It's never going to be some laugh after a heavy defeat, but f**k me man, some folk have got us relegated on the back of that one result. We won't be the last team Celtic and Kyogo put to the sword this season. Having said that, we didn't exactly make it difficult for them. Just 9 or 10 more signings before the window closes and we'll be sweet. Yeah, I said it in the match thread I was expecting a hiding. 1-0, 6-0, it didn't matter Celtic were always going to win. Against a Celtic squad that have been slowly gelling in the new players, given a boost by Rangers getting beat the day before, in front of a home crowd, Dundee, never do well at Parkhead, it was always heading this way. We needed a RB and a CH before this game, nothing has changed. Game over, let's move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile I was certain that we could snatch at least a point after having watched Celtic a couple of times recently and they were very poor.

Fifespud Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 We’ve been caught out for pace before yesterday. Gowser and Adam are too slow. The defence was left totally exposed. No chance those 2 were tracking runners. Thank f**k we don’t play them every week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe against some of the weaker teams at home. I'd like to see him with more of a free role where he can hurt teams with his delivery.

Dundee-FC92 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The space in behind was shocking aswell, it's not hard to drop back as a unit to the box and minimise the space in behind. There wasn't much tactics going on but it has to be a learning curve. Looking forward to Saturday, although still waiting on a reply to my email for tickets. Slower than Granny Danger on a 5K run the Dundee ticket office. Win and we're in the quarters; a bit of luck and who knows it could be our first run in the cups for a long time. Not since Gretna have we reached a semi final- not good enough for a club like Dundee. McCowan has to start along with Cummings. Hopefully some away fans are in but wouldn't put it past Dundees SNP council making a complete cluster f**k of it. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily disagree with this in theory, but I'm not sure how you shoehorn him into a side in that role in a way that doesn't just create even more problems. Our FB's have been shite and consistently exposed no matter what McPake has done and how he's had us playing, the 4-3-3 does absolutely nothing to protect them. I can't really think of a way that you could give them a bit more protection and simultaneously free a midfield player of much in the way of defensive expectations. 4-1-4-1 perhaps, as he's nowhere near dynamic enough to be an effective hole player in 4-4-1-1, but beyond that I'm stumped. 3/5 at the back would make it easier to free him up, but it does nothing much to protect the weak FB's other than possibly making it more difficult to play balls inside them between the FB and CB. We've been undone by that time and time again in the past two matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he would get more of a breather there so be more effective. Tracking back and offering protection to the full back...maybe/hopefully Edited August 10, 2021 by Peadar BigDinnerO'Driscoll 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 It looks like our "code of conduct" has been updated to require masks only when queuing to get in, and when in the concourses. That's pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
