Anyone know how the ticket sales for the Derby are going? Trying to get a few tickets for my mates in the Derry beside my season ticket seat but forgot to get them today. Hope the Derry doesn't sell out too quick!

Best thing for the young lads going out on loan. How are the two you have getting on so far? Rate them both pretty highly. Think they have a good chance of making it at Dundee, especially Curran.

On paper it looks a good set up. I'd imagine any sales will be split between the club and the investors. Would be worried about who has final say on transfers though. Got to hand it to the board for thinking outside the box at least.

I'd be surprised if he was brought in before everything with United was sorted. Happily welcome him back though. Highly rated coach, successfully brought through youths at both Dens and Tannadice, and would piss off United fans. Don't see a downside to this to be honest.

We do need to find a way of playing at home so we can turn some of the disappointing draws into wins. We struggle at home, especially if we go 1-0 down because teams can sit in knowing we won't break them down. Apart from that I'm quite happy with how we've done this year. Frustrating knowing we could be right in the mix for a European spot with more consistency, but can't really moan too much. Don't think we're going to get dragged into a relegation battle.

I think this game and the Hibs game were the only games he hasn't started yet, might be wrong though but I was under the impression he's getting decent game time. Better off on loan for me.

Looks a good footballer and is comfortable on the ball. Can play RB, RM or CM as well I think so is a good option to have. Hope he plays because he's one I think could do well for us in the future.

Was thinking the same when I first saw him play in pre-season. Has the same sort of physique and running style. Fozzy was raw originally and was very frustrating at times but developed into one of our top players over the past 4 or 5 seasons. Wouldn't write Holt off just yet, he just needs time to settle and get used to the step up in opposition.

There's no doubt he's a good footballer, but like you say, his best position just happens to be Stewart's best position which means he's unlikely to ever be first choice there. Even if Stewart got injured, I'd play Harkins or Ross there before him. He's definitely got talent but just seems to drift in and out of games too much for me.

You'll get it on DeeTV for £5 mate. Pretty sure you can get the live stream from Tannadice!

Thought we looked pretty good first half. Second half was a bit of a non-event really, especially last 20 mins or so. Thomson going off at half time probably upset our rhythm a bit because I thought he was great in the first half. Overall I thought we played well enough but looked a bit blunt in the final third again. Like the look of Ross, Hemmings and Holt once he settled in. Think the Tank played well and Ferry did alright too. Calvin looks like he'll be decent back up for CM if he doesn't go out on loan.

Not as bad as I thought to be fair. £25/22 seems reasonable to me.

What's his best position? Always thought Caley fans rated him highly and surprised he's been let go really.

Maybe Andrew Black too. I think he's a RB is he not?

What's he like as a goalkeeper? Commanding, good shot stopper? Obviously haven't seen him play much (minus one game at Dens where he had a howler, but that was a good few years ago). He'll probably be back up to Bain I'm assuming, but he'll probably be happy to be back up initially as Bain is our most sellable asset and may be gone in a couple of years time.

Would be surprised if it is us. We already have McPake, Konrad, Gadzhalov and Meggat that can all play CH.

Would rather Ainsworth. Always looks dangerous when I've seen him.

More likely to be either Konrad or Meggat alongside McPake, given the fact Gadzhalov wasn't first choice ahead of Konrad this season...

Didn't see that much of him at Dens but looked tidy enough on the ball when he did play. Think he should do well enough.

Agree with everything Deefiant has said. Would also add that we'll more than likely be running with a smaller squad supplemented by younger players. There's no way Holt, Meggat and Loy could demand a wage larger than Thomson, McPake etc. and probably not even the same as Clarkson or Heffernan. Hemmings is a little different but he still won't be on the same as out highest earner. I've no doubt we probably offered Loy more than St. J did but that's because we've sold more season tickets and have the 4th highest average crowd in the division. I'm more than happy with our signings so far this year.

Think someone like McAlister is vital in a small squad which it looks like we'll have next year (assuming we have another clear out). Can play a number of positions. Worth keeping I think although not as first choice.

Hopefully it is as back-up to Bain, and isn't an indication that Bain may be off in the summer!

If we offer him a deal on the same terms, are Hibs not then due some compensation? Won't be much mind you since he's only been here 3 years or so.

How many defenders did Nemzadze have tied in knots there?! Some player he was. Unplayable on that form!

Heard this too mate. It's a shame because he is one I was excited about. He was desperate to come off last night, must be completely fucked.
