You're like a broken gramophone record with you're constant negativity. Yes, and scoring more goals than us means scoring one goal. No goals now for 3 games, no wins in 4 games. Apart from Aberdeen, all of these matches against poor opposition. Anything against Dundee is a bonus. Morton the week after will be the must win for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were unlucky not to score a few times yesterday, and nothing ran for us in the box. New players bedding in too. We've no reason to be scared of Dundee, and talking about "must wins" this early on is daft. Just like the start of last season you have us down for relegation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll play attractive passing football from 18 yard box to 18 yard box but be worse than useless unfortunately in either of these said boxes. I haven’t seen Dundee yet, all I have to go on is the scoreline from their home defeat yesterday, but I still agree with the comment above. I suppose I haven’t seen Rovers yet either. Maybe we are really good. I’ll find out at the Morton game the following week. Go Rovers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be ready. Kicking the arse of our one centre back, who has played 15 games since 2019? What tweaks is he going to make that see us beat Dundee? Currently, I’m also in the @Ro Sham Bo camp this season in thinking we could be relegated. Our summer recruitment has been very disappointing. It started off with the League 1 player of the year, which looks great, but letting all four of our centre backs leave and signing one to replace them, then hoping a midfielder and left back can do for the other replacements is the stuff of nightmares. We are weaker up front than we were last season. On the plus side, we are sorted in midfield, or will be when all the crocks return. If I’m being optimistic about this game, it’s early in the season and Dundee are maybe out of sorts.

Ordinarily I'd agree, and I think there's a bit of over-reacting going on given that yesterday was one match, and three points, in a 36 match league season, however, Dundee have been slow starters every single season for years now which has left us having to fire-fight the rest of the way and claw ourselves up to where we really should be. We finished miles off the pace in the shortened season, further behind Hearts than we should have the year we won the playoffs, and as you'll no doubt recall only pinched 2nd by the skin of our teeth on the final day. We thought we had appointed a competent manager for a change, I still believe we have, so speaking for myself I was hoping we'd avoid our usual nonsense, hit the ground running, and be up in the title fight right from the get-go. We can still do that with a win on Saturday, but if we were to lose then it's likely we'd be looking at a 6 point deficit already, and be straight back into our usual keech of being off the pace for most of the first half, playing catch-up, and ultimately under-achieving thanks to a poor start. It's not 'must win' for us either, but I think it is a hugely important 3 points for Dundee if we're not to be in danger of another "Groundhog Day" season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding Dang Doo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Dundee are better than Cove and will create more. So unless we suddenly have a defence next week the result is only going one way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Being born at Forth Park hospital in Kirkcaldy, I like Raith Rovers, and at the couple of times Dundee have come close to financial ruin, I looked into who else I would support, it was always going to be Rovers. That being said, Dundee didn't go bust and as a Dundee fan I must keep up the facade of being an unlikeable c**t to all other diddy mobs. Rovers are going to get pumped, we will be raging at the errors that cost us against a poor Patrick Thistle side, so we must make our intentions clear. Bend over cuntos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
