Equals your gate receipts if your game clashes with a Sevco home game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 McIntyres first January wasn't even that good was it? Curran and Fraser the only ones he signed who played regularly. Boyce and Irvine were already there.He signed Irvine the summer after, he was on loan at Killie that season IIRC.Curran and Fraser type players (as they were then) are what we arguably need tbh. They were good signings and contributed at this level consistently when they arrived. What he inherited was a lot of players just not up to the level, similar to Dundee. Adams had a lot of Dutch based players on the books, Marc Klok for example, who weren't up the level.That's a pretty good window in my book and if Dundee get a few boring players who are average enough bottom six players who can contribute every week, that's great and should give us a fight for 10th (if we pick up enough this season to stay a wee bit off). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I predict that we will not be bottom going into the Sevco game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit harsh when we haven’t played a game in December yet. 1.25 a month... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location of Dingwall was countered by the facilities they had for training. We however are in a better location but use the university as a facility and although I've never seen it personally, I've been led to believe it's a sodden, uneven area. Money. Money helps. Wads of cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope we are not desperate enough yet to go for Fraser Dingwall. We’ve already got a striker that thinks the aim of the game is kicking the ball over the crossbar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This is the anniversary of Alan Gilzean's last game for Dundee. He scored a hat-trick, Andy Penman the other, in a 4-4 draw against St Johnstone at Dens on Saturday 5 December, 1964. Attendance was 10,347 according to the London Hearts site or 12,000 in "They Wore The Dark Blue". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wonder how many times two players have scored hat-tricks for opposing teams. He was pretty much the opposite of Gilzean, as Coburn never scored in any other game for Saints. His brother, Willie, is in our Hall of Fame. Edited December 4, 2018 by RandomGuy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McIntyre's best two players (Boyce and Irvine) were brought in by Derek Adams and Stevie Ferguson respectively. Fraser and Curran did join that January. Raffa De Vita joined then as well, he had an immediate impact (at least when his debut finally came around on 14 February) and kickstarted the winning sequence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few good signings would give us a good fight tbh. Squad is woefully unbalanced but there are established top flight players there so I think it's recovereable if McIntyre gets January right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not due to play St Johnstone in our next four fixtures. Surely you didn't think RossDee was terrified at that prospect? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
