Dundee-FC92 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Not a game to last long in anyones memory with many players off it once again IMO. The only player i could pick out today would be Portales - the amount of balls he won in the air and in one on one duels was unreal. .We all know Ruddens capabilities but there's no doubt about his work rate. Ran himself into the ground today and won throw ins, tackles and fouls such as the one for the goal with his rat-like harrying. That's it i'm afriad though with nobody else really shining. McCowan has been dreadful the whole week but what a moment to win the match - he undoubtably is a match winner. Sloppy two yard passes and giving the ball away needs to stop if he wants to go a level up though and that goes for the whole team. First half today was scary at times. Don't want to sound too negative as i'm delighted with the 6/9 overall this week, but there's no doubts we've been a bit jaded within that. Hopefully the weeks break can now give us some solid recovery time for what should be a cracker against St Mirren. At the end of the day we're the newly promoted team and can't be expecting too much; think most people would agree with me that safety is the main aim. IMO some of these players have higher levels than the last few games and when they hit them we can be a right good side with relegation not needing to be a worry. Right now we're looking like a side who needs someone like Mulligan in the middle. We'll take the three points and move on though. We can't lose sight to the fact that in the last decade or so these results (no matter the performance) have been scarce to say the least. High flying St Mirren up next, hit our levels and there's no fear from me. Thank you. Edited November 5, 2023 by Dundee-FC92 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbellaDEE Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Good evening to all dark blue shaggers, just returned from holiday and spent the afternoon in Glasgow surrounded by jambos that looked at me as if I had 3 heads on account of my 89 DFC retro. With all that said, a quick check of live score led me to this beauty, happy Sunday to all Dees far and wide. Thank you 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Poor game. Defended well, attacking wise we were very poor. 3 points though, we move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I thought Portales was really good, his crosses are also good, is he the RWB answer with one of the other jobbers (McGhee?) taking his place at RCH. We are very careless with the ball, picking the hard pass to the guy who’s heavily marked, passes too short, passes too long, terrifying cross field balls where if you get it wrong you’re totally exposed. Keep is simple ffs as we are not too bad a side and most other teams are more shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Portales is just a really good defender. Does all the basics well and makes the right decision the bulk of the time. He makes himself really difficult to beat on the deck and is also solid enough in the air for a guy who isn't huge by CB standards. He's a great fit in the back 3, and for once it's a pleasant change to see a bit of joined-up thinking at Dens with regard to going out, recruiting a player, and using him properly in a role that suits him. I still think we miss a 'foot on ball' type CM, because even when we are playing well we don't really scruff games and it tends to be a bit end-to-end. A nice, calm head in the centre of the pitch who can play a pass, control the tempo, slow things down and keep the heid when needed would do wonders for this side, but those players are few and far between and tend to be playing for better sides than us anyway. If we had one, and found ourselves a goal scorer (there is hope for Robinson I think), and possibly a full time RB, then we'd be a very handy side. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhumbaclub Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Some save from Carson late on. Goal top drawer. Ref horrendous, if you are setting the standard early on with them yellows then no way you can change the red back to yellow. If the Doc can build a midfield and attack like that defence he's brought together then we are in for a treat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been to any games this season due to a new arrival in the family. However, most ICT fans I know who have seen him play have even impressed. I was delighted when he came in on loan. One of the few good signings made by Dodds / Robertson this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the second half on my stick , and I thought he absolutely strolled the game , he sat around the centre circle most of the half just making nice passes and controlling the pace of the game , he was excellent 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Why do we always have to have at least one complete donkey of a forward who gets far more game time than he should in reality? I know Danny Mullen got a lot of stick on here, but everyone knew what Mullen was before we signed him, and to be honest I thought he performed more or less exactly as expected, not below even mediocre expectations. It's guys like Moussa, Rudden, Craig Curran etc, seems to be a theme with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Doc can build a midfield and attack like that defence he's brought together then we are in for a treat. The red card Mulligan got is looking worse the more games we play. Rudden got assaulted 30 yards from Livi’s goal when taking on the last 2 defenders is only a yellow yet Mulligan’s is on the touchline about 80 yards from our goal with less of a challenge and deemed a red. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
