Poor Show From The Dark Blues......
Dundee 0 Raith Rovers 1, Scottish Cup, Dens Park, 30-Nov-13
After the high from last Saturday's performance at Hamilton, Dundee were brought back down to earth when they were beaten 1-0 by Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup.
The Rovers started the better side and after a surging run by Thomson he was tackled in the box as the fans waited to see if it was a free kick or Penalty. The Referee played on Dundee's Gary Irvine passed the ball back to keeper Kyle Letheren who was out of position and the ball ended up in the net for a bizarre own goal. This was on Eight minutes gone in the tie but sadly Dundee struggled to get going the midfield were really poor and it must have hard for the strikers to create anything. Rovers were not much better as the first half closed the Dundee Fans were hoping for a better second half.
Manager John Brown put on Martin Boyle in place of Craig Wighton to try and boost the strike force, but sadly we still struggled to make a impact. Only for a ten minute spell you would have thought it was a Scottish Cup Tie with Dens Park being very quiet this afternoon.
Dundee put on Beattie and Monti during the second half to no avail and although the Rovers were not great they deserved to go through to the next round.
Dundee: Letheren, Irvine, Gallagher, Davidson Lockwood (Monti 82), Riley, McAlister, Rae, Conroy(Beattie 61), MacDonald, Wighton (Boyle 45). Subs Not Used: Twardzik, McBride, Doris, and Thomson.
