'Go at them from start' - Dhanda calls for more Dundee urgency

Yan Dhanda has urged Dundee to come out firing against St Mirren and avoid another slow start as they chase a much-needed victory.

Steven Pressley's men are on a four-game losing streak and have conceded at least one first-half goal in their past three games.

Midfielder Dhanda, who is on loan from Hearts, said: "Second half against Hibs we have a right go, against Rangers we have a right go, but I just think we need to start doing it from the start and not when we go a goal down.

"It's going to be a difficult game. I've played against St Mirren a lot of times and it's never easy.

"They're very organised, they have a good coach and they have a lot of good players who fight for each other. That's what you have to do for three points.

"We know it's going to be a difficult game but we have to start well. I think the second half of games we've been really good but we've been one or two goals down.

"We need to do it from the start and really attack St Mirren. We know it's going to be difficult but we have to focus on us and go at them from the start."
