Crawford Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Can't be dealing with this. Why did we have to keep ourselves in it last night? Hope. Hope will kill us all. Hope makes being a Dee horrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Play Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 2 hours ago, Pens_Dark said: For the people desperate to dislike Robinson, I know there is few, last night was a showing of why he is so important to what we try to do. If you play him up front as a two his hold up play is tremendous and something that statistics won't reflect truly his performance. Play him up front on his own and he is totally under-utilised. Like a lot of posters on here, for a long time I’ve been calling for two strikers (not just two attack minded players). Jakubiak and Robinson are our two best strikers. The second goal in particular showed they can easily develop a good partnership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakedee Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Thought we played well last night, who would have thought playing Jakubiak up front with Robinson would pay dividends? Everyone but Bowyer it would appear. Cameron struggled a bit, really good on the ball but was bullied a few times in a central midfield of 2. I would like to see Kerr in at right back, and move Mulligan to where Cameron was playing, just behind the front 2, for the remainder of the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Perhaps 2 up showed why he plays 1 in the sense it leaves us a bit open with a defensive unit that has never been great and at times awful. Still, if other teams feel threatened by that pairing and they have to change their game to compensate then let's go that way.

Here's hoping. Those 4 away games they have are not easy - with 2 of them in their next 4 games. By comparison we have 3 home games with our only away game being away at Arbroath. We need Dens fucking jumping for those 3 games and as many at Arbroath as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) The two up front will need to stay, you'd need to be a moron to change it. Defence is a different matter, as a lot have said before, the 3-5-2 is probably the answer. Thank you. eta Let's attack these absolute fucking donkeys in the remaining games.

I get the impression that Bowyer will revert back to 1 up front in games such as Arbroath and Inverness away though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowyer said in the post-match interview that it was always the plan to play two up top against Ayr, and that against Partick we stuck with 3 in the middle to not get overrun in midfield as we had against them at Dens. In games where we feel that worry through the middle I reckon we'll be back to one up front, otherwise the front pairing will be the way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, it means we are adjusting our game to compensate (for Partick fkn Thistle) whilst we should be forcing them to adjust theirs!

QP are top because they've generally been fearless in their play - yes their record against Dundee, Ayr and Morton has been poor but has been compensated by them beating the poorer teams in the league. We've struggled against both Thistle and Morton but also not been attacking enough against the weaker teams. If we fail to win the league it won't be the results against Thistle and Morton that are to blame but losing to Arbroath and Cove.

DieDee Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Not 352 for me. 352 effectively becomes a 532 when teams attack us, leaving not enough strength in midfield. v Ayr, in terms of game-plan and execution, it was excellent. Kerr in at RB would help for the run in, Mulligan was fine as cover but ain't no RB. I, like other, think Mulligan is best through the middle. We need a midfield play-maker though and Mulligan isn't that. A fine performance from Cameron but up against the more physical teams Williamson is better. I'd also like to see Williamson with the Zak Jak combo in front, think that would help his game immensely. McGhee was fine but if in midfield has to be a holding midfielder (can fight it out with Byrne and McGuire for that role). Main gripe was Hannant, started well enough but became a bottle merchant. For the two winger positions first 3 options surely have to be from McCowan, McMullen and Mulligan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we fail to win the league it won't be the results against Thistle and Morton that are to blame but losing to Arbroath and Cove. I totally agree with this. QP have a manager that is letting his young team play without fear; you are right their record against us hasn't been great and hopefully that will reflect in the league positions come the end of the season but playing without that fear, the same system and probably the same 11 (mostly, I don't really know if they have chopped and changed much?) has brought that level of consistency that see's them 4 points ahead currently. On another note, I noticed yesterday that us and QP only play 3 games (one against each other) on the same day from now until the end of the season. What a pain in the arse that is for trying to gain psychological momentum. Before we kick a ball again we could be 7 points behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Apparently we are about to bring in some American chap named Pierre Reedy after a trial. He recently left Real Monarchs, the reserve team of MLS's Real Salt Lake. 25 years old and a midfielder. If he makes a big impact I'll be amazed tbh. No doubt a strange one, very much Chapman vibes. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/pierre-reedy-set-dundee-deal-29545443.amp Edited March 24, 2023 by RossBFaeDundee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.T Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Bowyer would rather scour the lower tiers of American football and sign a player for 7 games rather than play Shaun Byrne never know, he might be the playmaker we need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
