| The trip to Central Park tomorrow night will be a trip down memory lane for Craig (below), who started both his playing career and time in management with the Blue Brazil.
Rather than looking back, however, today he was focusing on a tie he believes has the potential to be a lot tougher than it looks on paper.
“Cowdenbeath have started the season very well and if memory serves me they have lost just one game so far,” he said.
“They are top of their league and going well. We have to be aware of that and make sure our approach is right for this one.”
What that means is Craig will be looking for a repeat of what he got in the first half of Saturday’s draw at Motherwell — but absolutely not what was served up in the second.
“I thought we were the better team first half and, on chances, probably should have gone in at the break ahead,” he added.
“What happened in the second, I can’t quite put my finger on, but we were not good enough and we have to make sure that does not happen tomorrow.”
By the final whistle, United had goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska to thank for their share of the spoils and Craig believes the Pole’s display was another sign he’s emerging as a top performer.
“Lukasz had a very good game and he is coming on.
“His penalty save was a crucial moment in the game and it should give him a lot of confidence.”
United have no serious injury problems going into tomorrow and wide man Craig Conway is set to return to the squad after missing out at the weekend through illness. |
