Dunfermline v Dundee (League Cup - 2nd Round)


Parscelona

Recommended Posts

Tie of the round IMO.

Dundee will rightly be strong favourites as they have been terrific under Hartley, yet we are unbeaten in our last five games against them.

Early signs suggest that Johnston knows what he's doing, so hopefully we can give them a game. Should be a good crowd as well.

Tough choice for Talbot. Who gets a boot in the face? Hemmings, Stewart, Harkins?

Dundee looked fantastic (from the highlights at the weekend) and the Courier reporter was drooling about them. After being so rubbish for so long, the Pars can be rightly proud of their last couple of performances. Faissal El-Bak can trouble any team just now and our central defence has a bit of steel.

Quite a similarity between the goal Dundee scored on Saturday where Harkins scooped it up in the air and our fourth goal, where Paton calmly lofted it from around the same position for Byrne to run onto and nod in.

Pars 2 4 Dundee

Our previous games against Dundee mean absolutely nothing in regard to this tie.

We need to see how we do against decent teams in our league. Dundee had a good season last year playing quality opposition and have strengthened. We finished 7th in League 1 and have had to rebuild. I think some of our fans are getting carried away. As I said, lets see how we do against good League 1 teams.

Can't see anything other than a Dundee win. It would be a shock if we beat them. If we play well and don't make it easy for them I'll be happy

Decent enough tie, normally a good gate when we play.

It will obviously be a hard task, but shocks do happen and i think we have enough in us to maybe do that. we'd need alot to go for us but f**k it, entering a cup tie with a bit of hope is what its all about.

I think we will lose but there's enough about the side to give Dundee a surprise if they are off form. Is this a Tues or Weds night? Hopefully get 6k plus.

Depends on if Aberdeen get through to the next round in Europe as we're due to play them on the 22nd. If they do progress, the game will be moved to the Sunday and then this game will likely be played on the Wednesday.

£15 is our league price for adults.

Hard draw obviously but at least we're at home. We've got nothing to lose so as long as we do ourselves justice I'll be happy.

Not played Dundee in a while and I expect they'll bring a good following, so it's decent from that point of view.

With the attacking threat we have we really should be winning this one comfortably but bigger upsets have happened and the Pars have nothing to lose.

Not been to EEP in quite a while, do they still do those magnificent steak bridies?
