Dundee manager Tony Docherty has been speaking to the media before Saturday’s Premiership visit of Hibernian.
Here are the key lines from his press conference:
-
Defender Ziyad Larkeche will be “out for quite a while” with a hamstring injury.
-
Scott Fraser is having an operation to resolve a groin issue and Docherty is hopeful he will be back in four weeks.
-
The Dens boss is “really confident” his team will turn their good performances into wins and says you have to “trust the process”.
-
Docherty wants his players to learn from their mistakes and says the international break has been “really important to gel the squad”.
-
He points out the high turnover of players at the club in the summer and is striving to achieve more consistency in terms of getting a 90-minute performance.
-
Docherty says his team have to hammer home the advantage when they are on top in games.
-
He is expecting “a difficult game” against a Hibs team that have good players despite being bottom of the league but stresses “it is very much about us”.
