IMO Murray is a massive improvement on Moussa who hasn’t scored a single goal from open play in the league. Murray will improve Dundee’s attack so it’s hard to argue that it’s not a good move for Dundee. Unfortunately that may very well say more about Moussa than anything else.

Dirty Arab 83 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Murray can do well for the Dee, a player who needs game time and should get that at Dens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny arab Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 While we have increased the squad this transfer window the big question is have we improved it? Darren Taylor's position has to be reviewed at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch us if you can January was certainly terrible but that's more to do with the fact that we lost our two most important players to season ending injuries and the rest of team (and manager it seems) fell to pieces. Remains to be seen whether the signings will help recover the position, or at least give us a chance in the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 No need to worry: Stephen Thompson has turned his attention to the USA in an attempt to spend £3 million starting up a team in the National Independent Soccer Association.

It happens we also had a few of our best players out for half the season thankfully they are back now. It's about squads good back up but you know that. I'm surprised by this window thought United would have gone all out saying that no idea of the players brought in apart from the striker. Big game this Saturday will be interesing to see how United stand up at a diffiult venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say if you guys lost Morgan and McGinn for the season it would be comparable to us losing Fyvie and Fraser (although Fraser's a crock so perhaps we should have seen that one coming). Doesn't excuse the fact that the team has completely collapsed and stopped doing all the good things we were doing previously - like passing the ball to teammates and making tackles.

Accent-Unknown Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Gordon Young - talk to me. He had three matches as caretaker, scored 10, won 2, and drew 1. Seems likely he was the competent assistant to Mixu’s nuttiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Davis and Magennis out from July to Xmas. And we were top of the League. Both these players went straight back into the team when they were fit strengthening it considerably - especially Davis. Don't use injuries as an excuse - all teams get them. Just get a decent squad instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get a decent squad instead. The key thing here is the marked (from 1 game to the next) dip in form, confidence, cohesion, intelligence, penetration, and anything else you can say positive about being able to play good football) that we experienced following the loss of Fyvie and Fraser. The same thing happened when we lost Dodds to TTFKAR in the late 90s. We went from top 2 or 3 to a relegation battle in half a season. He just made us tick and pretty much everything went through him. This balance (like ours now) was completely fucked up when he left, and we went into a tailspin that nearly sunk us. (IIRC the Dees went down that year, but it went to the last game of the season). Footy fans will always use injuries (or pretty much anything else) as an excuse as to why their team isn't doing the business. Key thing is, excuses change f**k all; we are where we are, and as it stands, we're not going up, regardless of whatever excuses we come up with. That being said, there is no doubting that the loss of these 2 creative players has affected us badly, however the rest of them need to deal with it; that's what they are paid for.
