DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 McPake will be heavily criticised and I’m sure he accepts that. These sort or results happen for time to time but after the heavy derby defeat you would have thought the players and McPake would be out to prove a point. The only game we've looked convincing in was against Aberdeen.I'll back our manager to the hilt - but I am wondering if we've made an appointment that was one manager too early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not Pep Guardiola, he's managing for the very first time in the Scottish second tier. If the managers at this level (And indeed even in the top flight of Scottish football) didn't make mistakes, then they wouldn't be managing in Scotland. That makes it ok then? I doubt mcpake will see the next derby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being unreasonable to expect him not to make mistakes. And yes, it is ok as long as we end the season in the promotion play-off spots and build from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fully expecting him to make mistakes but to get fucked 6-2 then lose at home to Elgin is unacceptable, not just because its Dundee but its unacceptable to any club 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it goes bad of course fans are not gonna go ( already been mentioned) to the games but if we all just believe in what the club are trying to do then just maybe we may get somewhere.Just gotta enjoy the ride 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Don’t get me wrong that was a piss poor performance but that was a crazy 3 or 4 minutes that resulted in the 2 goals conceded. The keeper should’ve launched the pass back at the 1st instead of dinking it to Meekings and leaving him under pressure. The 2nd goal was the boy on loan from Hibs fault with a soft pass back. Mackie’s performance in possession of the ball was as bad as you’ll see and he won’t replace Marshall. Can’t be a red card and a goal in that situation, it’s either 1 or the other and I don’t think it was even a booking tbh. Shocking performance. We were far, far too slow in getting the ball forward, too many touches in possession instead of moving it on after 2 or 3. Can it get any worse? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the red card. You can go back and send the player off. The fourth official ( my mates brother inlaw) , his dad use to be a local referee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Shite performance all round. Agree re Mackie. Give him a tenner and tell him to get the megabus back to Edinburgh. I thought it was red card all day. It was Mackie’s mistake compounded by the midget. People around me were using the sacking word. I was never behind the McPake appointment but talking about sacking a rookie a couple of months into his career is crazy stuff. I think we’ve got a half decent squad, however too many deep lying midfielders and McDaid is an imposter of a footballer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if an outfield player puts his hand on the ball on a goal line trying to prevent a goal but it still goes in I think the goal stands and the player stays on the park for example.

johnnydun Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I am all for giving McPake the season and certainly won't be hounding him out. However, it doesn't take a genius to work out that we are desperately screaming out for a playmaker, we have all been saying it for months on here, surely he can see this too. I just hope he doesn't get as stubborn as McCann, the reason I am comparing him to McCann and not Hartley or MacIntyre, is that they both love the club. I just hope it ends better for McPake. All this goes out the window very quickly with the boo boys at Dens. He has to turn this around sharpish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
