The DM reminiscing zone

[pieandbovrilman]

He always seemed to think he was too good to need to use subs to run down the clock. That game at pittodrie when motherwell pipped us to 2nd always bugged me.

Any other manager would have used up his subs in the last couple of minutes to break up play and run down the clock but not our DM. Of course they go on and get a winner a minute in to added time.

Now I always remember DM hadn't used all his subs but trying to find the stats of that game I don't think he had made any subs at all in the whole game.

I was at that game too , canna remember if he used any subs but he was bad for that.

The signs of his limitations were there even then , we were odds on favorites for the Scottish cup and to finish 2nd that season after winning the league cup and we failed with both.

On the other hand , how many years credit in the bank would he have had if he did the cup double ?

To be fair, if the free kick had been taken from the right place and if that hun c@nt McLean had given the free kick for Sutton pole-axing Langfield the strategy would have worked.
