After a mad dash from work l made the 19:45 kick-off with minutes to spare. That's all it took for the Highlanders to take a quick two goal lead after poor defending from Dundee side...A story of our season so far. Dundee did pull a goal back after 12 minutes when after good work from NickyRiley the ball fell kindly to Milne who's miss hit shot fell to Colin Nish who scored with a crisp shot to notch his second goal for the club. The rest of the half and both clubs had good chances and Dundee best fell to Nish only for the Caley Thistle keeper bring off a great save.
Second half was much the same vein with Milne could have scored but he had to stretch to get his shot in and the chance was gone. The visitor's sealed the game when they got a rather soft looking penalty. My thoughts only maybe but Andrew Shinnie scored from the spot. Minutes later it was 4-1 after a sweeping move McKay got his second goal.
Many Dundee Fans were now leaving for the exits, but l chose to stay to watch the rest of the game and try to take the positives from the game. I thought they played okay but slack defending had cost them the game.
Next up is Aberdeen in a fortnight a game which we must try and take something from to start our season again.
