We've currently got absolutely f**k all in the way of wide midfielders, and all our strikers work better in a 2. The had Paul McMullan who's a wide player and McDaid that didn't get a game. Can't think of any other wingers at Dundee under McPake. Luke McCowan a winger? You might be right in terms of playing narrow next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Currently we'd have Mehmet Comrie-Benedictus-Breen-Edwards Dorrans-Hamilton-Chalmers Adam Wighton-O'Hara f**k me Dorrans, Adam and Chalmers is a midfield that would struggle in a game of walking football. Swap Slow Joe out for Adam and get another energetic midfielder in there and that’s probably good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've currently got absolutely f**k all in the way of wide midfielders, and all our strikers work better in a 2. 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 were his ideal formations. Most of our success came with the former. Shaun Byrne as ball winner, Jordan McGhee as box to box and Adam dictating play. We'd then have one out and out winger such as Paul McMullan and then despite having other wingers on the books, he'd infuriatingly play Paul McGowan as a wide midfielder who liked to come into the middle of the pitch rather than another winger. ETA: It was always, always a lop sided formation with McPake. Near the end McGowan was playing just off the striker in a 4-4-1-1 type formation and again, it was usually someone picked at random to be on one wing rather than one of our quality wingers.

Heaton Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Narrow formation may suit the smaller narrow pitches (assuming they are narrower pitches) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 New kit revealed tomorrow. Looks like it’s white with black pinstripes. I do like the pinstripe look. Not my favourite, compared to last season’s effort for example, but it is a lovely style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Get O’Hara in the Declan McManus role, defending from the front and harassing defenders (hopefully into mistakes) allowing the glacial midfielders to pick up the scraps and work some magic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a decent looking kit, I just suffer from PTSD whenever I remember that season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lochgellyPAR Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Feel like we’ve done the pin stripes loads recently. 14-15, 17-18, 19-20 and i was going to count last years but not quite pin stripes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 17-18 was candy stripe. For me, the candy stripe is the quintessential Pars kit, given we wore it during our most successful spell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin get away from that football and do one more lap of the Fife Coastal path and if I see you within a mile of a football again, I swear you're going on loan to Cowden.

I had that top and whilst I realise it was for a good cause I still regret giving it & loads of other classic tops away to Marv. The green & purple away top from 94-95.....the Jamie Squires black & gold........sad face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
