Ludo*1 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 Lot of talk about our wing backs but the defending from Ashcroft and Sweeney has been up there with some of the poorest I've seen. They've not accurately marked a player all game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I’m sure MK Dons we’re fully expecting James McPake to lead newly promoted Dundee to victory away to Celtic in their opening home game of the season Edited August 8, 2021 by RossDee01 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Dundee giving Christie too much space and making him look like Messi.Hartson thinks Christie is World Class now.Jesus wept.Any player would look great if the opposition stood off them like we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the obvious issues in defence we look today considerably better than we did at my point last season especially going forward. Signings also appear to be of better quality Abada and Kyogo already look capable of running riot in this league. Aye the 2 lads you mentioned already look to good for this league. They are absolutely pishing it today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not accurately marked a player all game. Ashcroft I can't understand what fans see good about him defensively. Going forward and scoring goals at corners / free kicks he did well last season. Our defence hasn't been strengthened. Was surprised many fans think we would finish above 8th ( please see the other thread for predictions, all be it not our fans predicted this) The defence needs addressed pronto. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that we could do with one or two more in but it doesn’t help that Elliott has been out injured, Kerr is injured and Fontaine is injured. That’s 3 of the back 4 that started the playoff final against Killie out injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defence is appalling but we still have the perennial problem of a midfield that stands back and let's the opposition do what they want or waltz through unchallenged.It's not just the defence where we are lacking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the defence where we are lacking. Absolutely. Third worst record. But stats are we got promoted. The main stat. This is now survival. Between us and Ross County. I'd take 11th and fight the play off with whoever. A long season ahead. Edited August 8, 2021 by Robin.Hood 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S7C Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I can't think of a better home debut since Nakamura's. Not just because of the hat trick. He works his arse off pressing and chasing defenders down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can get 10th but we need to wake up and smell the salts soon - start fighting fir every ball instead of this powder puff stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
