Robertson looked like an amateur at Parkhead, if you watch it back he loses his man every time and is nowhere near the level we need to progress. The boy can trap a ball and find a pass; his overall game is league one/lower cHampionship. We need to move on from players like him.
As for Bakayoko i'm okay with having him as part of a four man strike force next season which couldn't also include Pineda. Bakayoko has scored 6 goals and assisted 5 which is an average return. Sometimes he looks like he can't be arsed. I suppose we need a bit of continuity so i'll take Bakayoko, Boateng, McCraacken and Dodgson from the loan deals.
Thank you.
I feel a bit cammy about Robertson but I’ve eventually had to face facts and he’s not going to make it with us. I agree with you about the 4 loanees worth signing. Mellon probably too but his stock is possibly too high for us, despite not getting much of a chance - maybe his performances at training haven’t justified it. Donnelly has had some decent spells in games but he’s had some absolute shockers. Hopefully Astley and the homegrown youngsters get a chance over him next season. I think Dodgson has looked ok, half decent pace, not bad going forward, strong - he’s clearly no Owen Beck but he’s literally in a different league altogether.
I wonder if Anderson might get another chance? His biggest failing imo was not getting his head up to see passes and ‘dying’ with the ball. Tiffoney also suffers from this but he seems well loved by everyone else.0 -

The last 4 pages of this thread make me sick. Some absolute no mark clubs have had incredible seasons by their own usual dugshite standards; st Mirren, Dundee and Kilmarnock, with lots still to play for.
You’d think they’d be talking about their near rivals in the table, and when they play etc, yet all fans of the three of them want to talk about is when/ where they play rangers and Celtic, and where they’ll get to win the league.
When are you playing them next?

On another note, anyone contributing to the 1893 club I received an email today about an event on the 29th and improvements that will be in place for next season.
Good to see there's going to be more effort put in.
Thank you.
I stopped as I had no idea where the money was going. Might have another look if they sort themselves out.

We'd beable to pay the 66K off alone with the Sky money from the live game from Dens next Sunday.
That's before you factor in over 4000 away fans paying £30 a pop, full hospitality and home end sales.
We then have a massive home match infront of a bumper crowd against St Mirren which can put us into a European position.
Kilmarnock to end the season should also see a decent away following as they finish the campaign in fourth. If we've picked up a few results it'll be another bumper home crowd.
Of course there's then the 140K plus between finishing 7th and 6th. If we finished bottom six we'd have been due the likes of Livi at home in a meaningless borefest.
Thick as mince. Things are all good down Dens way don't you worry.
Thank you.
Well said.

Vote no on banning artificial pitches, rip the pitch up and put in our own plastic one, just to piss people off. Sick of this nonsense, to threaten such a heavy fine for one postponement next season is absurd.
I’m defo up for this.
Not sure about other areas of Scotland but we’ve had 20% (160mm) of our average annual rainfall (800mm) in the last 3 weeks. How much contingency do you build in to your drainage system?

Jordan McGhee deserves a mention on his own. That was one of thr best performances I've seen from him over his years at the club.
I complained about him weekly as a centre midfielder but he's always been a useful defender in my book as a second choice. Tonight though with a performance like that he could start for us next season as a RB. He really was outstanding tonight and I don't think thats overdoing it.
Hes definitely been told to get forward more aswell. At the seasons start when on the right he was scared to cross the half way line and had no confidence in his forward passing. He looked a different player tonight, the charging forward in the second half was class.
Keep it up McGhee.
Thank you.
Great shout. Totally agree.

Great result and well deserved. McCowan the best player on the park. Have to say I like Dodgson, I’d be signing him if poss. Bakayoko also, he’s not Pele clearly but he does a job. Boateng is another ‘keep’ if poss. Robinson is a no for me. A half decent spell in the seaside league, attitude suspect, the Doc clearly doesn’t rate him. Costelloe is not as bad as the Sanities aresholes led us to believe but he’s another no for me. Neither Donnelly or him look much better than our own, home grown versions.

