Peter Houston's side were below par in last night's Scottish Premier League match against the Accies, who had Portuguese strikers Flavio and Marco Paixao to thank for scoring the crucial goals.[LNB]Swanson told Press Association Sport: "It was an embarrassing performance. I don't think we strung two passes together the whole match. We deserved to get beat."[LNB]The 23-year-old cannot figure out why his side have been performing so poorly at home in recent weeks.[LNB]The Tangerines have only won once in their past six matches at home in the Scottish Premier League.[LNB]"When we play at Tannadice we don't seem to turn up," he said.[LNB]"We went 2-0 down to St Johnstone before coming back to get a point and we were two goals down before the break against Hamilton. We were all over the place at times.[LNB]"We need to start performing at home. I don't know what is going wrong as the fans give us brilliant support. Tonight was embarrassing though and it is no wonder the fans booed us off at half-time as I would have done the same. There is no excuse for it."[LNB]Hamilton striker Dougie Imrie is gunning for local rivals Motherwell after his side's impressive away win over United.[LNB]The former Inverness Caledonian Thistle player joined the Accies earlier this month and played an instrumental role as his new team got themselves off the bottom of the league table with the victory.[LNB]Imrie is now focused on facing Motherwell this Saturday after losing 1-0 to Craig Brown's men at Fir Park last weekend.[LNB]He told Press Association Sport: "I didn't think the Fir Park pitch helped either of the sides on Saturday.[LNB]"At our park it will be a different game and we will be able to get the ball down and pass it like we did against Dundee United.[LNB]"The way we passed the ball about at Tannadice was brilliant and I thought we fully deserved the three points.[LNB]"I thought the boys were up for it from first minute to the last. It shows we have a great team spirit to get out of the position we are in at the moment.[LNB]"We are three points ahead of Falkirk now so we need to keep that going.[LNB]"It will be another hard game on Saturday against Motherwell but we know what it will take to get a result.[LNB]"I'm sure if we play like that on Saturday we will get something from that game as well."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
