Dark Blues must trust in gaffer to give us a lift
ROARIE DEACON insists trust is key to Dundee moving off the foot of the Premiership table.
Neil McCann’s men head for on-form Hibs today aiming to stop a wretched run of results that has seen them suffer four straight defeats.
English winger Deacon said: “We just have to keep playing the way the gaffer wants us to play. I’m sure the goals will come soon.
“It’s about trusting in what we do.
“If the gaffer didn’t trust us in playing out from the back then we wouldn’t be doing it.
“We’ve got big strikers here who we could play it up to and fight for second balls. But that’s not the way the gaffer wants us to play.
“We just need to stick together as a team.
“We’re actually playing well so that’s the hard thing to take. That’s happened in many games.
“We’ve said it on numerous occasions that hopefully our luck will change in terms of putting the ball in the opponents’ net and keeping it out of our net.
“I’m sure it’s going to change for us.”
Dundee’s last two away days have brought narrow defeats at both Celtic and Partick Thistle but Deacon is refusing to despair.
He said: “We can take confidence from our last two away performances.
“At Celtic we played fantastically well. It was a great team performance.
“Against Partick Thistle we played well there too.
“It’s small mistakes that we’re making which is costing us. If we can just get those mistakes out of our game our luck will definitely change.”
