| The Dundee gaffer admitted the 2-1 defeat by the Jags was a hard one to take, but vowed his men would be re-focused for Saturday’s trip to face Queen of the South in the league.
“We are all disappointed to go out, especially as I thought we had the best chances,” said Alex.
“Mickael (Antoine-Curier) had the ball in the net in the first half and had a decent chance in the second, and I think, from open play, they created only one chance in 90 minutes
“I felt their first goal was a bit of a fluke, but when we equalised, I thought we were definitely on the front foot.
“But we’ve been caught on the counter-attack and a bit of bad defending has cost us. We know how stuffy teams can be at Dens, but we still look relatively solid at the back, so we have to keep things in perspective.
“We are still top of the league and now we have to dig in for what will be a tough game at the weekend at Dumfries.
“If we can win that one, it would give us a great foundation going into the international break.”
Defender Gary MacKenzie took a knock in the first half last night, but, like one or two others suffering from bumps and bruises, should be OK for the weekend. |
