DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Disappointed to lose thst tonight - we are our own worst enemy sometimes. Beating Livi is a must on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Lost the head on Saturday. Could easily do again tonight. Have to wonder what Docherty's thinking has been over the past 2 games (and games where we go 2 up in general). Awk well, onto the next one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players need to take responsibility too. You have enough experience in your squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have enough experience in your squad. 14 points we've lost from winning positions this season. Multiple times we've been in the lead and multiple times by more than one goal. We've not got a lot of dig in our team so when Docherty tries to go and play McInnes-ball it's always asking for trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 2nd half bottle crash yet again, just glad that pen never went in, 'put your arm on a players shoulder and he falls over?' absolute fucking nonsense from var yet again, and moronic officials. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaughnessy is good at marshalling the defence but other than that I’m not sure we have anyone that can stamp their authority not only on the game but their teammates as well.

Was amazed Cameron wasn’t hooked in the second half and Sylla (say) not brought on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netan Sansara Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 This has been a shite week to be a Dee. Cannot chuck away 2 goal leads as regularly as we do. There’s something very wrong with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee-FC92 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Tonight wasn't the capitulation of Perth, Motherwell and Kilmarnock. Hearts were the better side the whole 90 minutes and looked likely to score on multiple occasions. We scored a good goal on the break (great from Costelloe) and the first was one of limited attacks throughout the whole match. Realistically 2 0 at HT was a godsend rather than deserved. The first goal for them comes out of nothing and the frustration mightve grown had the match went on a bit longer. Weak, weak defending for the 2nd and 3rd. Far too easy to get past McGhee for the second and it was identical on Costelloe two minutes before where Hearts should've levelled. Sylla shoul'dve been on for McCowan and I would've had Cameron off earlier when you're looking to hold out at a tough venue away. Our defence looked weak tonight and if you look at the situation with injuries we have to hope it'll improve. Hearts deserved the win tonight and were the better team. Thank you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always change tact when things are going out way, it's actually psychotic. I get that we were playing into the wind but falling back deeper and deeper was a recipe for disaster. Losing the first goal should have prompted a change - he should have brought on Sylla to shore up the midfield and taken off Costelloe.

Struggling to get on board with the docherty hype train I must say. I don't buy into the celebration of where we currently are just because we usually stink the place out. The season isn't over, we could still finish 11th and go down. It's not inconceivable. Motherwell and livi can't be terrible for the rest of the season and saints have turned a wee corner under levein. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM_0803 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Starting with Carson tonight. He did well with the penalty but did anyone else clock how many times he kicked it out in the first half, or lost it down mcghees side? Getting a bit tired of his poor passing even if he is a decent shot stopper. Thought ashcroft and shaughnessy were decent enough, especially Joe. Not convinced by the left back, but prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. Big shoes to fill and all that. Mcghee also decent again and took his goal well. Midfield is an area of concern for me, and that's due to Doc. For me the best midfielders are boateng and mulligan, and they seldom get picked together. A good mix of physicality with MB and ball playing directness from JM. What has reilly got to do to get a start? His cameos against Hibs, County. Killie (cup) and tonight have all been good imo so what's up with that? Up front now. Bakayoko has strength and height but rarely seems to win headers in the air. Robinson was poor especially first half (whether he can't press well or was told to sit back by Doc, who knows)...less said about main the better. Prepared to give him time obviously but we need a striker that is also a goalscorer. Get some pace in and around the strikers for a change. Team for Saturday is fairly straightforward. Carson Ashcroft. Shaughnessy Mcghee. Dodgeson Mulligan. Boateng Tiffoney. Mccowan. Reilly Main 4231. Ditch the 2 strikers and the back 3. Thought the back 4 tonight was okay so would keep it against Livi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee-FC92 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Costelloe definitely isn't the dud many Dundee fans on here latched onto from the Perth roasters. Bit of a disgrace the reaction to his signing IMO. Looks like a really good young talent but defending clearly isn't his strongest point. With the current defensive injuries I'm hoping the Doc will go to a back four against the Livi - allowing Reilly and Constelloe to play as out and out wingers. If McCowan is injured then it'll give the chance to play Boateng and Sylla aswell. I'd be looking at: Carson McGhee Shaugnessy Ashcroft Dodgson Reilly Sylla Boateng Costelloe Bakayoko Robinson 4-4 facking 2. Thank you.

RossBFaeDundee Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Was obviously disappointed, but genuinely wasn't annoyed until I saw the highlights. Defending was abysmal on those last two goals, whole backline ball-watching and both Dodgson and Costelloe marking Shankland for their 2nd, leaving Lembikisa wide open, and then the 3rd goal every player looked like training dummies, rooted to the ground and just let Oda pick his spot. No wonder Docherty said no fingers were pointed in the dressing room after, that was a collective shite-the-bed from the entire squad. It's so frustrating because this squad is nearly there, but just isn't fully. Something needs to change and I'd agree that the dedication to the formation is part of the problem, but I just don't see Docherty having the confidence to do that. The squad need to get their composure under pressure back, as it seems lost now. Have to win on Saturday, lest we want to feel the weight of properly being dragged back into the shit. They've done so well at bouncing back from disappointment this season, but that's the first time we've lost back-to-back games this season and I hope that's the motivation needed to pick up performances for the whole 90 minutes now rather than becoming a trend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
