    Missed opportunity

    Thought we may have started with a stronger team last night and the way the results went definitely should have.
    I get the manager wanting to give fringe players some minutes but in hindsight 7th could have been achieved.
    No sure the difference in cash per place but would have been nice to try and finish as high as possible.

    Tools are down across the club. And they wonder why Dundee fans don't want to buy season tickets.

    Did enough for a draw, dodgy penalty.

    8th would be excellent.

    Don't you think it was a missed opportunity to finish 7th and more cash for club?

    Definitely a missed opportunity to finish 7th, didn't go to game but stats say it was bossed by Killie.
    7 changes from 2 good victories with clean sheets.
    It's not a dig at Pressley as he wanted to give players minutes but thought we would have started a stronger 11.

    No didn't think we wud get 7th with games left, 8th possible now though, some rested players may come back in for last game.

    To be more exact with dabs games left.

    St m will prob rest most of their main men now as well

    Dont get me wrong 8th will be above my initial expectation for the season,just thinking if we won last night st mirren would probably have beaten the dabs on sunday making 7th a big possibility.

    It's not about excuses, I've already bought my season ticket for next season by the way. The club has downed tools in my opinion, sending out what was essentially a very weakened team against a side that were always going to be right up for it verged on a disgrace; a team that included a centre half who hasn't kicked a ball in anger for over six months and who risked serious injury on that disgrace of a pitch down there. United went down there and did similar, no effort to win the game, and Dundee fans were up in arms - were they trying to help Killie get above us so that Dundee might hit that play off place? Some Dundee fans thought so (not me by the way). Couldn't really blame anyone - Dundee or St. Mirren fans - for finding that team selection by Pressley absolutely unacceptable. Even the barely literate Radio Scotland pundits commented on it before the game.

    We've used the expression professional integrity in the past when talking about things that have happened in other places and that might have had an effect on us. I see what happened yesterday as a lack of professional integrity by Dundee FC. Possible seventh place finish? Na, just lie down and help stop Killie hitting the play off.

    Now, I'm off to adjust my tin foil hat because it's starting to slip and is letting some reality in.

    Can you imagine the outcry from punters if Graham had played last night and got a bad injury, the manager looked at the long term last night instead of the short term, and what was best for the club.

    We are best in the world for making excuses not to attend matches at dens, but this sounds like a new one.

    Relegated by Xmas wasn?t it
