Doc says prevention is cure for leaks at Dee

TONY DOCHERTY has challenged Dundee to find better balance in their play, having seen his team score goals for fun but struggle to keep them out at the other end.

The Dark Blues' last outing summed up their season in a nutshell, storming into a 2-0 and 3-1 lead against Rangers on Saturday, only for the Dens Park hosts to lose 4-3 in a seven-goal thriller.

For 75 minutes they gave Barry Ferguson's men the runaround thanks to an aggressive, front-foot performance that had Gers reeling.

But Dundee's failure to lock the back door means they remain second-bottom in the Premiership table, occupying the relegation play-off spot.
