Author: onandupthepars Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 12:01 Ref:partake, Sun 6 Oct 00:31 `I would expect all fair minded supporters to stick with with it, applaud James` fortitude and cut the guy a bit of slack in these uniquely challenging times for everyone connected with DAFC.` ----------------------------------------------------------- Well said partake. We are where we are. Are we gonna fight or fold? It doesn`t look to me like JM or any of our staff have gi`en up. Imagine, JM had a season-long avalanche of injuries. He just starts to get a hold of this season, and the one player we`ve been crying out for - a goalie in form - he brings in - and now he`s feckin` injured! I think we might have had better results if we hadn`t had that stab to the heart from Feckin`Fate. Deniz is a capable goalie but he`s not on form. Tobi made a significant difference. When he got injured, pair James must have been thinkin` - feck sake yet anither feckin kick in the teesh! Post Edited (Sun 06 Oct 12:18) Reply |
| 66. Author: MinnesotaAndy Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 12:18 There are never any easy answers in football. Just look at what happened and continues to happen with Manchester United after the Fergie era. Pars really need some wins in the coming handful of games. Matty Todd looks as if he is getting back to his best which could help big time. Reply |
| 67. Author: onandupthepars Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 12:21 That`s right Minnesota, get Matty in form, get Tobi back - things can change, without even bringin` others in - life goes on - we`re no doon yet by a long chalk. Post Edited (Sun 06 Oct 12:22) Reply |
| 68. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 12:32 I guess the most amount of optimism I can claw into is that we`ve a few new faces in + Todd and it might come together any minute now. And it`s not like we`re isolated, it would appear as if there`s 4 or 5 pure mince teams this year. But 5 goals in 8 matches is chronic. One penalty, one massive deflection and two worlides from Otoo and Wotherspoon. One goal from Cooper you could define as being a worked move. We`re shocking to watch. I think the natural pragmatism of both our soon to be ex-owners and McPake isn`t exactly a dynamic combination. Reply |

| 70. Author: weemike Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 12:41 I`m sorry but this is alot of happy clapping nonsense. We don`t look like a well trained side. The team identity is one of slow turgid play. Make no mistake. We are struggling. Our only victory this season was gifted to us by a red card. Reply |
| 71. Author: grelin Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 12:58 I`m not one to jump on the `sack the manager bandwagon` when things are not going well, but I must admit my patience is wearing thin. Watching the current brand of football for the last couple of seasons or so is absolute torture and what compounds it for me is the usual dross that JM spouts after each game, is he watching the same game? He seems to be coated in Teflon but I think the current regime might have a different standpoint if we get pumped by Kelty next week which I suspect we might on current form. Reply |
| 72. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 13:07 kelty_par, Sun 6 Oct 11:15 Yeah but yeah but yeah but… James McPake got Dundee promoted as their manager so deserves the credit for the role he played in that. As much as he deserves the criticism for things going wrong. Folk in here writing that he doesn’t understand championship football etc etc etc forgetting he has already at least done something in the championship in the past. COYP Reply |
| 73. Author: da_no_1 Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 13:18 It`s ridiculous to suggest a player single handedly won a team a "a lot of games" "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Post Edited (Sun 06 Oct 13:19) Reply |
| 74. Author: Andrew283 Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 13:31 Not a single player we have hasn`t had a contract renewal or been signed by McPake. The buck stops with him. Not good enough in the slightest Reply |
| 75. Author: ParfectXI Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 13:32 There’s quite a few of you giving McPake a lot of credit for taking Dundee back to the Premiership, strangely more than the Dundee fans give him and he was “one of their own”. Dundee fans almost to a man thought he was a terrible manager who played boring football and was unable to change his style of play! I was working for Dundee when McPake was in his first season here and everything they said about him I have seen happening here and I don’t think Dundee is full of Nostradamus’ or even Russell Grants! McPake is out of his depth, will never take us forward and shouldn’t be here anymore! Reply |
| 76. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 13:45 Some managers have more than one player who wins them a lot of games but that doesn`t seem to detract from their reputations. Funny that isn`t it? You`ve got to remember that any success anyone connected with the Pars achieves is not due to their own efforts. It`s because the opposition was rubbish, the ref did them a favour, they scored with a deflection, the other team had a man sent off, etc. None of these benefits seems to favour other teams whose success is purely down to their own efforts and the ability of their managers.

| 77. Author: Andrew283 Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 14:03 wee eck, Sun 6 Oct 13:45 When you`re as utterly woeful as we are yes, a lot of our points are only because of opposition mistakes. I can possibly accept trash tier football if we win a lot, but we just dont Reply |
| 78. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 14:17 weemike, Sun 6 Oct 12:41 This 100 percent. Every week you look at the side and you can`t see what they have been working on on training. There doesn`t seem to be a plan B. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 79. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 14:22 Why do players make mistakes? It`s usually because the opposition have put them in a position where they are liable to. Most goals in football are the result of mistakes. It doesn`t mean the scoring team is due no credit for the goal. Reply |
| 80. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 14:46 wee eck, Sun 6 Oct 14:22 You usually can but considering both our coaches were defenders we aren`t very good at defending when the ball comes into our box. I wouldn`t mind if the guy hits a 40 yarder into the top bag but the goals we use more often than not are avoidable. c'mon the pars Reply |
