    The guy involved posts regularly on here and is one of the reasoned and insightful posters.

    Well he must not be posting on this thread then… unless he’s from Texas that is?

    What was the story with Stark’s Bark, did they not get the bullet for writing something similar or am I getting my wires crossed with the above?

    I feel that everyone bar IM is on the same page regarding Dylan Corr. Maybe the gaffer sees something in training that has formed his opinion. That said, we need people in natural positions in the back line. My view is start him - and if he is poor, take him off after half an hour. I think starting him should be enough to motivate him into proving himself and if he doesn't we will all surely see that he is not the answer we think he is.

    If you start Corr then you’re benching either Byrne or Brown. I wouldn’t be doing that in a derby.

    What I wouldn’t expect is for a team to charge a higher entrance fee because their opponent has a bigger travelling support, which is what we’re doing.

    It’s a cash grab and we should probably be a wee bit embarrassed about it. 

    Its tiered pricing, the more popular something is, the higher the price. It’s simple economics that’s replicated in every sport. A Fury V Joshua ticket would cost more than a Fury V Chisora one would.

    Are we all forgetting Dabrowski 's big saves this season? He has literally won us games (most recently the last minute stop against Dundee United). He had a howler against Arbroath, but he has played more than his part in getting us to the position we are in. 

    Id rather he did the basics well rather than producing the occasional wonder save. It would probably win us more points over the course of the season.

    I think a few of us are blinded by the nice guy, badge kissing side of him rather than the fact that the defense looks nervous when he’s playing. They clearly don’t trust him. 

  5. We look good at the back however we looked like we played with ten men. The midfield were non existent tonight.  Brown, Stanton, Connolly and Easton just couldn’t link up at all. Happy just to chalk that down to a bad night at the office. Friday night will be the acid test of where we are from a creative point of view.

    Not really sure where the line that Morton are ridiculously over physical comes from. I remember a bit of bad temper from them following on from a dodgy penalty award in the first game at Starks but haven’t really seen much else, particularly in the game at Greenock. They have a direct style of play with physical players up top but I don’t see anything wrong with that.

    I think this will be the game where we win by more than a single goal. 2-0. Rudden x2

    I take this back. They are complete hammer throwers!

  8. We were meant to sign Ashcroft at the beginning of the transfer window, it was apparently all agreed however Liverpool recalled Beck and then another of Dundee’s defenders got injured. This forced them to keep him until they got bodies back. That’s obviously now happened so he’s coming to us. If you boys tried to persuade him at the last minute to change his mind then fair enough but I’d say that anyone thinking it was a done deal that we was heading to Dunfermline is miles off.

    We've got Keith Watson back now, and added a player who can play across the back. It's been dispelled numerous times but contrary to popular belief we've got a wage budget which I'd expect is fully utilised now. I can't imagine we'd be looking to add another centre half in. 

    I think he’s probably meaning that it’s strange that we went for Brown if Ashcroft was available. Even given Watson being back, I’d put Ashcroft ahead of Watson/Murray in terms of fitness and ability.
