Dundee @ the Hedge

[LisleRightPeg]

This style of football is killing us. We need  to play a system that suits the players at our disposal. We badly need a midfielder who can break up the play. Our defence is all over the place. Walker is a big miss in there. I don’t think Billy and Adam have touched the ball in the Dundee half.

Looking forward to Duncoin's post match comments.

I want to see the interviewer explain to him that he needs to go mining for his new player budget.

Steady on. Youthful squad up against Premier league side...what do you expect?

[lightlamp2]

Queens park must love us. We've been an excellent feeder club for them.

Well, from 5-0 at HT, I'm pleasantly surprised we didn’t set a new record for heaviest ever defeat. And sadly that’s the best thing that can be said about this.

"We were obviously much stronger in the second half.  Sets us up well for the league.".

pretty grim reading but Dundee are a top six premier team and signed Murray who had a phenomenal season at 2nd worst team in league last season scoring 23 goals. ( I saw most of them).

Men against boys, or young boys, need to wait and see what happens when season starts next week. I assume Dundee took the foot off the gas 2nd half?

We all know it's going to be a huge effort to remain in league 1 with our young kids and over the hill seasoned pro's.

And, Bearing in mind last season's league cup with only one win, we didn't qualify with a much more experienced team!

Our aim is surely to beat Dumbarton and get confidence up!

What did Dunc make of that...

Do you mean in 2004… when Hugh Keevins was ultimately made to look very stupid and Graeme Spiers failed to eat his hat as promised?

Aye… I wonder what Pele is thinking?

We won't be playing Premiership teams every week, thankfully we can take solace from the fact the rest of our seaside league compatriates are crap too going by results.

[Jagsscotty]

One word - shambles.

[+Gringo]

Cast your minds back to 1994/95 season. League Cup. Our first season in the league. Dundee away on a Wednesday night. We lost 3-0. We're Dundee SPL back then? Just saying.

Dumbarton in the league next week. They finished last in their group in the league cup, so how we do against them will provide a better indicator of the challenge ahead.

..and back to Annan the week after. Reading the reports from our cup game there we did ok and were unlucky.

Not an easy watch. Looks like 2 og's by divine , poor pass by longstaff in his own box, a fluke by Murray

Dear oh dear..     some awful passing from us, These young lads will have to sharpen up for next week.  

I know we will not be up against teams like Dundee every week but this kind of result will affect the moral big time, And i can't big dufus being a motivating kind of manager!

Erm, thanks for sharing! The only positive moment for us in the highlights is that we won a throw-in in the opposition half. (However, it resulted in Dundee being through on our goal seconds later)

Looking at the starting 11 I'm not sure we can use the younger players as an excuse for this one.

From the highlights it could have been much worse as well.
