I'd like to see Woods and Ccurran take a seat, but they're County boys so I don't see it happening. Nelson or Miller need to be on from the start, and then if we get ahead then Ccurran should be the late sub to see out the game. Right now I think JM has it backwards regards to our forwards.

An injury time equaliser hurts though especially now given our situation. 

I thought Woods was very good today. Curran run himself into the ground and we struggled to hold the ball when he come off.

It just shows how people see football differently but I found a lot of fans giving Woods pelters today pretty bizarre. Robson was completely anonymous.

I really hope JM wouldn’t pick a weaker team out of some sort of obscure loyalty from yesteryear. 

Doesn’t explain why our top scorer is now always on the bench though!

Harry how was big Hadenius and where did he play?

Curran being plucked from United's bench to spearhead our attack doesn't make any sense other than the fact he's a County old boy.

With Nelson supposedly not 100% surely Miller had to start against the team he smashed a brilliant hat-trick against not so long ago.

McIntyre left County fans bemused with his selections and it seems he'll give us plenty to take about as well. That said, he looks to have made some very decent signings so I'm pretty confident we'll stay up.

I see games all the time where teams see out games in the opposition half. Never seems to happen when Dundee are a goal ahead though. We sit too deep and either concede or have a massive left-off.

Just this. We need to sort out how we defend. It is not just about the players but more about what they do and how they defend AS A Team..

I thought he was OK but when things got a bit more stramashy at the end, there were a few little blips in communication.

He sat in front of the defence. Played everything simple and had a couple of good moves.

I'm undecided on him yet but I don't think he did much wrong. He looked more ready than Robson anyway.

To be honest, it was a really tough ask all these guys coming in today. I was a bit surprised when the teams come out. Ryan McGowan I think will be really good for us, him and Kusunga were pretty solid and consistent for the whole game - they'll be absolutely sick at conceding.

They are Dundee players and should get our support as should all who wear the Dundee colours.

Thanks for that!

I agree about starting all 5 players in such a big game. Was concerned as I thought there would be too many changes in what would have been a relegation scrap.

Hopefully our new guys can get bedded in quickly and help us move up the table!

It's a bad moment for us. Where are the wins going to come from before the split?

Dundee v Killie Draw
Livi v Dundee Away win
Dundee v Hibs Draw
Rangers v Dundee Away win 
Dundee v Hearts  home win
Dundee v Celtic Loss
St Mirren v Dundee Away win
St Johnstone v Dundee Draw
Dundee v Aberdeen Loss

We really need the other two to keep dropping points on a weekly basis if we're going to stay up.

15 points there ..............now don't wake me up enjoying my dream.

You have to agree though that Craig Curran brings a work rate and battling quality at least?

He's not fancy but I can see why a manager would want him in the team. Kenny is great finishing and has a great brain but playing a Hamilton side without Matthew Kilgallon and the team having so much possession was a different prospect than today. I would like to see Curran play with someone though.

I think taking him off hurt us tbh. I get why he did it but the ball didn't stick at all after it. Kenny won a few smart fouls etc but I think Hamilton were happy to not have Curran charging into them.

For those who were at the game, is Dieng still convincing as our number 1 keeper or should Parish be brought back in?

Sounds like he made a couple of fantastic saves to keep us in the game but was at fault for their goal?

To be fair, the stramash at the end was quite unfortunate. Same old story but it was a weird build up and I think the 'keeper ended up needing to try and put pressure on and then our disorientation and spin of the ball were perfect for the thing to break.

Good performance for 5 new players in. I think we look a much stronger side but need to gel quick. I thought we got better as the game went on but some decision making could have been better, Wright played well but you could see he's lacking experience. A few bits of miscommunication where we panicked but that will be improved I hope.

It doesn't count for anything and we don't think in that way as Dundee fans but I think any objective neutral would say we're marginally most likely of the bottom three to come out on top - that's pretty much the Sportsound summary from the bit I heard.

I don't think Killie will waltz into Dens and take the points IMO.

I agree that we can get a result against Killie, Jmac has a few days to work with the guys which will help.

I’m getting a wee bit concerned about our goalkeeping coach, too many mistakes from keeper after keeper.

Going into injury time, a keeper must find row z or out the park with his clearances, that must be drummed into them.
