1320Lichtie Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 From the outside looking in Johnson was one of the players that worried me the most when playing you's. Who do you guys think has been better this season, Hemmings or Johnson? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson scored goals and got the occasional assist, Hemmings has scored more goals in open play, got more assists, and is usually key to every successful attacking play we have as he usually also has to play the holding role at the same time. Johnson was #2, he knew it and he wanted to be somewhere where he was #1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to gauge accurately I'm afraid, neither one has been played and utilised consistently to his natural strength and talent at any time. Transfer Kane Hemmings as well and we'll be 4 - 6 - 0 next game, obviously McPake's secret dream formation. Best regards 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I rate our Kane Hemmings extremely highly, with all due respect I'm not convinced he's as good as Lawrence Shankland of Stoke City.

RossBFaeDundee Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Barry Smith offski too, joining Jim Duffy at Dumbarton. Will have great success together and then rejoin the mighty Dee to lift us from this hoodoo... https://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=4279 Edited January 27, 2020 by RossBFaeDundee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hemmings easily better than Johnson?Cant say I agree . Better yes but easily and by a country mile ? I mean Johnson has played second fiddle and still scored more goals.Somebody may break it down in detail but hey if we get a better replacement then perfect .Hope he gets given a good chance down south. More signings please McPake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicMike Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 2 hours ago, DieDee said: In Crankshaw we finally have the type of winger we need to play a proper 442. Now we've let Johnson go - only not unbelievable because McPake is in charge. Does this mean that 451, that generally fails us miserably, is going to be the norm? Can this season get any worse? If 200+ minutes without a shot on target doesn't convince McPake that 1 striker isn't working, I doubt anything will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 “Fucking hell” can only be my reaction to today’s transfer dealings. The keeper’s a bit meh tbh but is an improvement on Hamilton, having said that so would I. We’ve went from having 3 more than decent strikers for this level with 1 unfortunately blighted with injuries and played out of position. Now we sell the guy who promised goals when he played and he did but got very few games from the start. Now we need a striker the manager has lost the plot unless we’ve sealed a deal on a striker of the same standard and it’s to be announced after the midweek fixtures. Wtf is going on 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not Levein that once played that or a similar type formation when he was manager of Scotland? It’s obvious Nelms is preparing the team for Levein’s appointment. It would tie in with the way Nelms has lurched from one set of supposed criteria to the exact opposite criteria every time Nelms has made a managerial appointment so far: Appointment 1: ex Dundee player with no managerial experience (McCann). Appointment 2: ex United player with managerial experience that hates the Dees (McIntyre). Appointment 3: back to trying an ex Dundee player with no managerial experience (McPake). Appointment 4: back to trying an ex United player with managerial experience that hates the Dees (Levein). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have a strange feeling that morale will increase in the coming weeks with the new faces and getting rid of those with bad attitudes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossDee01 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have a strange feeling that morale will increase in the coming weeks with the new faces and getting rid of those with bad attitudes.I admire the optimism but the only way morale will be increased is with good results. With the squad we’re left with and the manager we have? Can’t see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe the players believe in and play for McPake, they just need to show it. If I don't believe this then why go on as a fan? Edit: Inb4 we lose 3-0 to Morten and I call for Jazza's head on a pike. Edited January 27, 2020 by RossBFaeDundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're saying Shadow, however all's still good with Mr Nelms master-plan, I don't recall Craig Levein actually playing for the smeggers down the street. Therefore, not completely 100% tarnished, only 99.7% imho, lol. That 0.3% margin will make all the difference, you wait and see. Played Czech Republic lining up 4 - 6 - 0 as I recall, tactical class!!!! Think they only lost 1-0! Best regards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