A big thanks to Kettlewell who secured Dundee their top six finish with a pointless equaliser.
Extra revenue which is invaluable and means if we do decide to pay anything towards our pitch it's covered through the top six finish, meaning no decrease to our playing budget.
Getting Livi out the leeague is another bonus - complete diddy team and the derbies are going to bring in more money.
With Docherty at the helm and a full season in the legs of the likes of Lyall Cameron we should be looking ahead with positivity.
Wouldn't mind the Perth being replaced by Kirkaldy to top off a very good season at Dens.
It's not over for us yet though and we continue with the development of our young team with all eyes on Dens park come Wednesday. Can we end the knuckle draggers title aspirations?
Thank you.
We also need to thank the Motherwell board for splaffing all their budget on their pitch. Cheers guys.

Dundee lose all their games after the split.
St Johnstone win all their games after the split.
St Johnstone end the season with more points.
I think Sainties are going to struggle big time after the split and the home game (I assume) against Ross County will be pivotal. Lifelong Dee fan Si Murray to provide the coup de grace.

Looks like an imaginative, bold and exciting appointment. You’d be hoping he can bring some Scandic jewels with him.
Interesting times ahead lads, good luck.0 -

In summer my view for the season was survive comfortably, even if in 10th, gut the squad, pay the credit card (several managers and January 2023) and start again from even in 24/25. We'll get that so box ticked, no complaints.
Where the frustration comes in is with Aberdeen and Hibs imploding, there are two utter shiters in the top six and one will get Europe. Had we shot ourselves in the foot just a little less we'd have been right in that mix.
But c'est la vie. For all our improvements and 'likeable' aspects, we're clearly limited as anything. Davor has just been discussed while Bair is only marginally better than when we signed him in situations where he can't run in behind. There's then the defence. And goalkeeper.
And the manager. Who has some major pluses but is the equivalent of a raw teenage player - you can see why he might make it and equally why he might not.
Nonetheless, starting from zero is a much stronger position for 24/25 than our last two seasons. We finally have a CEO and we're finally sorting the strategic direction. As always, there are weaknesses and threats on the horizon but for the first time in over two years the strengths and opportunities are probably greater...it's time to be cautiously optimistic imho.
Whereas there are 6 ‘shiters’ in the bottom half. Not to worry, you’re nearly top of the shiters. Great pitch though.

I'd rather have a decent pitch to be fair. And Dundee just scraped top six because of the Motherwell result... No fucks given here.
Clearly not bothered at all.

McCracken is a defo if we can get him. A young keeper of real promise.
You’ve got to wonder if Carson is injured or he’s thrown a hissy fit over something. If we get McCracken he can f**k off if he wants to imo.3 -

Wonder if we’ll get players signed up soon now top 6 is secured.
We need to find 1 (at least) really good centre half. Joe has been great for us, total pro, leads by example, but he makes mistakes and is getting caught for pace. Donnelly, who is obviously not ‘ours’ has had som decent games and some indifferent, he was very edgy today again, I’m not sure if I’d sign him if he was available. I’m worried about Astley, he’s young but so is Donnelly and we’re playing him.
We also urgently need a good striker. I think Bakayoko had done pretty well, I’d defo sign him if possible but he shouldn’t be first choice.0 -

One of the better season out of my 45. Particularly good as it hasn’t been facilitated by spunking millions (despite what that slavering cunț Kettlewell says) and there’s real hope the Doc can offer us continuing improvement. I’m deelighted.

When Tyler French was at Dundee, how was his distribution?
He has been very poor in every aspect of play at Morton unfortunately, which os surprising given the positive reports from Dundee fans before he came to Cappielow
We’ve had a succession of right backs that get completely over-hyped simply because ‘they weren’t Cammy Kerr’. The lad’s had a bad injury but despite that I was never overly convinced he was the real deal.

It’s Lamie all day long over Donnelly at the moment and Dodgson over Donnelly at left back too.
