Frenchman looking for win when Falkirk visit
luck because it is a long season and they have played good football to get to second.
“It will be a good test but we believe we can meet it.”
If United can better the Bairns, victory when Dunfermline visit on Tuesday night could put Ray McKinnon’s team into second spot.
Edjenguele is well aware of that but superstition stops him discussing the prospect in any detail.
“Don’t be saying that to me. So often when people do it is a jinx, so I don’t want to talk about it.
“I know footballers say it all the time but we must take one game at a time and look no further than Falkirk.
“If we can win, then we can think about where we are if we win the next — but not before.”
While three points tomorrow would put a smile on t he big defender’s face, he’ll only be satisfied if victory comes with a clean sheet.
There hasn’t been one in the last nine games and, while he’s staying calm about that, it’s fair to say that statistic doesn’t please him.
“It’s more complicated than saying it is just down to the defence but as a defender I am not happy about that.
“The most i mportant thing is always to win games but, as a defender, my job is to try to help us get clean sheets.
“So if we win I will be happy but, if we have lost a goal, I will be looking to see where we could have done better.
“As long as you are playing that should be the case — you should never stop looking to improve.”
