    That substitution

    Is the decision if a manager that to the easy option, the smallest player less likely to kick off, Cummings or McGowan had to go off, even when he made the change I never noticed a change in the formation, the mans out his depth we need to change before it’s to late

    I think McPake was a bit shocked by the reaction of the fans to the substitution.

    That tells me he hasn't got a scooby; bunch of amateurs in the stand could have told him a better change but he made a mind boggling one, only worse change he could have made would have been to put McMullan in goal

    We’re not all tactical genius’s, although some may like to think it, but when the vast majority are up in arms over it we can’t all be wrong.

    I get bringing a subbie on to change things…but he kept the same formation.

    Cummings had to go surely? If he’s not in the box he’s no good as a defensive right midfielder who’s all left foot.

    That's the 2nd time at home we have named 2 strikers to then put 1 in midfield. He did it with jakubiak also. Play 2 up front or don't play 2 strikers, it doesna work.

    Last night I was sitting in the Main Stand almost in line with the Dundee dugout.
    When the board was held up prior to McMullens crazy substitution Leigh Griffiths looked towards the board and I believe that Griffiths thought that he was going to be substituted.
