Dundee FC. Still ripping up the Championship.  Lol

Can you not just sign Charlie Adam again?

[Pens_Dark]

We haven't addressed glaringly obvious issues that have been within the squad for seasons now. Literally seasons. 

To not have a true left back is fucking criminal. What is even more criminal is trying to shoehorn Mcghee into a bunch of positions to try and get a tune out of him. Can someone please tell Bowyer that he is not good enough? Shirked out of battles every time as well...the captain.

We ended the game with two tall strikers that get smaller when they attempt to head the ball and could have played 5 games in a row without scoring. Woeful stuff.

The most worrying part of it is our reaction to conceding a goal, as soon as they scored there was only one winner. Players stopped wanting the ball, when they got the ball you knew it was getting turned over pretty quickly after. I don't think you could accuse anyone on the pitch of lack of effort, just terrible lack of quality. 

I felt a change in sentiment with Bowyer last night with a lot of criticism being directed at him and probably rightly so but he can only piss with the proverbial. It isn't as if he never made it clear we needed strengthened.

For a bit of light relief after another shite performance - does anyone remember when Hammy and the Hamsters (Alex Hamilton, Craig Brown, Hugh Robertson, Kenny Cameron and Alex Stuart) tried to get a No1 record?

 

Before my time but its another one that the courier has dredged up https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/past-times/3749863/hammy-and-the-hamsters/

How many goals has that Scully guy scored in his career? let alone goals like that! Classic Dundee.

He'd actually scored 2 goals on Saturday against Arbroath, so he's clearly rounding into good form. Doesn't hurt for him that we just stood back and watched him score twice, mind.

Someone on here claims to own the original pressing! Can't remember who, though.

I was at the game last night and his goals looked outstanding effort, but just watched on Dee tv again and that 3rd goal the attempt Adam Ledgzins makes to save it is as poor as it gets , I’m 67 now could easily have stopped that from the same position as Adams start position as the guy hit his overhead kick , no wonder Gary Bowyer waited so long to put him ahead of Sharp he’s good at shouting and trying organise his defence but an awful shot stopper

Yeah, thought the same. Only excuse is maybe he was blinded by players and saw it last minute. Looked pathetic.

Scully is a 29 year old defensive midfielder with 8 career goals before this season. Indian summer I guess

Oh wow, having heard it on that article I can't imagine anyone will be rushing to re-release it but still a pretty cool thing to have

[Girth]

Not sure how much flexibility Gal has now for signings.

However, with Sir Jay of Chapman gone and maybe another one or two to be cleared out we should have space for one or two more!?

I would think he’ll be looking at more loans and freebies. 

How many loan players are allowed at once? 

Thank you. 

[TheScarf]

As many as you want in this league seems. Sides are caked with youth players from Premiership clubs.

According to George Cran, Chapman was our highest paid player this season () so you'd hope that would definitely free up some wages for new recruits

Nearly £3k a week according to the Courier in January, and looks like a Strachan signing.

I thought the same watching on the feed and said so. Ledzgins is a great keeper, other than he just doesn’t make saves. We’ve had shite keepers since Bain left. For all the criticism of our defenders they’ve not had a lot of help. I think young Harry has the makings of a very good keeper but it’s a big ask of a young lad.

[Ludo*1]

I'm just gonna say it, I think Sharp looks a bit well, shite. Not the done thing to say about our young players but I think his distribution is honking, he's consistently glued to his line, he has zero communication skills and is just an average shot stopper. These are absolutely all things he can develop in the future, absolutely, but being better than Lawlor isn't a compliment, it's a given and there's been nothing to suggest he's better than say a Ferrie or Gourlay who are both plying their trade in this league too.

[Fifespud]

Also….

Bowyer seems like a very decent guy, much more likeable than all our recent managers. He conducts himself well with the media too. However I have seen no evidence he’s any better a manager than any of the last 4.
We let Charlie Adam go, sure, good imo, but we’ve had Anderson, Mulligan and Cameron come through since the last time we were in this division. There’s better performances in this squad, we’ve seen them ffs, just inconsistent as f**k.
I also don’t agree with playing a right back at left back, a centre half at left back and a right back at centre half. I realise they can all ‘cover’ these alternate positions but it’s a lot of tinkering. McGhee and Ashcroft in the middle, French at right back please.
