DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The squad is still largely McPake's team. Bowyer is 5 games into the season with McPake's team. Be performing miracles if we won the league without any nights like these. In fact, be a miracle to win the league with this squad. Who were your recommendations again!?We haven't really been convincing at all in any of the 5 games - defensively we're all over the shop - and we're crying out for someone to control the game in the middle of the park. Up front - Rudden on his own just doesn't work - not necessarily having to play 2 up but perhaps one just off him and the midfield being closer to support. It's also infuriating we have players who can play with width yet persist in lumping it up. Our goal and best chances all came out wide yet we just didn't use the wings enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think, even if we win this league, that we'll do it convincingly. The league is utter gash, us included. Can't remember the last team to win this league that could be described as cracking team. Probably Hearts but other than that, can't think of any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I was dead against the Bowyer appointment but surely we need to give the man a chance? The centre of defence has been a problem since league game 1. Sure Sweeney was shite tonight, he’s going to be out for at least a couple of weeks so a chance to find out what French is like next to someone else. I’d also put the Legend in goal although I doubt he’d have saved any of those goals tonight. Thought the subs tonight were all a bit baffling. Hey ho, this is what being a Dundee fan is all about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Panzer Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Can anyone explain to me what our play style is or what Bowyer wants the team to do? Cos I can’t - but more worrying is I am not convinced he nor our players know either.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Also wtf has happened to Grayson? His first match he was fantastic, since then he’s disappeared. McCowan going off was a blow, he was really on form prior to the injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Legdzins - apart from being overall a better keeper it might make the centre-halves more confident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 A 4-5-1 with the two wingers attacking.We just didn't use the wings effectively tonight - Ayr's pressing meant we kept lumping it up but also the gap between midfield and Rudden made it harder for them to support him - that again was down to the pressing.PS I take back the comment regards your cat - just fucking pissed off with that game - and genuinely how poor we were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 What's the story with McGinn right now?Has he fallen out with Bowyer?Or does Bowyer just not rate him?It looked to me that he has no place in the manager's plans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hate to repeat myself.... But f**k ye's I'm going to anyway... Bowyer underestimates Scottish football. These lower league English players are simply not good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is no way an International player from a diddy foreign land is a match for a Sunday league player from England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
