They come to Dens, they tippy tappy the ball about and just coast through every game. Why do they do that- IMO it's because we and most other teams are just trying to keep the score down and perhaps nick a goal against the run of play. Come their CL games they are struggling because they can't defend and they get pressure put on them as soon as they get the ball.
4 visits from the OF, equals 4 borefests. Tv coverage guaranteed so non committed opposition fans give it a TV show and fewer PATG fans turn out.
