Dundee lost 3-1 at East End Park on Saturday. I missed the game due to work. I have chosen to go the Cowdenbeath game in two weeks time instead. In what was a even looking first half with both teams having chances, we fell 1 nil down when after a good save from Scott Fox the ball broke and a silly tackle from Riley gave the Pars a penalty on which Gibson scored sending Fox the wrong way. The second goal on 42 minutes looked bad from a defensive view. Nobody picked up Bell's run and after a good flick on by Kirk, put him through and he finished with ease.
Into the second half and after some Dundee pressure we pulled one back, after a miss from Kuqi, we got a corner. Taken by Lockwood and headed home by midfielder Gary Harkins to give Dundee a lift. Both teams did attack with not many chances, our best came from a Griffith shot which looked in, but Smith made a great one handed save. The ref somehow did not spot the keepers touch.
Then the roof fell in when a terrible mix up between Paton and Fox, who both missed the ball, leaving a simple tap in for ex-dee Pat Clarke to make it 3-1 and game over. We must start to work really hard away from home, be positive and stop giving bad goals away. It does make the next four game very important, and l hope the fans do get behind the team. But they have to stand up and be counted now.
Dundee: Fox, Paton, McKeown, Weston, Lockwood, Riley (Forsyth 71), Adams (McMenamin 85), O'Donnell, Harkins, Kuqi (Higgins 71), Griffiths. Subs Not Used: Findlay, Irvine.
