Mellon confirms Dundee United need time to flourish in the Premiership

Dundee United boss, Micky Mellon has requested patience as his team find themselves in the Premiership, standing sixth after being the last season's Championship winners.

This happened after having a remarkable start to their first top-flight campaign in four years.

But they currently have 6 matches without a win and were pounded 5-1 hosting St Mirren in midweek.

Mellon

 

added that naivety in his players resulted in that painful loss and confirmed there may be more hits along the way.

Speaking before Saturday’s match against Hibernian,

Mellon

 

commented:

“Development goes at different speeds. These players are human beings.

“All I can do is look at the games and say we still have to improve in certain areas.

“There are certain things happening in games and I have to tell my players, quite simply if that happens again then you’re going to have to be aware of that.

“But one thing I have never shied away from is the fact we have to keep improving. In order for us to become the Dundee United I want to see.

“We’re working towards that but I have to be realistic and very patient and realise I have the whole Championship team here.

“They only came out of the second tier last year so I have to give it time and let it evolve.

“I’ve been able to bring in a few players to try to help us in that process.

“I’ll try to help the players here improve and keep moving it forward.”
