Dundee Crash Out......At Hampden..

Queens Park 2 Dundee 1, Hampden Park, League Cup, 29-August-12

Dundee crashed out of the League Cup tonight losing 2-1 to Third Division side Queens Park, they got off to the perfect start when Savo Milne scored after only 5 minutes into the game. However The Spiders drew level after 21 minutes when McGregor gave away a penalty after another clumsy challenge leading to his red card. Longworth scored with the spot kick. Going by reports Dundee were in control of the game until that point. Declan Gallagher came on with midfielder Webster making way.

The spiders got their winner when Burns was put clean through and he shot under Douglas to score.

Dundee were not able to dominate the game and reports suggest that Queens Park deserved their win so good luck to them. The Dundee fans who travelled to Glasgow will be very disappointed with this result.

Dundee 0 Ross County 1, Dens Park, Premier League, 25-August-12

Dundee lost their second league game at Dens Park on Saturday, this time to Ross County. The Staggies getting a late penalty to seal the three points.

Ross County hit the bar early on and maybe should have scored with that move. Dundee did play some good stuff  at times with striker Colin Nish making his debut looking dangerous. Dundee had two half chances in the first half Colin Nish headed wide from a Benedictus cross, and Gary Irvine hit the post from a tight angle. Rab Douglas had a couple of saves but nothing to worry about.

Second half and with Kyle Benedictus had to come off after he was still suffering from a head knock he had picked up in the first half. Lewis Toshney came on and he looks comfy in defence. On the hour mark Mark Stewart went off injured with Martin Boyle coming on.

As the game looked to heading for a 0-0 draw defender McGregor gave away a penalty after a silly challenge on Corcoran. Brittain gave Rab Douglas no chance with a well taken spot kick.

Dundee tried hard to get back into the game but failed to create anything clear cut, only a McAlister header was near the target.

Dundee need to score soon to get the confidence going again, l thought Martin Boyle looked sharp and it's a pity he is suspended for Wednesday's trip to Hampden to face Queen's Park in the League Cup.

Dundee: Douglas, Benedictus (Toshney 47) Baird (84), Conroy, McGregor, Grassi, Irvine, O'Donnell, Davidson, McAlister, Nish, Stewart (Boyle 60) Subs Not Used: Alex Baird, Lockwood, Milne, Webster.

Dundee Und 3 Dundee 0, Premier League, Tannadice, 19-August-12

Dundee lost the Dundee Derby on Sunday by 3 goals to nil. They started well and Nicky Riley had a  great chance but both times the United keeper saved his efforts. Dundee were just on top when United broke away and from a free kick they scored when Gunning headed home after Rab Douglas had missed the cross. Dundee were a bit shell shocked but worse was to follow when a free kick was blocked and United broke away to score again through Russell who's shot looked like going wide but hit Grassi with the ball ending in the far corner to put United in control. Then a couple of minute later Russell scored again to likely finish the game as a contest.

 

Second half and Dundee did have a go but they failed to set up any clear cut chances, and the only one of note was a Ryan Conroy shot which forced a good save. The Stephen O'Donnell and Russell got sent off when they clashed after a tackle in midfield. A booking would have been enough l think. Soon after new signing Martin Boyle got a run out and he looked sharp so we can hope he can do a job upfront in future games.

Nicky Riley was taken off with a hamstring injury so it was a gamble which did not pay off. Hopefully he will be back soon. Well done to the Dundee Fans they stuck by the players and gave them support to the end.

Dundee: Douglas, Irvine, Lockwood, Benedictus, Grassi, Conroy, O'Donnell, Davidson, McAlister, Riley, Baird. Subs: A.Baird, McGregor, Milne, Webster, Gallagher, Boyle, Stewart.

Dundee scraped through to the next round of the Scottish Communities League Cup winning on penalties by 4-1. The game had ended 0-0 after extra time. Both keepers had decent saves during the game. But Rab Douglas was the hero when he saved Callum MacDonald's spot kick. McBride,Baird has already scored their penalties and Irvine put Dundee 3-1 up on the shoot out. McLaughlin then hit the bar and it was left to Ryan Conroy to put Dundee through on which he did with ease. By report Dundee were lucky at times but l will take the result as we will play better and lose.
