    Many did say we'd be relegated by Christmas and who could blame them after the close season shambles and early season performances? Massive kudos to the manager / head coach and his team for turning it around and getting it right up a lot of fans and pundits. But why blow that kudos by not reaching for everything that's possible? I just don't get it.
    I buy a season ticket to see the manger play what team he thinks is suitable.

    Team selection is not a failure.

    The manager is the manager.

    You stick to ferries.

    Luke Graham gets injured that could mean a big difference on players coming in, Findlay came on on Saturday and deserved a start last night, unfortunately a soft early booking changed his game and didn?t reach the level he did Saturday, Hay got the start everyone shouts for him to get, made no difference to what Murray provides each week

    I thought when we equalised we looked more likely to go on and win, a soft penalty that came after an even softer free kick given by a terrible ref denied us, we came close to taking a point and I think all those moaning would think it was a master stroke by elvis,

    You sometimes get the feeling some can wait on us losing to have a moan or a pop at elvis, about 300 made the trip down, didn?t here much moaning about team selection on bus home more complaints about the refs performance
    It wasn't intended at a pop at the manager J,I just thought he would keep same defence that had 2 clean sheets and maybe freshen a cpl elsewhere.
    Probably just the way the results went pissed me off a bit as well could have been playing for 7th on Sunday.
    More cash, above the dabs etc etc.
    Hopefully get the win on Sunday and finish a respectable 8th.

    I buy a season ticket because I'm a life long Dundee FC supporter and want the club to thrive.
