St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson admits he's not expecting free-flowing football when his side travel to play Dundee United on Scottish Premiership duty on Tuesday.
The re-arranged fixture was originally postponed when persistent rainfall in Dundee forced a series of call-offs at Tannadice and the playing surface has shown the effects since the return to action.
"I went to watch the game against Aberdeen [at Tannadice] last week, pitch is dreadful," Robinson told St Mirren's official X account.
"It will be a horrible football match and it's who makes the least mistakes. You have to play in their half of the pitch. You have to land in second balls.
"You have to not take chances. It's not going to be a pretty game.
"I met Jim Goodwin actually in the hotel beforehand and he agreed. So it's roll-your-sleeves-up time."
St Mirren's 1-1 draw at Livingston on Saturday was their fourth game without a win and the Paisley side are looking to get the results that can move them away from relegation fear.
Robinson says he would be happy to win ugly in difficult conditions.
"Doesn't matter about the performance, come away with three points because it's a tricky, tricky pitch, as you'll see," he said.
"But whatever way, we try not to lose the game. Again, we came in with that attitude on Saturday, don't lose the game.
"We've managed that and if you do that, eventually you start winning games, confidence grows and we have to try to do that again Tuesday night."
