Get Tannadice ‘rocking’ urges full-back Smith

FULL-BACK Liam Smith has vowed to get Tannadice “rocking” again tomorrow as Dundee United look to keep up their 100% home record against Queen of the South.

The Tangerines welcome the Doonhamers on the back of six straight home league wins and are unbeaten at Tannadice in their past 10, winning nine.

On top of that, last week’s derby victory made it four victories on the bounce with no goals conceded.

Smith told the Tele: “Having 7,000 fans turn up every Saturday, if we get them on our side and get the place rocking, it gives us a massive advantage and makes it difficult for the other team.

“We have won every game there so far, so it’s already difficult for teams to come to Tannadice but, if the fans are on our side, it only adds to that.

“We know if we get the first goal and give the whole place a lift we can go on and get two or three.

“It’s been really enjoyable playing at Tannadice at the moment and we need to keep that going.”

The Tangerines are full of confidence right now after seeing off their nearest rivals Dundee last time out with a convincing 2-0 victory.

On top of that, chasing teams Ayr United and Inverness Caley Thistle fell to defeat.

With Arbroath v Morton the only other Championship clash on the card tomorrow, United have the chance to open up a nine-point lead at the top of the division.

And Smith is determined to keep the good times coming.

He added: “The place is buzzing this week, not just from the win at Dundee but the run of results we’ve had.

“Confidence is high and there’s a good mood around the place.

“It was a good weekend – the derby win kicked it off and then the results last Saturday went our way.

“It was good to see but we are concentrating on ourselves because we know, if we keep winning games, teams need to catch us and we put pressure on them.

“It is three points at the end of the day but winning tomorrow will open up a gap for us.

United’s home crowds have averaged more than 8,500 this season.
