Crowd V The Dabs

[Prince Buster]

Given that we're playing quite well and picking up points and that United are struggling to string two passes together I fear for the crowd against them in the upcoming derby.

They have previous for not wanting to go to Dens when their team's looking like they might lose.

Play like we did in the first half today and I'm afraid it will be the usual outcome.

Why?

We conceded one goal against the second best side in the league in the first half today. United aren't that are they?

We were better in second half and could (not should) have beat them.

They will sell there 4100 no problem........

whether we sell out is another matter

We will if it's PATG.

[Mr Sensible]

We will if it's PATG.

We should be selling out for home derbies

But 25 quid midweek and live on the telly doesn't help

Maybe it's just me but I thought it was a tactical masterclass from Hartley today. With our creative players unavailable, we decided to focus on containing a strong Aberdeen side, get in their faces and avoid giving them space to create chances while trying to hit them on the break. I felt it worked really well until their opener.

You must have been at a different game from me then. We could barely string two passes together in the first half. Defence looked all over the place at times. We started to compete the last half an hour and were much better. All IMHO

First 65 minutes was brutal too watch.....

We still take far too long to get from front to back, good result all the same

One more win could seal top 6

For all their attacking talent I don't remember Aberdeen having a single chance in the first 35 minutes. We should have had a penalty IMO and S. McGinn nearly scored the opener with a fine effort that went just wide. I wasn't at all bothered that Aberdeen had a lot of possession and passed the ball better. Today was about grinding out a result against a stronger team to stay in the hunt for top six, and we went about it really well. Defensively we were poor at the end of the first half, start of the second but otherwise I thought we were solid and good value for the point.

Again thats your opinion which I happen to disagree with. I am happy with the result but it was no way a "tactical masterclass" for me.
