You seem very Dundee-y this season - a good Championship squad but a fucking shite manager, but the squad quality will counter that enough.
That was very naive of him to say that, given the reason I gave above.
it isnt naive at all when you look at the full interviews and comments which can be long but there is far more to what was said than just one line that people keep selecting.

No, you aren't. He actually totally misses the ball after swinging at it with his right foot, and it hits the inside of his left leg and goes in to the net.
He wasn't the only one at fault there. Thistle smash a long ball from well inside their own half. Comrie headers it clear to Macdonald, who gets dispossessed far too easily. They pass it back then pass inside to Cammy Smith, who is allowed to run in to the box and put the ball across the goal almost unchallenged by Cole, with Cole making no effort to stop the ball across the goal.
Horrible defending with three guys at fault, all from an aimless long ball.
For the first I first thought that no one tracked the run of Docherty. Not true. He actually stands still and absolutely no one bothers to mark him. When the corner is put in he takes two steps forward and, remaining utterly unchallenged and unmarked, has an easy header.
For the second Graham, Dorrans and Watson are standing just behind the penalty spot with two Thistle players, one of whom is Holt. When the corner is put in, Dorrans stands still and Graham and Watson both follow the same Thistle player. Holt simply runs to the back post and has a totally unmarked header in to a totally unguarded net, as Mehmet appears to have hands made of smoke since he flaps at the ball and it goes right through him.
Three desperately poor goals to concede, all easily preventable and down to abysmal defending.
Todorov attemted to mark him after that but looking at the 2nd goal he didnt even bother there either. a different issue, no one on the back post has it gone out of fashion?
Watson was on Holt or meant to be, not the last time he will lose his man far too easily at a set piece.

is he better? remains to be seen although its amazing how much better a player gets when they dont play. the one thing he definitely isnt is left sided which is what Grant wants which is why Graham was signed and also why Breen was brought in, it is up to Breen to earn the spot now.
can get this pish about "our" players binned too.

and it is slow because there is no movement, its been like that since half time against Stenny for some reason.

Crawford got slated for saying top 4 was the aim, not ambitious enough and sets the wrong tone. Grant says the aim is to try and win the league, 2 games in and he shouldnt have said that., adds too much pressure and expectations, what do you want then?
he also said he wants to win all the cup competitions, so when not if we lose at Ibrox he should get the sack then as he hasnt delivered what he said?
17 minutes ago, parsforlife said:Exactly this. 2 months time we’ve played the first quarter of the season. We’re 5 points behind after 2 games, How far behind after 9 can we be before it ‘clicks’. We need to be on a minimum of 14/15 points after the first quarter to be within touching distance, We have less than 2 weeks for it to click.
dont beat Raith, he should be sacked then?

it could take a month, two months and/or changing the players in there for it to click if thats the right term. a lot of people dont have the patience for that though

watching folks heads explode at the idea of 3 at the back is quite funny actually.

When did Lewis Martin last appear in a Pars shirt? Alan Temple has said PG is happy with the squad but not ruling out anyone else coming in, sounds a bit ;-). Could we see the pen GIF today?
the Partick away game before the first lockdown.
it sounds pretty standard really with the window open for another 3 weeks, get a long term injury they will try and replace them and if someone far too good to turn down is offered they will do it but i wouldnt be expecting one today

Hard to tell from highlight package, but he looks suited to a back three.
Strong and quick. Right footed so likely to play on the right despite playing on the left side at Kentucky. We already have Graham, Breen and potentially Martin who can play left side.
Looks like PG is going to be sticking with a back three when you look at the recruitment. Hopefully just needs time to gel.
Just makes me wonder about the wingers we have got. If we play 3 at the back it means width coming from the full backs and 3 wingers either playing out of position or sitting on the bench.
which is partly why the signing another winger rumour made close to no sense but id say all 3 can be just as influential playing in the front 3 if it is that, as a no10 or in Thomas and Dow's case in the middle especially if its a 3. im pretty sure you will see a middle 3 of Thomas - Dorrans - Dow at some point.
i wonder on Martin considering the length of time he has been out, if he gets fit before the end of the month and with no reserve team, is it worth loaning him out till January to play?

might mean Comrie can move to wing back which some people will be happy about....
but they can moan at the same time its still 3 at the back

the Cowden end concourse is still used by the away team so the stand wont be opened, they are having to open the North East to get even the maximum 2000 in because of social distancing and how the tickets have been selected.

