Liam Fox has urged Dundee United to get to grips with opposition crosses as he admitted size is counting against his Tannadice strugglers.
The Terrors slumped to their seventh Premiership defeat of the season in Paisley and it was a familiar tale of woe for Fox as his side were again undone by balls into the box. Both St Mirren goals came from deliveries from out wide, a flaw that was also exploited by Kilmarnock as they dumped United to claim a League Cup semi-final berth in midweek.
But with his back-line lacking height, Fox says it’s up to his team to stop the danger at source. He said: “We’ve come away with no points and we’re hugely disappointed about that. There are aspects of our game that I thought were quite good but there are things we need to get better at — and need to get better at quickly. We need to stop crosses coming into the box and we need to make better decisions, especially when we are on top in games.
