    We need to completely change our mind set when playing away from, set up to be more defensive and hit on the counter for as much as we look unbeatable at home we're the absolute opposite away. Have we ever won a game since being down here by being physically stronger or out fouling a team? or out yellow carding a team?

    Playing games at Tannadice is looking after themselves but we really need to toughen up away from home or the only league we're winning is the fair play one

    We always out yellow card a team, usually through incompetent refereeing. Dunfermline kicked us off the park at Tannadice and yet we still amassed more bookings! Falkirk won the foul count last week, but again we got more bookings!

    High yellow count is simple. When a wee gangly light player fouls a big hulking brute it looks much worse and therefore gets the yellow immediately, big guy on small guy looks like a simple brush off.

    Our midfield is so lightweight in every term you can imagine that there is no real forward service and too much weight put on the back 4. The midfield should be finding spaces when the back 4 has the ball, but they dally around and let the marker win.

    Our movement off the ball is second to everyone!
