That Today

[Prince Buster]

Was a total embarrassment and half the players on the park should never play for Dundee again; likewise the manager should never be in charge of another Dundee game. The whole place could see we were being ripped down our left early on but it never changed. I've no issue with opposition scoring from corners, it happens, but usually it's their corners they score from.

Goalkeeper, right back, centre half, midfield enforcer, left sided midfielder are minimum requirements as far as I can see or just forget play offs.

That today was as bad as it gets

[Ferry pub crawl]

Pathetic performance, absolutely sick of this 

[Mr Sensible]

Was as bad as I’ve seen in years....

Zero fight, most of them looked like they would be anywhere but Dens....

We have no pace in that midfield, becomes even harder when we are outnumbered...

Need to hope the rumours are correct about new signings, cause we are still miles off it.

Could not be any worse than the last Dens derby, surely?.

Totally disjointed in all areas.

The reality is we are in this division until we sort ourselves out.All the teams in this league make the most of their limited resources and give their fans a reason to watch them.We would still be in the premier if we had realised half our potential.Until something changes at the top we will be here indefinitely struggling against sides who have nowhere near our resources and the blame for this lies with John Nelms.I don’t blame mcpake,even though he doesn’t have a clue,he’s living the dream and we are the victims.Nelms is slowly killing this club.Tim Keyes should be informed of the resources these other clubs survive on and question our inability to compete with them.NELMS GTF!.

Have to say that was up there with some of our worst performances of the last couple of years.  If there was a game plan apart from hump it towards the 6' 4" guys in the ICT defence I must have missed it.  Whatever it was it should have been changed after 30 minutes because it just wasn't working.  How the same team came out for the 2nd half I just do not know.  Bossed, out fought and out thought again. I thought after 10 minutes that it had to get better for us but it got worse.  We could not pass to our own players, control the ball and everyone was just standing still.

ICT are so much a better team than us it's hard to believe. The result did not flatter them.  Pass marks to 3 or 4 players only. the rest were very poor.

That was basically the Inverness game away replicated, really could have been embarrassing. The narrow formation stuff forcing midfielders onto the park is just so vulnerable and Robertson has worked us out long ago.

The truth is, I don't really see new signings doing much to that though. We've been incoherent in our approach the whole season.

Comparing both sides. Inverness have a squad of players who were laughed and chased out of rival clubs (White, Rooney, Donaldson, Vincent, McKay, Ridgers off the top of my head have fans somewhere arguing they were their clubs worst ever signings) whilst we have a team who everyone is raving about in the summer as being good 'on paper'.

I don't know why it's the case that players seem to come here and suddenly look utter sh**e but competent elsewhere. We pushed the boat out to sign Byrne on a long term contract and transfer fee with the manager fully aware that his style of play is very different to where he's thrived - that sort of waste of money is why we've been a laughing stock in Scottish football for seasons.

There's a few occasions this season where we've deployed a game plan well and shown promise but we've consistently looked well off being a top 3 side which I think would have been our expectation.

No width and easy to play against, hemmings has to come to midfield to get a touch. Can't see the current manager changing it.

[Maxwell]

Where do you start? Everything is just absolutely wrong.Tactics, pace of play, application, concentration - all miles off.

Someone needs to take charge of this wreckage and sort it out pronto.

[Spiritof62]

It’s either:-

The wrong players signed.

The wrong Tactics.

The wrong coaches.

The wrong manager.

Or all the above.

One thing is certain and that it’s unacceptable for fans to be paying for this anti football.
