End of Year Blues For The Dens Men...

Dundee 1 Aberdeen 3, Dens Park, 29-December-2012

Dundee ended the year with a 3-1 defeat from Aberdeen at Dens on Saturday. In a poor first half Dundee has few chances with McBride and Nish our only shots near the target. The Dons were not much better and suffered a blow when defender Andrew Consideine broke his leg just before half time, I'm sure everyone hopes the player has a speedy recovery.


Aberdeen's 1st goal

Second half and it took the visitors one minute to take the lead when some sloppy defending let the Dons to get the ball into the six yards box and McGinn taped the ball home. Both teams had chances but it was McGinn who scored the vital second goal, the ball was swung in from Haynes and the striker gave Rab Douglas no chance with a clever header.

Dundee did pull one back when Mark Stewart netted from close range after a long throw in was missed by the Aberdeen defence. That was with 8 minutes to go, but again poor defending let Aberdeen seal the points, Haynes was gifted the ball his shot was saved and saved again on the line but McGinn was faster than the two Dundee defenders to react to notch his hat-trick on the line.

We really need to get points at Perth on Wednesday but as a team we need to fight more and maybe fresh faces are needed to change our season. As Dundee FC fans we can only hope they can find a way to get out of this current run of form.

Dundee: Douglas, Irvine, Lockwood, Benedictus, Gallagher, O'Donnell(Davidson 57), Riley (Stewart 81), McBride (Conroy 67), McAlister, J Baird, Nish. Subs Not Used: A Baird, Toshney, Easton and McGregor.
