Lennon Wants To Extend The Run
Dundee United have yet to beat St Mirren this season and Danny Lennon wants that situation to still be true at the end of tonight's game St Mirren are looking to extend this season's unbeaten record against Dundee United when the Scottish Cup holders visit Paisley tonight. However, manager Danny Lennon knows his players will have to be at their very best to ensure they get the right result. Only an 89th-minute equaliser from Jon Daly prevented Lennon enjoying a winning debut as St Mirren manager on the opening weekend of the season. St Mirren won 2-1 at Tannadice in November with Michael Higdon scoring two brilliant efforts in arguably the club's best performance of the season. Lennon said: "Any of the ones we have won this year have been good performances but overall on that night we were very good. We would like to continue our good form this season against Dundee United. It has been the work-rate and the desire that has got us through. We were very organised up at Tannadice and we played some good counter-attacking football, picked the right choice of pass and had two wonderful finishes. In fact it was three wonderful finishes because they scored a very good goal. They are a good side. The likes of ourselves have to be at our very best week in, week out." The Buddies drew a blank on Saturday against St Johnstone and have not scored in four SPL games, but Lennon felt his forwards were hindered by the heavy McDiarmid Park pitch which Perth boss Derek McInnes has termed "awful". Lennon said: "Our pitch is very, very good so hopefully both teams will be able to get the ball down and play. They have been good games this season between Dundee united and ourselves. The other side of it is, I certainly think the pitch did suit defenders on Saturday. So hopefully the good surface that we've got can favour our strikers."
