Lichtie78 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 have to say its a joke there are no reasons to risk injuries to out players due to a friendly. if we had the same depth of player pool as dundee then maybe but we dont so WTF are we playing it I agree it's unnecessary but, for example, say whilst we were waiting on Dundee getting back to us about extending Skelly's loan, they asked if we'd be okay to play a friendly against them during the premiership's break?Just a thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Very impressive goals against column by the way Don't know if anyone else saw it either but after Celtic, with 0 defeats, ourselves and Hibs are joint second on least amount of games lost. Right from the off I said we had a cracking defence and midfield but struggled to score goals and Mutch was useless, now Gomes is in and we're finding the net more often. If only Gomes had started from the start of the season I feel like we would've turned a few more of they draws into victories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already helped them out by playing a closed door game earlier in the season so Dundee could field some trialists, and I'm sure Dundee used gayfield to play a closed doors friendly before the season started. Sure stuff like this will bode well with Dundee and we'll perhaps get first refusal on any youngsters Dundee are looking to farm out on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Can't really see what the fuss is about, we've hardly had any bounce/friendly games so would imagine big Rab will play, Thomson, Sukur (suspended for 2 games over Xmas period) Callaghan, Malin, hodge, ferns, skelly, Jimmy, prunty plus maybe 1 or 2 trialists possibly. Seem fairly logical to play a game actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, jeezo you can get injured in training, we only play 1 friendly every 2 months or even 3 months so we need to do this to keep players match fit who are not getting a game and as has been said if this is partly helping DFC then good if we continue getting loan players from them. Really do hope Big Rab dons the Red Lichtie goalie jumper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotesBornalichtie Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I imagine the players might enjoy a friendly match in place of the usual training night and with the winter break for the premier league Dundee probably would like a game to try out fringe players etc. Also as previously stated DC will probably give our fringe players a start. As long as both sets of players stay aware that it's a friendly and don't get over aggressive there shouldn't be any more risk of injury that can be had in training. I enjoy evening matches under the floodlights, when I was a laddie I used to think it was like watching the game in technicolour, so looking forward to tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oleksandr Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thompson got injured in the 1st half and Mccord was limping near the end of the first half after a challenge and got subbed at ht 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thought Thompson was actually pretty decent before his injury tonight. Malin played well in the first half. Ferns is very quick but very unpredictable on the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
