Dee Youths Vs Killie

[Wattie Rojas]

A very young team drew 1-1 with killie.

We had a 20 year old, two 18 year olds and the rest 14-17. 

Really impressed by Finlay Robertson in cm and Matt Henvey up front. Think they are 15 and 16.

The 2 centre halves were decent too

[Wattie Rojas]

Actually Finlay is only 14.

Very good result, considering the bad form the young lads have had of late and considering that most of them were 14-16 age.

Have we stopped using the first team players now? I noticed that the last few line-up we haven't used anyone who would be considered fringe or first team players.

Is this the "new manager effect" starting to spread throughout the club already... I'm willing to believe anything just now

If it is, dinnae be using it up too early .Hud a big chunk back for the game on Sat But Weel Done the Young Lads

We were away on Tuesday to Inverness which sometimes means we're less willing to send players if it means them missing training and on a Thursday, we generally don't have any first teamers just because it's so close and one injury could mean we become reliant on somebody to play a whole game on the Saturday. Last night also meant that our loan players who are of development age (Allan, Colquhoun, Skelly and Curran have been ineligible since they went away in January) and usually play (Quigleyand Smyth) were left out for the same reason.

Gadzhalov, Ross and Ojamaa played against Rangers ten days ago and we still do usually do it if we aren't playing midweek and it's on the Tuesday.

Interestingly, Dryden and Ian Smith played 90 minutes on the Tuesday and Thursday which has surprised me a little because I thought McCann would maybe have them in consideration since they will likely be making up the match day squad.
