johnnydun Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 59 minutes ago, Fifespud said: Very harsh imo. He’s barely put a foot wrong since the left back switch. To think people used to want us to start Elliot over Cammy. I’ll defo go to Cammy testimonial events. Exactly this. OK so he's not a world beater, but every game he gives 110%. The lad is living the dream, playing for the club he has supported his whole life. I would give my left bollock to represent my club for a 10 minute run out. He has also been a great representative for the club in its community efforts. If only some other players would show his level desire and clear enjoyment of pulling on the Dark Blue then we would probably be in a better position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior_Arab Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 31 minutes ago, EpicMike said: I disagree. Number of saves is not a good indicator of the quality of a goalkeeper, save percentage is. For example, there have been 117 shots against Legzdins and he has saved 80 of them. There have been 50 shots against Joe Hart and he has saved 36 of them. Legzdins has more saves but he only saves 68.4% of shots against him while Joe Hart has less saves but stops 72% of shots. Who really is the better keeper then? That’s not enough in itself though. How many shots against Joe Hart are hit & hopes from 30yds because they can’t get near Celtic’s goal? I’d guess teams can slice through Dundee’s defence a little easier which means more shots on Legzdins will be from far closer range, and presumably therefore harder to save. You need to consider xGA if you’re going down that route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeniedee Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 speaking of hart..i watched the united game the other night and it amazes me that when hes got the ball at his feet somecunt doesnt charge up and pressure him..hes terrible when hes passing the ball out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Can't believe we are now at a stage where people are happy with Kerr playing. A guy who can't control a ball, can't find a man 5 yards from him and can't cross a ball. Sure, he runs about a lot - gives his all and will continually put himself in where it hurts but if I was on near £1300 per week, I'd do the same. The Laddie has stunk the place out for about 8 years. It's recruitment (or therein lack of) like this that has the club where it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanFan Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 If Dees fans are tired of the club kicking them in the nuts on a weekly basis and want to follow something else, our university basketball tournament starts today and is always a good time/watch. My school did not make it, but it's still a fun few weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 If Dundee FC had any ambition the likes of Kerr would have been 'thanks for the efforted' years ago. The lad tries, but he's a Championship player at best. No wonder we're a yoyo team if we view Cammy Kerr and his ilk as the bones of the squad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 As I watch games and look at either of our senior keepers, Byrne, Mullen and Marshall I’d say all 4 need ‘thanks for your efforted’ before Cammy. But each to their own opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Well none of those players have been at the club anywhere near as long as Kerr, so while it's true they might not be up to standard, none of them have been as mediocre for such an extended period. Kerr is playing LB because he can't get in the team at his natural position, and because Marshall is injured half the time, so it's not as if he's beaten off the competition to become a mainstay. He's playing as a last resort, which is why it's so baffling that he's been kept around for so long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerr is playing right back because he's the best we have and was only left back because of Mashall injury/he's gash. No doubt you have celebrated the signing of the likes of Horsefield and Elliot and regarded them as proper right backs. The way the team has played for years has left our full backs exposed and put in a position of receiving unfair criticism when the reality is that a succession of managers have been totally clueless. With Adam, McMullen and Sweeney I'd say he's been one of our best performers this season (I know, not saying much) and of those probably the most consistent over the season so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will say how it is. Kerr is shite n should have been let go years ago. But hey he is a Dundee fan n stayed at club for 10 years so I'm meant to be happy about it ? Good for him on a personal level but as a fan and someone who pays money to the club.... players like him need to gtf. Our squad is so shite. Can't mind who said but think we need a huge rebuild n we go again . I don't mind this aslong as we had some sort of plan. However these boys are under contract so can more or less right off next season unless we gonna rip up n pay off contracts ( okay I laughed at that part) Och well could be worse, could be Admin 3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Cammy Kerr is very poor for this level. Just because Elliott and Horsfield were worse isn't a redeeming feature for him being in our team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate they appeal to some, and I'm definitely not a "I don't like it so it shouldn't happen" person. But at the same time, I feel I'm being judged when I tell people I don't want to go. It was the same with the "Dee-fiant" reunion and other things like this in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an utterly bizarre assertion.

Totally agree , Byrne is the most over rated player at dens for years , I honestly don’t see what he brings to the team apart from the very occasional crunch tackle , it would be good to see how many assists he has to his name since joining the Dees , I know he’s a holding midfielder but he should have a least a couple of assists to his name 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullen n goals ? Defenders n clean sheets? Kerr n testimonial? Goalkeepers n nae defence or nae midfield or nae f**k all? I've no issue with Byrne not getting assists. However if we are going to criticise players he would be top 5? Dearie me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