1 game in......wow

yes on the first one today, can only guess he was trying to head it back towards Mehmet? but the second is harsh and probably Partick too, i wouldnt drop him just yet but if there are another couple of costly mistakes then its up to Breen to show in training he is ready to take the spot.
the three strikers can work if any of them perform, none of them did today. going 442 is always the answer whenever a side doesnt play it but i dont think Grant will change from 343/3421/352 for a while yet.

Why are we persisting with an on loan youngster from Utd instead of big Vytas? He'd have eaten Ugwu up like jelly today. Instead Gozie absolutely tortures the young clown.
I liked Dorrans second half, that was decent. But this set up is needing changed sometimes when it's not working. Sometimes you just want to see Thomas out wide and getting crosses into the box instead of him being so central.
Graham was brought in to play on the left side of the defence, his competition is Breen not Gaspuitis who wouldnt have done any better against Ugwu if he couldnt cope with Jack Hamilton last season against Arbroath and got hooked as a result.
3 hours ago, Chubbychops said:You can see glimpses of the quality we have, but we need to find a way of blending it together.
Dorrans looks class at times but having Thomas alongside him is not good. Thomas is a winger. We need to stop try to put square pegs in circular holes. Comrie is a right back not a centre half, he is way better that McDonald too.
Macdonald is a better option as a wing back than Comrie in my opinion, Comrie adds more pace at the back playing in the middle than the other options. they could have played any other system today, too many individuals not turning up was the bigger problem, both on and off the ball.
4 hours ago, DAFC. said:I’ve heard from someone close to the club Vytas hasn’t settled and will be offski.
Play like that against Sevco and it could be double figures. I think Grant expected us just to turn up today and be this free flowing team and score plenty goals. Reality check.some fans did, Grant wont have if you ask me. teams/players have an off day, it happens, if it continues to happen then its a problem.

Grant's video interview which is done at the start of the week, says he is not hoping or looking for any more players at the moment but will always keep an eye on who is available and might make a move if someone better comes up or basically if someone gets injured.

It's taken nearly 25 years for somebody to notice this?
Surely there has been regular maintenance over that time that would've pick up on such a thing. A safety certificate would been issued after installation too.
that was my first thought too, crazy.
2 other ones, Rosyth for the training ground is well known about but i cant say ive seen/heard anything on anywhere else as possible locations, i wonder where else
also the physio, the guy they announced as taking the role hasnt been at the club as far as i know and was taken off the official website listings weeks ago. Karen Gibson, ex Hearts physio, has been doing the job in the meantime so when Ross says a new physio is in place, which one?

That’s assuming we are going to play 3 strikers every week in the league, I don’t think we will. In my view we have Cole, Dorrans, Wilson, Pybus, Kennedy, Allan and Thomas for the 3 positions in midfield (2 CMs and 1 in the 10 role)
missing Dow for the no10 role if want to call it that too, him and Kennedy the most suited for it.

We now have Dorrans, Wilson, Cole, Pybus, Dow and Thomas for the 2 midfield roles. I’m wondering if we can add Paul Allan to the list of players we might look to loan out?no chance Dow as an option in a midfield 2, if its 3 then yes. i dont include Fenton and Todd in the squad so they have never been part of it but if we do sign another winger as rumoured then certainly one of Allan or McCann, if not both should go out and play. having options is one thing but you can have too many sometimes and that can lead to problems especially with no reserve team.

not an out and out wide player unless someone was moved on/loaned out as a result i would say.
McDaid, Hastie, Hammill all seem to start from one tweet saying Grant wants another wide player (is that even right?) then its names thrown about in reply and are sticking with some folk.
