Pens_Dark Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 17 hours ago, Shadow Play said: Good summary Ludo but I think the bit I highlighted was definitely McCann’s biggest downfall. It takes a fair degree of skill, and a significant amount of training, to play a true passing game. I got the feeling players were scared to take the chance of a killer pass in case they lost possession. This resulted in numerous meaningless passes until the opposition chose to close us down. Usually ended up with a big punt up the park or losing possession in our own half. I think it may have been under McCann (possibly Hartley?) that Bain ended up arguing with someone in the derry. The guy had shouted to stop passing around at the back and Bain was trying to explain that he was being told not to punt it long while pointing at the Dundee bench. McCann struck me as someone who knows how he wants football to be played (who doesn’t?) but didn’t have the common sense to know that it was just not going to happen with the players he had at his disposal. The age old mantra of the new and naive football manager. It's all fine well saying that, but what happens when it doesn't work? Dundee haven't sustained a consistent position in the top flight and as such our worry shouldn't be attractive free flowing passing football - as much as I want that. You build on solid foundations and I get the impression that is what Docherty will try to give us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikethedee Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 It's clearly a very busy day at work today, as I found this little titbit on the club's Wikipedia page - is this common knowledge? (In season 1902–1903 Dundee allowed 12 league goals against, which remains the fewest goals conceded by any British club in a full league season.) In typical Dundee fashion, we still managed to lose the league by 6 points... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Robinson has scored two, both assisted by Robertson. Beck with the other, currently 3-1 up on Bray. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main take away from this is that the new strip is a total baller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Just the 4 assists for Robertson this evening. Watch him no get another one all season Edited July 5, 2023 by RawB93 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Of all the random player position shifting, Finlay on the wing wasn't on my bingo card. Encouraging from him though, and good to see our two strikers getting some goals. Beck too, hopefully he's the real deal for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first 11 still needs a huge amount of work IMO particularly in midfield - looks like it can be easily steamrollered. Is Charlie Reilly fit? Said it on here before but feel like he’s destined for 6 month on loan here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
