Calderwood seeks perfect balance

Colin Calderwood is looking for the balance between defence and attack as Hibernian aim to end a long wait without a league win at Easter Road. Hibs have not gained three points in the SPL since February and had to come from two down to force a 3-3 draw against Dundee United on Saturday, with strikers Garry O'Connor and Junior Agogo on target.Their previous home match was a drab goalless draw against Aberdeen and Calderwood is now aiming to combine the positive facets of both games when St Johnstone visit on Wednesday night."The positive side of a 3-3 draw is obviously the fact our strikers are doing well," said Calderwood, who has a concern over a foot knock picked up by Leigh Griffiths on Saturday."I think there's good combinations with the ball and they're starting to link in more and more together."You can see it developing through the games which is backing up what we've seen at the training ground."Things have steadied a little bit. We haven't been defeated and we've scored enough goals to win games, and we've been involved in exciting games."We were pretty solid against Aberdeen but not effective enough at the other end."And when we've been effective at the other end we've been extravagant defensively!"We haven't got the balance but we've shown on occasions we can do both ends of the game."If we can marry the two of them together it would definitely help."St Johnstone will prove a tough test of Hibernian's gradual improvement with the Perth side yet to concede a goal in four away matches this season.St Johnstone followed wins at Celtic Park and Motherwell with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Hearts on Saturday.Calderwood said: "St Johnstone are in good form with two excellent results recently."Every game is tough, and I think their form just adds to it. But it also adds to the scalp if we win."They've been excellent away from home defensively and that's something we've got to break."
