Conway takes positives from draw
Conway's clinical strikes put United 3-1 up with less than half an hour gone after Kilmarnock defender Simon Ford had cancelled out Prince Buaben's opener.[LNB]But goals from Kevin Kyle, Manuel Pascali and Craig Bryson turned the game on its head and United needed Jon Daly's 66th-minute penalty to secure a 4-4 draw and a point.[LNB]The thriller followed Wednesday's 3-3 home draw against St Johnstone when Peter Houston's men came from two goals down before conceding a late equaliser.[LNB]Conway said: "I suppose once you go down 4-3 it's a good thing getting back into it, but it feels like a defeat because we should have got three points.[LNB]"We've scored seven goals and only got two points out of it. We just basically need to defend better because that was four goals from set-pieces. It's not like us but we will work on that.[LNB]"But it's a hard place to come and we've scored four goals so we will take the positives from it."[LNB]For the second game running, United went into the dressing room to discover that Hibernian, their rivals for third spot, had scored a late winner.[LNB]This time St Mirren defender Jack Ross put through his own net to give Hibs a 2-1 victory but Conway is confident they can still challenge the Edinburgh side.[LNB]And United strengthened their grip on a top-four position despite dropping two points.[LNB]"I heard it was a last-minute own goal," Conway said.[LNB]"But we can't control what happens there.[LNB]"Easter Road is a hard place to go so we weren't really expecting St Mirren to get anything.[LNB]"We will just worry about ourselves. We beat Hibs convincingly a couple of weeks ago. We will just wait and look to win our home games.[LNB]"It's a hard place to come and we got a point. And I suppose with Hearts and Aberdeen losing, it's a point gained on them."[LNB]Calderwood bemoaned the individual mistakes that contributed to United's goals but he viewed their goalscoring breakthrough after a five-game barren spell in the SPL as a "massive boost".[LNB]Calderwood took a risk when he replaced midfielder Gavin Skelton with striker Conor Sammon just after Conway's second.[LNB]"I have been doing that for 10 years," he said.[LNB]"We had to go for it, we were 3-1 down. I think it changed the game, with Conor's power and strength up there.[LNB]"They showed a lot of character when they were 3-1 behind."[LNB]Calderwood, who has had Watford defender Rob Kiernan on trial with a view to a loan deal, is "very" hopeful of adding more than one player to his squad before the transfer deadline.[LNB]And he expects Kyle to be in his squad for Tuesday's visit of Celtic despite interest in the Scotland striker.[LNB]"There are always enquiries," Calderwood added.[LNB][LNB]
