. Defender Mark Allison will remain with the national squad, who play a the second match of their double-header tomorrow. |
