Any truth in the rumours that Simon Murray had a tshirt with "Beautiful Sunday" written on it, under his fun top? What an angry little plumber! We won that at an absolute canter...I don't think we played well but at no point after the first 20 minutes did it look like we were gonna lose that game. Pressley won't make it to Christmas. They have all the hallmarks of a relegated team. Here's hoping that we continue to gel and start to get some of our players back. Onwards and upwards!
It was a kinda strange derby, we were comfortable and playing ok first half, without making a load of chances, I was actually thinking they were starting to come into it a little, just before we scored the second, I was thinking as an attacking force second half we hadn't really done anything to that point, and were starting to get dragged a bit to their level, and if we didn't get the 3 pts given how poor they had been it would have been catastrophic, then we had that quickfire Dolcek chance with his right and then the goal, and it was game over, prob should have added a third, without really having to get out second gear.
The main thing with a derby is always to get the win first and foremost, was important to get off the mark with our first three points too, and chance to get some returning injured players more fitness now with international break. There is some exciting potential with this team, but I think the key is going to be how good the defence is, great to get a shut out on Sunday, but hard to make a proper judgement on it yet because Dundee literally offered nothing in attack.
Must be first time a team has lined up in a Dundee derby without a Scotsman? Dispelled any myth our player wouldn't get the importance of a derby and be up for the fight. Also Dolcek must have had had as many attempts at goal as everyone else on the park put together.
I'm still annoyed gutted at the Killie cup match given how poor Celtic and Rangers are this season. I honestly think had we not been coming off the back of the Rapid extra time mental and physical exertions we'd have beat Killie, who did not impress me that match.
