Dundee FC V Queens 30/11/2019

Has anyone got over the disappointment of last Saturday yet that they feel ready to discuss this Saturday's match? Our second trip to the City of Discovery in a fortnight which hopefully won't see us suffer the same fate as the recent showing at United's ground. Hopefully there is some good news on the injury front, I would be a bit more confident going into this if Kilday, El Bak and Hamilton had a chance of being involved. After our last two results and performances, especially the QP one, the Management and players should be busting a gut to get back on a winning track, but such is the unpredictability of this division the outcome of any game is almost impossible to call. Dundee will obviously start as favourites but we all know that with Queens anything can happen. Come on "Magic" get the players' heads up for this game and give the fans something to cheer. I'm sure with a run of 2 or 3 good results the Queens Park result won't seem quite as bad. (even though it still will be)

We desperately need these injured players back ASAP as we know how the team can perform with them in it. We also need a goal from Sir Stephen. He’s looking really frustrated out there and a goal or two will boost his confidence.

Let's hope the Queens Park result is put behind us and the players concentrate on the league.

The players do have the ability, - we've seen that against Dundee Utd and Ayr, - so we just need to pull together and we'll be fine.

'Mon the South!

Hopefully Jardi as last night's draw between Partick and Alloa has inched them a wee bit closer to us and it is extremely tight between the bottom clubs now.

Referee: Alan Muir

AR1: Gary Hilland

AR2: Craig Macrae

Any squad injury updates for the match?

Not so far

Injury situation appears to be clearing with only young Hamilton definitely ruled out of the match. After last week's debacle it is important that the players at the very least show some fight and that they are on board with the management team. A win is very unlikely at Dens Park but with the right attitude and commitment we may just scrape a draw. Mon the South.

As you say Spike, the very least we should expect is that the players show a bit of commitment and fight, a defeat however disappointing is at last more bearable if you can see a bit of effort going in. Irrespective of any alleged friction behind the scenes the players are professionals and should be striving to do their best in every game. The Management share a responsibility too, to employ tactics that play to our players' strengths which means at least not continually punting high balls up to our front men.

Punting high balls to our short forwards is both futile and the most frustrating thing to watch therefore should only happen when there are no other options available.
