Jack Ross insists he has no problem with his Dundee United players locking him out of their dressing room debrief if it helps clear the air at Tannadice.
It’s been a bruising start to the campaign for the Tangerines after shipping 12 goals in three straight defeats to Livingston, AZ Alkmaar and Hearts. The 7-0 pumping from the Dutch outfit saw Ross’ team match Scotland’s worst ever European loss but there was further misery in stow at Tynecastle last Sunday as United slumped 4-1 to Robbie Neilson’s rampant Jambos.
Ross is wary of feeding the negativity hanging over the club by spending too much time moping over those mortifying results but felt it was necessary to sit his squad down and reexamine the footage of the calamity of errors that has cost them so dear. And he’s also been pleased to see his troops stage their own post mortem, even if he was kept out of ear shot.
