Highlights From Motherwell Game

Photos From Motherwell Game....

Dundee 1 Motherwell 2, Dens Park, Premier League, 15-September-12

Dundee entertained top of the table Motherwell in what proved to be a good enough game. Despite the loss l thought Dundee played okay in spells but must take their chances as Motherwell proved to be vital in this league.

New signing Mark Kerr made his debut and worked hard in the midfield. Dundee could have scored early on but Toshney's effort was well saved by the keeper.  Dundee took the lead after 19 minutes when after a good build up found Baird out wide and his cross was superbly headed home by striker Colin Nish. A really fine goal which delighted the Dundee fans inside Dens Park. The game swung from end to end and the closest Dundee came to getting a second goal was when McAlister shot was straight at Randolph in the well goal.

Iain Davidson had to be replaced by Kyle Bendictus after he had picked up a injury, then as Dundee struggled to keep the ball Motherwell scored what was a pretty soft goal when Higdon scored fwith a six yard tap in. Barry Smith then put on  Mark Stewart for John Baird. then Motherwell scored from a corner a great cross was headed home powerfully by Mignonne again to Give Rab Douglas no chance. Martin Boyle replayed the tiring Mark Kerr as Dundee pushed forward looking for the equaliser and Colin Nish was unlucky not to score in the last frantic minutes. But Motherwell survived to take the points back to Larnarkshire.

Dundee deserved a draw today but got a harse lesson on taking your chances.

Team News For The Visit Of Motherwell....

Dundee take on high flying Motherwell at Dens Park today in what should be a good attacking game of football. After the win at Tynecastle the players will be in confident mood. Sadly more bad news on the injury front with defender Davide Grassi will be out for around six weeks after having a knee operation, this will explain why the club had ex-Hibs defender Sean O'Hanlon on trial during the week. Manager Barry Smith won't be following up his interest in the player.

The other players still out are Stephen O'Donnell, Nicky Riley, Kevin McBride, Carl Finnigan, Mark Stewart, and Jamie McCluskey remain out. New signings Brian Easton and Mark Kerr are both in contention to make their Dundee debuts against Motherwell. 

Blast from the Past.... We can only hope for this kind of display and result later today.....

Dundee Win at Tynecastle....

Hearts 0, Dundee 1, Tynecastle Stadium, Premier League, 02-September-12



Dundee started well at Tynecastle this afternoon and got their reward after only 3 minutes when Nish was fouled in the box. Up stepped Ryan Conroy to score Dundee's first SPL goal of the season. The Dark Blues have looked very dangerous and have hit Hearts on the break. McAlister shot over from 20 yards. Hearts have had chances in a end to end game and Rab Douglas has had a couple of good saves. then in 27 minutes gone penalty to Hearts when Paterson has been fouled. Up steps Sutton he shoots to the right and Rab Douglas brings off a superb save to the delight of the Dundee fans. Hearts keep the pressure up and Douglas makes a great save to his left to deny Carrick. The Dundee defence has done well with Grassi looking cool at the back. Up front Colin Nish has lead the line well and Davidson has been very good. Dundee reach half-time still 1-0 and look forward to the second half to hopefully add to their lead.

Into the second half and Hearts pinned Dundee back with Lockwood and Davidson  picking up yellow cards for fouls. Then Conroy clears one off the line when it looks a certain goal for Hearts. Manager Barry Smith then replaced Nish with Savo Milne after 73 minutes with Hearts still attacking the Dundee goal. Dundee have hit on the break when possible and the Hearts fans are getting frustrated. Dundee hold out to take the three points to take them off the bottom of the league.





Well done to the players for their efforts today shows you when they get written off  is when Dundee are dangerous.

Dundee: Douglas, Toshney, Lockwood, McGregor, Grassi,  McAllister, Irvine, Davidson, Conroy, Baird, Nish (Milne 73). Subs: Baird, Webster, Gallagher, Boyle, Reid
