BETTER FORM YET TO COME
As pleasing as Saturday’s win over Hearts was, Dundee United boss Craig Levein today warned the rest of the SPL — there’s more to come (writes Graeme Finnan).
The Tannadice gaffer was delighted with the 3-0 victory over the Jambos, which saw the Tangerines make it three wins on the trot without conceding a goal.

However, while pleased with the display, Craig wasn’t allowing it to mask the fact he still believes his men are below where they should be at present.

He said, “I was pleased with the way we played, but, obviously, more pleased with the three points.

“We got a result at Aberdeen the previous week, but the performance was a bit scrappy and, although we were better on Saturday, there is definitely still more to come from us.

“There are still new players in the team who are fitting in and have to find their feet. We’ve not managed to get the best out of everybody yet, so we’re not getting carried away or going to go overboard about the win.

“What I was delighted about was winning in front of our own fans. We owe them more than one for the way they’ve stuck with the team when we weren’t getting results earlier in the season.”

Meanwhile, United will attempt to make it four wins on the bounce when they welcome Inverness Caley to Tannadice at the weekend.

And Craig is anticipating nothing more than an extremely hard 90 minutes. “It’ll be a very hard game against Caley. On Saturday, they had a fantastic result against Kilmarnock, who had been flying high, and it just goes to show you can’t take anything for granted in this league.”

United’s Warren Feeney is in the Northern Ireland squad for World Cup games versus Slovenia on October 11 and San Marino on October 15 (See Page 27).
