Trevor Carson is desperate to avoid another "horrible" relegation on his CV and is convinced Dundee have what it takes to retain their Scottish Premiership status.Tony Docherty's men are in a terrible run of form and languish 11th in the Premiership, just three points above St Johnstone, with only nine games left, starting with Sunday's derby visit to Tannadice.Goalkeeper Carson previously went down with both Bury and Cheltenham Town but says this situation feels different."I have had two relegations on my CV in my early career in England and both of those times you are looking round the dressing room more in hope than anything. I certainly don't feel that here," he said."There is no worse feeling in the dressing room when you look round and you think 'we are in a pickle here, we don't have what it takes', but I certainly think there is an abundance of talent and we have got experience. "There is no logic behind it for whatever reason – it is certainly not through a lack of effort, we are putting the work in."On Sunday you will see a team battling for their lives, which we are doing and if you keep doing that, keep doing the right things, things will turn and you will get the results you need."In terms of my experience, being in a relegation team it is horrible for your CV. It sticks with you all your career - it is not nice, so digging in and sticking together as a team, hopefully we will see that in the next few games."
