johnnydun Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Big game. Can Dundee go clear at the top or will they do the most Dundee thing and fail to capitalise? Can Rovers even field a team? Join us for our game in hand. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I’d expect no more than three outfield players on the bench, and probably only one or two. It’s shite, but there’s very little scope for playing a delayed game, so I expect we have to go. As it stands, we’ll have Nolan, Young and Ngwenya as the defence…I suspect Brown will have to be rested, likewise Millen and Lang. Stanton can’t carry to DM role, but what choice is there if Spencer remains out? Without Millen, and without Brown as the second CB, 5-0 Dundee, possibly worse. With Brown at CB, 3-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Yeah this is going to be horrific. If Dundee play well another 7-0 isn't out of the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Does seem to he a bit of a thing this season to play Dundee with an injury crisis. We gave a good battle to get a draw at Stark's earlier in the season under similar circumstances, but really Dundee should be looking to win here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, you don’t get to postpone games because of injuries. You fill your starting 11/bench with 16 and 17 year olds like every other club has to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your first part, and choosing to go with a squad this size is a decision the club has made, but we also don't have an academy. Beyond a couple of modern apprentices (one of whom is injured), we don't have any 16 or 17 year olds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 You can sign boys from Sunday League, like Dundee were made to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got enough players to fill a starting eleven, they're just not particularly good, and certainly not well balanced. Our season is done anyway, who cares? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 There's always the option of registering goalkeepers as outfielders and unretiring your coaching staff, like we were made to do last season. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/farcical-dundee-bench-consists-assistant-25788506.amp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkcaldybanjo111 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Rovers are done for the season. Easy three points for every opponent for the last five games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
