I'd be happy enough with this outcome though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half looking forward to it. I always feel like that if i'm going tbh This was how I felt about the 7-0 shoeing from ICT. There's games where you leave early because you're scunnered and there's games where you stay because it's funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1nickydevlin Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I'd much rather have Lee bullen in charge than some jobber that does the rounds up here . His football has been poor too watch for quite a while .but finishing 2nd in his full season in charge is magnificent if you ask me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His football has been poor too watch for quite a while .but finishing 2nd in his full season in charge is magnificent if you ask me. The first half of the season we actually played some very decent stuff at times and were also the highest scorers in the league, unfortunately we lost Chalmers, Mullin was out for a while and O'Connor was both injured and out of favour which didn't help and we seemed to go much more conservative which wasn't ideal, given that outscoring the opposition had previously seemed to be working. In some respects you have to play with the hand you're dealt and it shouldn't be forgotten that we tried to sign both Dom Thomas and Craig Sibbald who would undoubtedly have provided more "football" to our side had we got them. Irrespective, we managed 2nd place and now we have to prove that it was no fluke and that we can build on that for next season. Friday is a shot to nothing but the real hard work will be putting together a squad for next season that not only will be competing at the top half of the league but also providing the fans with some excitement and quality football and that challenge will be the same for Bullen or whoever replaces him should he leave. Let's just hope that Mathie and Glendinning are already on the job.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 No doubt Bullen over achieved this season particularly when you look at the squad. For various reasons I don't think it's the worst idea to reset in the summer and accept going backwards next season in order to go forward long term. You could understand Bullen maybe choosing to go when, from the outside, his reputation is high. However if the family stuff is true then more chance him being the next Farsley Celtic manager than Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 My take on it is that Bullen is similar to McCall in that he is a decent to good championship manager, but that is his upper limit. Both have excellent man management skills and are able to blend a squad of different personalities together who are willing to fight for the cause. McCall of course has an excellent eye for a player, whereas I’m not sure Bullen does. On the other hand though, McCall has no coaching ability and by all accounts Bullen does. Both of their main weaknesses are the tactical side, Bullen was really shown up again last Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted or indifferent? Indifferent is the perfect word I’d say. I wouldn’t be gutted and I’d say it could maybe a blessing in disguise for us as it would give someone else a shot to take us further. However I don’t actually see him being interested and that’s not me saying the Ayr job is more attractive than the Dundee job but I think he came up wanting to earn himself a shot at a League One or Two club down South. It’s unlikely to happen unless we go up but the rumours about him being homesick might mean he’ll be away back down without a job lined up. If he went then he’d go with a thanks and good luck as factually he is our most successful manager since Dalziel but I think there’s limitations with him that will prevent us winning this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Anyone any idea how the home end ticket sales are looking now? Probably ambitious to even get as many as 3000 now, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullen lucked out with Akinyemi. When teams shut him out, we are clueless, when he was missing against Thistle we were hopeless. If Dipo had a spell out injured for a couple of months we could have been in a relegation fight. He is a bit like Roberts, Moffats goals kept him in a job. Bullen has more to him than Roberts but he has been very lucky with Dipo's consistency. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely rate Hartley but after the season McGlynn and he have had, they'll be lucky to keep the jobs they have at this rate! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
