Brewster focused on job in hand
 

PRESSURE POINTS — Dundee United boss CRAIG BREWSTER knows anything less than a win at Falkirk could cost him his job.

 
Under-pressure Dundee United boss Craig Brewster has ordered his players to ignore the speculation over his future and concentrate on nothing other than three points at Falkirk tomorrow (writes Tom Duthie).
Just two wins in 27 league games since January has left the axe hanging over the Tangerines manager and failure to win at the Falkirk Stadium looks certain to see it fall.

Today, though, Craig stressed that was a pressure he, and he alone, should live with and not something his players should be thinking about.

“At the end of the day, the boys are professionals with contracts to play for Dundee United. That’s what they are paid to do and I believe it’s what they will be focused on tomorrow,” he said.

“They need to get three points for the good of this club — that’s their job.”

And the manager stressed all his thoughts and efforts were on turning things round and getting a win that would almost certainly lift United off the bottom of the table.

“The fans are behind myself, the players and the club, and all I want is to get the right results, starting tomorrow.”
