    Have we went back to that crap zonal marking? I heard Jim mention that the players know who they should be marking, which would contradict the zonal thing, but so many free headers, whether on target or knock-ons. Not to mention the free back post, scary.

    Hopefully, if the fans can see it, the coaches can too. We based our play on clean sheets, then progressed from that as a match went on. Now it looks like for a wee while it might have to be ...we will (have to) score more than you.

    Not so easy with our striker situation. In saying that, it's a derby match, anything can happen. I'm thinking we might get a game full of set pieces and long throws. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

    The Derry will not accept their team playing that way against us so Elvis has got to take the shackles off and that Could be key for us IF we can defend properly.
    Interesting stats

    I think the funsters though will accept a defensive display if it gives them a chance v us

    I hope what I'm going to say below is just a lot of bs, apart from the last sentence.

    A quote about insanity, about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

    I just hope Iovu can stay with his man and beat him to the ball. Sevelj was POTY last year but has had an indifferent start to this season mainly being played anywhere but his preferred position. Sibbald has played well this season imo and on that basis merits his midfield position more than Sevelj. Sevelj has scored in the derby before, however he also lost Murray in the early moments of the other derby.

    I hope by saying this the exact opposite happens.

    But on the other hand Dolcek and Fatah might destroy them.

    True and I hope that is very much the case. It would be nice to win again at Dens. I'll be sorry when Dens is no more, some serious history made at that ground for us with sensational goals as well.

    I switched Premier Sports on only to find they were broadcasting the Simon Murray Show. What the actual f##k

    Get it up you all 👍

    1-0 is a dangerous score, need to turn our superiority into more goals.

    And PS do they Derry fans practice booing all week? It's all I ever hear from that stand.

    We are playing ok but not turning that into chances, Dundee have been terrible, but surely can't be that bad second half, still nervous our defence went will make a costly error.

    We've not been great but will take the easy win.

    The Funsters look relegation material based on this performance.

    Great goal by Sapsford. Hitting the byline has its rewards. Keep it up United. Dolcek could have a had hat-trick, haven't had a player like him since Robson. MOTM for me Stephenson. Clean sheet tae.

    Agent Pressley keep up the sterling job your doing with DFC.
