Houston We Have A Problem!

[greenbananas]

Tactics, formations, lightweights...stubborn bar steward

Fast forward to Dec/Jan...will we be talking about the same things?

[Billy Campbell's Ghost]

Yes

[gblue]

Things don't look good at this moment 

[Ivan Drago]

With the current group of players yes we will. 

Tbf today only Duffy and Loy were viable options from the bench for me. Wighton is at a point where he needs to translate that potential into performances. Badly need a new forward and fullback

Was reading Sheep Mad the other day and they have all the same complaints about their team. The only difference between us and them is they have slightly better players because they have more money to spend.

If we were to watch Motherwell, Ross County, ICT, Partick, Killie, Hamilton or St Johnstone every week, we'd probably find the same limitations with that team.

All you can really do at a club like Dundee is build a strong spirit in the dressing room, be competitive every week, grind out points when you can and take advantage of the bits of luck that come your way.

By New Year could be no way back

If we'd held on to our lead today we would have moved 4th above Rangers so a bit premature to be fearing us being cast adrift at the bottom by New Year.

We will not go down this season and I'm confident we'd finish higher than last season. We've got a team of battlers and finally have the centre of defence sorted out. Plenty for us to work on but we'll get there.

Tactics and formation seems to be questionable every game so far is season. Poor individual performances aside, Hartley's not looking too clever all of a sudden and costing us games.

cobra i wouldn't expect us to be bottom by new year, but its now looking like the rangers result was worse than we 1st thought and aberdeen came today in poor form but won easily enough in the end. I fear for us this year tbh and i dont think the managers capable or willing to change things

Where is the evidence?. 1 win in 6. No wins and 2 points at home out of 4. Goal diff of -1. We've played Killie & Hamilton at home and Well away.

Jury still out on the defence. Worse midfield. Worse attack.

Where is the next win coming from?.

"We will not go down this season" I wish I had your confidence cobra! I really fear for us this season and looking at our next 4 fixtures I think we will be in the bottom two after those matches

But we were nowhere NEAR keeping that 1-0 lead Cobra.
I appreciate your optimism, I really do, but you'd be as well saying "If we'd scored another 5 we would have won."
