Benjamin_Nevis Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Lovely. Had Dundee -1 and Dunfy/Stirling over 3.5 on a coupon. 90 quid off a fiver. Pleasing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would all like to have seen us rip them apart and score a few more but just because we didn't doesn't mean it translates as laboured. We won't have an easier game all season. Comparing results to what other teams have done is not how football works I'm afraid or else it would all be a bit predictable. We scored with a misplaced cross, and a shot from McGowan that somehow went in. We may not have an easier game all season, which is a worry if that standard of performance is to be repeated. Football is all about what other teams have done, for the most part, football is predictable, its why Barca, Celtic, Bayern, PSG, Juventus continually win leagues. Bigger teams, with better players tend to beat smaller teams, with lesser players. Sure random results happen, but not often. As an aside, this team will endure a very poor season IMO. We dont have the players to compete for top 6, so it will be the usual struggle with Hamilton, Livi and St Mirren to avoid the drop, I have no confidence that McCann knows his best team, system or tactics yet, we are 4 men short of a competent squad. Oh the joys of supporting DFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Where would everyone’s preferred location be for Europe next season? I think Greece in July would be fantastic. Somewhere easy to get to. My Hibee colleague is on 4 flights, a 2 hour bus ride, staying in a doss house and spending about a grand. At 2 zip down after 20 minutes on Thursday it wasn’t looking too smart. I’m struggling to maintain the belief in Wighton tbh. Today he should have been a real stand out but he wasn’t. I also thought Mendy was very ineffectual. To be fair the Brechin keeper had a couple of worldies and several other decent saves. On another day it could easily have been 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the joys of supporting DFC. Criticising the goals is a new one. What type of goals would you have been happy with? Personally I would've liked one like Ibrahimovic's overhead kick against England and possibly a Van Basten for the other one. How often have you seen a team lose heavily then go on and lose their next game heavily? Rarely. I'm not going full suicidal just yet until a few games into the season when I can properly judge where we are at. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowrising Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Very few teams ate mugged by 7 week on week. We dominated possession scored a couple and won comfortably. Ticks all the boxes. I doubt anyone here thinks this is a complete squad and we need an effective goal scorer from somewhere, but today was a job done kind of win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have not finished our signings yet for this season. Give the man a chance ffs! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally dominated the game and never looked in danger of conceding. I would've liked more goals and some breathtaking interplay but I'm a realist and I know it was an early season game with a few new faces. What was it that pissed you off about that victory today other than only scoring twice? Edited July 28, 2018 by Dee Man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigOutYourSoul Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Seasons not even started and the squads incompetent and it’s going to be a terrible season with a manager who’s not got a clue what he’s doing. Completely strolled it today with no concerns at all. God help this thread when Dundee lose their first league game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
