That'll be the same fans that spent their hard earned money getting to the game and probably at least six hours of their time. It will also be the same fans that didn't walk out after the third goal went in but instead stayed to try and support the team to the bitter end. Classy.

Durnford Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Having now watched the highlights; I realised at the time that Dundee's defence was pretty poor but I hadn't realised just how chronic they were. With my "glass-half-empty" hat on we score four goals from maybe ten set pieces but slightly more worryingly we didn't create many chances in open play. Okay; I suppose it could be explained by having a winger and an attacking midfielder making up our front line but sooner or later someones going to cotton-on and work against our aerial threat.

rainbowrising Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 3 of the 4 goals the defenders are in position in the area the ball comes in to. Seems to be a feeling that no one is marking. Reality is they are marking but with zero aggression. No attempt to force the attacker away or make the header far more difficult or even win the ball. They just track the player and do nothing. First and 4th goal are clear examples. The 3rd the defenders loses his man then falls flat on his face. Good, real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they had us pegged as a set piece specialist only mob on Sportscene till we beat Hibs and Sevco scoring goals in open play with good football, doesn't bother me where our goals come from or how we score them, we keep on doing it. Dundee were packing their box and not giving us any chances to shoot from open play, I saw us thinking about it a few times then passing to the side because they had plenty bodies in the box. Not everyone plays the same way and we've adapted to each team we've faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the beauty of a season ticket. Buy it in June when the weather is good and you’re full of hope for the season ahead. Forces you into going to the games Also gives you something to rip up when Dodds is appointed assistant manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More clean sheets than anyone else in the league too. Only Edinburgh City match us with 6 in the whole of the SPFL. Edinburgh City (3) conceded the least with ourselves, Ross County, and Peterhead on 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Just watched the highlights of this and Livi are very dangerous from set pieces, some well worked goals. As for Dundee, oh dear that defence looked woeful. New manager will struggle to keep them in the division if they don't turn that around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure we looked that dangerous this week tbh! Just three long bangers into the box and not a single Dundee player wanted to put a proper challenge in. Dunno, if the Dundee lads jumped more than 6 inches off the deck! Keeper flapping as well. Pathetic goals to concede. The free kick was just a fluke. Dundee looked horse sh!t and we took the chances which Dundee gave us on a plate.... I'm off to put £100 in Dundee to get relegated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'm not sure I'd class Lawless' goal a fluke; he was aiming for it and Lithgow's dummy run took the goalkeeper's attention away from the course of the ball - possibly in light of what had happened for the first two goals when one of our central defenders made the run forward. Lithgow's goal was also well worked but particularly down to an excellent ball in by Lawson; it seems to dip at the last minute and Lithgow is moving backwards so cant be intercepted - think the defender was counting on him moving forward which is possibly why he had his hand out to try and block him. Unfortunately for Dundee his position also blocked the goalkeepers view and ability to move. It the defender hadn't been there it is possible the goalkeeper could have run across and punched the ball into oblivion. Irritate that Gallagher picked up another silly yellow - least-ways we have McMillan as a capable replacement defensively if not as a goal threat. Also is that his third head/blood injury in three games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
