RawB93 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Moving swiftly on from that odd game today.. We welcome Ross County to Dens this Sunday and should we lose then I'll really start to worry. We've been on a bad run for a wee while now and this is the kind of game we should be looking to win to get things back on track. Could probably benefit from a longer break than only 3 days but them's the breaks. Won't bother making a prediction, just win please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Thought we looked a bit better at 442 today, perhaps with someone other than Boyle in that role on Sunday though. Beginning to lose hope on the boy. I think having 2 strikers gives the opposition back 4 more to think about which should hopefully give our wingers a bit more space when attacking. Saying that, do we really have any wingers? Can we expect to see a whole new Ross County team by then now that the window is open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Watch the DVD post mortem on Monday morning. Work on defensive positioning. Teach Gary Irvine how to weight a pass/cross without overhitting it by about 30 yards. Tell the players to keep one-footed players on their weaker foot. Get Clarkson benched. Get Tank on from the start. Bingo - there's yer dinner - 3-0 home win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital_stag Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I watched both games today, I think we were worse!! I expect us to have 2 new players in for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Till A Die Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 2-0 Dundee. Tank and Stewart score. Dodds and Gowser start scraping. Jim MAC makes a successful pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 You beat us last time lads, and we gave you a wee confidence boost. Return the favour plz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 January has a hell of a lot of games packed in to it. As well as County we also play St Mirren again. Do we have a squad to handle so many games? Don't think so but we need the 6 from this and the St Mirren game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowrising Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 At least Dons game is same day as Ross play St Mirren so some damage limitation there if we get spanked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 We should just buy some of the best players from the wee teams in the league. Shouldn't cost too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take the wee guy that scored the second against us and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevthedee Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 we should try Clarkson and tank upfront and give carriero a chance in midfield to show what he can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's going to turn into a goal machine because he's now scored one league goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Clarkson's been brutal for a few games now. I subscribe to the policy that you're only as good as your last game, and Clarkson was a statue. Didn't win a header, didn't link up, didn't have a good first touch and didn't pass the ball well and didn't offer much movement. Tankulic to start and hopefully it'll give Clarkson the kick up the arse that Tank seems to have had over his past couple of appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 May be jumping the gun a bit to drop Clarkson, think that would hurt his confidence quite a bit too. Persist with him until about 60 mins unless he scores/has some sort of influence on the game. I agree he's one of these players who doesn't really do much except score, which is fine when he does score, but that's not been happening and there's nothing else to redeem him. Also would like to see Carreiro given some game time too. He gets his head up and runs at goal. I don't know another player in our squad that does that. Maybe just the fearlessness of youth.

I don't think he's going to turn into a goal machine because he's now scored one league goal. It won't have done his confidence any harm. Clarkson is a pure poacher, a finisher. Unfortunately we aren't making any gilt edged chances for him at the moment and he isn't contributing anything else whereas Tank looks as if he's prepared to get involved and come looking for the ball rather than waiting for it coming to him. Clarkson seems to have lost a wee bit of hunger, probably borne out of frustration. Watching a game from the bench might get him interested again. It won't happen anyway but that's what I'd do if I was the gaffer. Which I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgowlichtie Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Is McGinn back for this game then ? Carreiro in for Jimmy Mac, ive seen enough of Carreiro to know he offers more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was guilt edged... As in you'd feel guilty if you missed it. Every day's a school day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
