Our live BT Sport game this week at Dens Park fell victim to the elements when Hurricane Frank left its mark. “It’s what we expect of ourselves and it’s the level we set every single day in training”. But I am not happy because we came here to try to win the game.
“We’re a very good team ourselves, we’ve proven that at the back end of last season and we’re halfway through this season and we’re still up there in the mix”. The individual players within that side are very effective.
