McGowan hopes Dark Blues can bounce back at Queens
myself, need to start scoring goals and taking our chances.
“I felt last week when we got the win at Alloa, it was a good chance coming to Morton to go on a wee run but we need to start again.”
Defeat at Morton leaves Dundee in sixth spot, seven points behind joint-leaders Dundee United and Ayr.
If they are to have any ambitions of winning promotion this season, McGowan knows they must pick up all three points on Friday. However, the veteran midfield man insists they are only focusing on their own results.
“We just can’t worry about what United are doing because there are some other good teams in this league and we’re finding that out just now.
“We just need to try to find a way of playing that suits us and stick to it.
“We’ve got great footballers in the team but we need to try to mix it up as well.
“It’s a hard one to take because we were the better team on Saturday. When you lose a goal like that and go home with no points, everybody looks at the result and we know it’s a bad result.
“But we’ll stick together and it’s back to the drawing board.”
McGowan also feels the addition of Graham Dorrans can aid the Dee’s ambitions this season.
“He’s a quality player and he’ll add to what we’ve got,” he added.
“I think the team will enjoy playing with him and the younger ones will learn a lot off him.
“It’s a great signing for the club and can only benefit us as a team when we get him match fit.
“When he gets his sharpness back I think it will all click in.”
