Kilmarnock manager Jim Jefferies felt his side had been unlucky in their 0-0 draw with ten-man Dundee United at Rugby Park.
Killie failed to break down the Terrors, who had Lee Miller sent off six minutes before half-time.
Jefferies said: "It was a training game in the second half. It was defence against attack and in those circumstances, you have to be patient.
"They started the game with a system which worked well for them last week - with just one up front - and, when they went down to ten men, they just kept two banks of four and made it difficult for us.
"They dug in and we just needed a break of the ball, but they defended well and I cannot fault my players for effort.
"They set out to gain a point and that is what they have done. That just shows the respect we have now after what we did last season."
