Match Thread v Dundee (H)16th March

I?d like to see 3-4-3 with some width to go at them.

Don?t feel any of the January signings have been up to it and Campbell should be dropped now

Walton
Manny Dec G Graham
Strain Sevelj sibbaldi ferry
Middleton Dalby Trap

I'm usually a bit worried about 343 but this game might just be right for it with that exact lineup.

[LSArab]

I think it?s time for the wing attack. Trap needs to come on to his game and Middleton has been really great this season - plenty of assist and we need that threat and out ball

It?s a big derby given we are going for Europe and they are fighting the drop

Not quite a doon derby and hopefully we will be top half so avoid playing them again - this would be a good way to say cheerio and send them down to the championship

Too much talk of beating them comfortable and stuff, this will be a tough game as will St Johnstone at home

A win for the fun would be like a cup win given how long its been at Tannadice and would completely turn around their season around

Yea they are struggling and we have a good chance if we defend right but they are still a danger in attack, Cameron will be back after suspension, Shaughnessy is a threat at set pieces, always had been in his career, it's a derby we need to match the desire and outfight them first

No guarantee Ferry will be back either which would be a huge blow

Any type of wins in the upcoming games would be welcome over performance

Indeed, I don't think we should talking about hammering them. As good as we have been at times this season, I don't think we've looked like hammering anyone, least of all a Dundee side fighting for survival. This is a derby and the form book goes out the window - not that either team has shown any good form recently. It's been a long time since they won at Tannadice and that is bound to come to an end at some point, we just have to make sure it's not this Sunday.

Im not one for posting team selection and tactics, hoping for a strong performance and a win to keep this city tangerine

[JUSTaway]

We've only beat one team comfortably by scoreline - Ross county 3-0 all season, so any win likely be by narrow scoreline.

Too much talk of beating them comfortable and stuff, this will be a tough game as will St Johnstone at home

Its true that Stokie boy said we should be dishing out a hammering and James in the next post agreed but apart from that most of the other posts are more guarded regarding the result.I agree with you that any kind of win would be more than acceptable and to be really honest i do not think they are as bad as their league position suggests.

Its also worth asking if any Jim Goodwin team ever hands out a hammering?,he is a very cautious manager and his teams are prone to defending leads rather than extending them.

Rumblings on twitter that Graham is injured. The lack of depth in our squad is gonna make the finish to this season, very difficult!

[shedka]

Not our fault that Holt chose to go after the window which shouldn't be allowed

Hopefully not true, be worse if Ferry doesn't make it, as would add to Docherty and Moult

Meanwhile they have Cameron back and Fraser in contention

The new year derby was the closest we got to full strength this season in derbies

Seen the thing about RG on SM as well. Why the phuck do these ‘super fans’ tweet this scheite? Ok, so you may have come in to some knowledge but keep it to yourself FFS. Basically, the Doc now knows we’re struggling at the back and that we will now almost certainly play a back 4 with Manny and DG rather than a 3. So where does ‘revealing’ an ‘exclusive’ help us exactly? Phucking jerk offs.
