Poet of the Macabre Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 39 minutes ago, DAFC. said: In less topical news, former player Jack de Gier has took over as NEC Nijmegen boss. He's done well the past few seasons, getting provincial Almere City to the Eerste Divisie play-offs two seasons in a row. Let's get a wee friendly arranged over in Holland. Impressive stuff. Hope he does well. Obviously the Faiss stuff was a joke to start with but it's hardly a ridiculous transfer/loan. He previously played for the club and did well, he's not getting a regular game for Dundee, we have an obvious gap up front following Clark's departure. It might not happen but it's not a total fantasy idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Dundee, Stirling Albion, Brechin and Peterhead in Betfred Cup group D. I’d rather Dundee at home, not really that fussed about whether we play the other three home or away. Pretty shit group tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Isn’t the top seed always at home to the second seed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forzapars Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I’ll go for:Dundee (A)Brechin (A)Peterhead (H)Stirling (H)Basing it off of last year where we had the top seed away, the League One side away and the lowest 2 at home... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafcburty Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Pretty happy with the group overall. Shouldn't cause us too much trouble but that isn't me being complacent. It'll be a good match against Dundee as well - nothing to fear though. I'm saying our fixtures will be; Stirling (A) Peterhead (H) Brechin (H) Dundee (A) (Live on BT Sport) Both home matches to be a Tuesday with our match day off being the second Saturday.

TheMessiah Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Would love a tasty wee trip to Dens for top spot. It can be like this season's Tynecastle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 So, contract wise I believe we've not yet heard anything about M'Voto, Morris, Higgy, Nat, McManus, Cardle, Talbot or Shiels? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Also, had a wee look on Wiki and apparently if AJ sees out the full length of his new deal, he'll become the sixth longest serving manager in the club's history. If he continues beyond the end of the new contract, he'd probably move past Bert Paton and Harry Melrose into the top three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get promoted its likely he will see out his contract unless a bigger team come calling, its pretty impressive tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll hear more this coming week Depends on what contract they're willing to accept, the likes of M'voto and Cardle will be on a higher wage, if they're willing to take a deduction I'd be delighted to keep them as squad players. Would like to keep Morris and Higgy (although sub the bloke more when he's having his poorer games), release Shiels, Talbot and Nat. I'm generally not fussed by McManus, he's one of those strikers that doesn't score allot of goals and his all around play isn't all that, is he any better than Moffat? Bless him his work rate is absolutely awe inspiring but I wouldn't be upset if he was to go. 2 hours ago, Poet of the Macabre said: So, contract wise I believe we've not yet heard anything about M'Voto, Morris, Higgy, Nat, McManus, Cardle, Talbot or Shiels? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Good to see the club give youth signings the same treatment on the website as first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I think McManus is better than Moffat, although I fully understand the comparison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd like McManus to be signed up right away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
