3 teams on 0 points and two on 3 points after 3 games and it seems some fans already have Dundee relegated. Some people really need to get a grip.

Weren't expected to take anything from the team who finished second, and have the second best team in the league, but it's hard to take when missed chances and poor decision making cost you points.

Hard work at the coalface today.

Dundee the better team for most of the game. They'll be kicking themselves about the chances that Vincent and Allan missed.

McCann cost us that IMO. Unless Haber and El Bak are physically unable to walk, you get them back on the pitch until you can make the subs.

 

That and shite finishing yet again means we picked up nothing today when we deserved something. Aberdeen had 2 (Greg Stewart also forced a cracking save out of Bain when the game was done tbf) chances and took them beautifully, whilst we squandered about 2-3 golden chances.

 

He wasn't able to get the sub's on straight away as you have to request it before the phase of play unless it's a 'keeper. They were incapable of walking and struggling to stand up, they were making no difference.

 

Kamara had the chance to hoof it clear and inexperience played a part.

 

We were very good today apart from a few moments or bad decision making that were very harshly punished and were very unfortunate.

That was hard work.

May and O'Connor got pass-marks. Two cracking finishes from May - his link-up play and movement has also been very promising so far. If he can stay fit and continue to play like that, he will be a terrific signing. O'Connor continued his strong start to this season with an excellent second half - our best defender by a distance today. 

Pretty much everybody else had a difficult game. Christie and Mackay-Steven had stinkers, Shinnie was nowhere near his usual level of performance, McLean was poor (improved a bit when we went 2-1 up), Considine and Reynolds both suspect. Tansey did OK - fine delivery for the opener and perhaps a tad unlucky to be hooked instead of McLean. Stewart was the most impressive of the substitutes. 

We were fortunate Allan missed that sitter at 1-1.

Always nice to play poorly and win, though; sign of a good team and all that.

Well that was pretty poor from everyone but O'Connor and May. I'll give Lewis pass marks too as he didn't do much wrong other than shank it out of play once or twice. Stewart was decent when he came on too and forced a decent save. Christie and Shinnie were particularly poor given their usual standards. A win is a win though. Particularly pleasing when Hibs, Hearts and Sevco all dropped points.

If Dundee could finish then we would have lost that game. Vincent and Allan in particular should have done better. You guys need to start taking chances or it could be a very long season for you.

Aye our whole midfield were on the spectrum of mediocre-to-dreadful today. Stewart did well when he came on though. Very strange day at the office for the ever reliable Shinnie and usually exciting Christie. A better team would have rag dolled us today.

Fair play to Dundee for trying to play out from the back and creating some decent chances. Unlucks.

Stevie May. Some. Boy.

We made that difficult for ourselves today. Dundee the better team for most of the match.

Stevie May is such an important player for us. Him, Stewart & O'Connor were stand out performers - everyone else was sloppy.

Miss from Scott AllHun was embarrassing and would have completely changed the outcome I reckon.

Very harsh on McCann.
