Let's push for wins against Killie and Hearts. If possible try to improve on pressing the opposition as soon as they get the ball.
I think that Docherty has done remarkably well to get a top 6 finish considering he has had to sign a lot of players on loan for this season.
This would never have happened if he had been appointed manager immediately after Nelmsy had sacked Gary Bowyer as manager.
At the end of last season there were only three players who had a contract for this season and two of them are now on loan at Raith Rovers.
I cannot remember the name of the third player who has a contract for this season.
Nelmsy gave contracts to a number of ‘out of contract’ players irrespective of who the next Dundee FC manager was and if the new manager thought that these players could play to his system in the team.
I can see a wholesale clear out of the bulk of these players at the end of next season as their two year contracts will not be renewed.
