Dundee V Partick (19, Oct 2019)

[Iain T Campbell]

We beat Ayr and I think McCall himself would admit that the Jags are nowhere near as good as Ayr at this point. Their defence are no great shakes and their goalie is suspect. They have good players that can hurt if we do not approach the game properly. It won't be easy but 1-0 will do as it did against Ayr

Fox has a mistake in him but by the same token, he's sometimes unbeatable and single handedly wins points, he was a big money signing for them. Hopefully, it's the nervy one who turns up!

Funny enough my thoughts are our midfield is not good enough (off the ball ) and that’s why he opts for extra man . 

That might be what MCP thinks too, and hopefully there's a way to solve this problem on the training ground.

I hope it will be the Fox who makes blunders that does turn up at Dens. He can be a bit of an enigma, great one minute and then commits a howler. If we can get on the front foot early in the game we should pose them problems. MacCall, however, I think is the best coach in the championship by a long distance and he can pull victories out of the hat when it looks impossible to do so. We have to be wary, but I think Dorrans has brought something to the team that we were lacking.

I think the result at Tannadice has confirmed that we need the extra body in midfield rather than upfront. The Defenders along with the GK are simply not good enough and by packing the midfield it gives them further protection.

Who's "GK"?

[Blue4evr]

Ness still not fit. A game too soon, again. Suppose it's a bonus he appeared against the bairns the other day!

No sure if it's a serious question Blue ... But if so, Goal Keeper.

I really hope he is on a pay as you play deal. Not surprisingly given his past record he's a waste of a wage. 

Even Kevin Thomson played more games!

Got to agree with this, some players are just so prone to injury and he falls into this category. This is the reason he is at us in the championship, his ability is better than this league but he’s as good as any of us sitting in the stand every week. I’m sure his previous clubs fans had something similar to say when he left.

Yeah they did exactly that, I read their forum in the lead up to us signing him, and the comment was Nessie would be a good player for us if we can ever get him fit.

Dunfermline, Queen of the South and Morton are all decent-sized clubs having big problems this season but who managed to raise their game and produce a performance against Dundee. I wonder if Partick will do the same.
