Fraser annoyed by claims Leith men should’ve won
There’s good reason to believe United will be just as strong at the back in this meeting of the league’s top two.
The last five games have seen their rearguard breached on just one occasion — in the 4-1 victory down at Queen of the South at the beginning of the month.
The aim on Friday will be to maintain that miserly form and Fraser is also keen to see good work at the other end of the park.
“The defence has been doing great and that’s important if you are going to do well.
“Even if you don’t win a match, you must make sure you don’t lose it and that’s what we’ve been able to do at places like Morton last week.
“It was a frustrating game for us because I felt we deserved to win it. Especially in the last half-hour or so, I thought we battered them.
“We didn’t win but we made sure we didn’t lose and that keeps us high in the table.
“It’s Hibs now and, if we put in the kind of performance at the back as we have done in most of our games in the last couple of months, I think we have a good chance.
“This time it’s at Tannadice, so we will be looking to be on the front foot more. We’ll be wanting to take the game to them.
“Don’t get me wrong, with the squad Hibs have they are rightly promotion favourites and this will be a tough game. But we are confident, all the boys are confident because we are on a good run.”
