Dundee 1 Ross County 1, Dens Park, First Division, 25/February/12

Dundee had to settle for a draw on Saturday against league leaders Ross County. In a game on which again we lost a sloppy goal after only 10 minutes on which was County's first attack on our goal. A deep cross was missed and after it was knocked back across Kettlewell had a easy tap in. Then soon after Douglas saved with his legs as County looked to finish the game early. 


It took Dundee around 20 minutes to wake up and get back into the game, first Jamie McCluskey on a good run was chopped down from behind in a challenge that was no where near the ball. Soon after and this time Carl Finnigan got into the box where he was fouled. I think the linesman's gave the penalty after the Ref had looked to wave play on. Up stepped  Ryan Conroy to blast home with a well placed shot. The first half ended that way 1-1 and all to play for in the second half.

The second half  was mainly Dundee in control apart from a couple of County chances, but sadly we could not create any clear cut chances. I think Ross County were happy with point today, and for Dundee it's more points dropped and we will have to win our next 4-5 games to get a chance of catching the top two. On the trialist today who was Kevin McBride l think he done well today but need's to get his match fitness up, new striker Carl Finnigan again looked good. 

Next up is Livingston away which will be a tough game, but it's one we must win.

Dundee: Douglas, Irvine, Lockwood, McGregor, Weston, McCluskey, O'Donnell, McBride (Milne75), Hyde (Bayne 83), Finnigan. Subs Not Used: Gibson, McKeown, Chisholm.
