Mowbray is a great football thinker but he does ask a lot of his players to remain on his wavelength. I sat and watched Sven-Gran Eriksson getting grilled about formations after the Northern Ireland game, ... I said to my team before kick-off that playing a lone striker at home against Dundee United could lead to criticism and if we didn't win I could be sitting on a sofa like Sven next week.

When the match is poised at 1-1, you know one mistake could be crucial and there is an understandable nervousness. We seem to want to score the perfect goal when I'd much rather see us get scruffy ones - a toe poke or a ricochet.

I have told Derek we will see him on Monday because I want him to make sure he gives it plenty of thought, to make sure we are not pushing him in any direction. I want him to have a clear head and make a decision. My advice to Derek would be to go and listen to them and to see what they've got to offer, see what is on the table. My advice is to give it some thought and we'll see you on Monday.

I liken the second leg to playing the Old Firm really, ... We've had good results in Glasgow the last couple of times we've been there.

It is a cruel game and it is very harsh on the players. To come in 3-1 down at half-time felt unfair and the penalty was a killer for us. It looked very soft. At 2-1 down, we were just one goal away from winning the tie and in with a real chance.

I'll let you in on a secret: I can't stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It's just a different style of humor.
