Dundee 2 Hamilton Accies 0, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 25-October-14

Dundee beat league leaders Hamilton Academicals at Dens Park this afternoon winning the game by two goal to nil, going by reports it was a even contest in the first half with both teams having chances. But two quick goals in the last quarter of the game sealed the points for the dark blues. Striker of the moment David Clarkson headed home on 69 minutes from a Harkins corner his fourth goal in just 4 games to send Dens wild, and Dundee scored again just four minutes later when young striker Greg Stewart scored from 15 yards after he was played in by a clever Harkins header into space.

So another great three points for the Dark Blues and with 16 points from the first quarter of the league season seem a very good solid start.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, McPake, Konrad,Irvine, McBride (Boyle 59), McGowan, McAlister, Harkins (Thomson 77), Clarkson, Stewart ( Roberts89). Subs Not Used: Gourlay, Kerr, Wighton, and Allan.

Motherwell 1 Dundee 3, Fir Par, SPFL Premiershp, 18-October-14

Dundee came away from Fir Park on Saturday with three well earned points with a fine performance. Manager Paul Hartley had to make changes with James McPake not being involved due to a family bereavement, and keeper Kyle Letheren got injured in the warm up. In stepped Iain Davidson and Scott Bain took over in goal.

Dundee got off to great start when good play by Harkins set up ex well player David Clarkson who turned quickly to volley in to score a great goal with just three minutes on the clock, this helped settle the Dundee side and they looked dangerous every time they went forward, Motherwell tried to hit back but found Scott Bain in fine form he took everything confidingly. McGowan should have doubled the visitors lead but Twardzik saved well and the chance was gone at the other end McBride headed a certain goal off the goal line. But Dundee's fine play counted on 30 minutes when Stewart should have scored but the ball fell to Gary Harkins who blasted home to the delight of the away fans. Just before half-time Cammy Kerr replaced McGinn who looked to have taken a slight knock.

Second half and Dundee continued to attack and were rewarded on 59 minutes when a neat move sent Clarkson free wide his cross was met by Greg Stewart who had acres of space to score the third goal for the dark blues who were now in full control of the game. Motherwell did score when Ojamaa  hooked home from a corner. After this Dundee made changes with Thomson coming on for Stewart, and Boyle for Harkins.

That was the final score with all Dundee players playing well as a team, Motherwell looked a shadow from the team that finished second last season.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn (Kerr 42), Konrad, Davidson Irvine, McBride, McGowan, McAlister, Harkins(Boyle 78), Clarkson, Stewart(Thomson 68). Subs Not Used: Roberts, Wighton, Allan.

Dundee 2 Aberdeen 3, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 04-October-14

Dundee were very unlucky to lose 3-2 on Saturday at Dens Park, the game started a terrific pace and Aberdeen scored in 4 minutes when a cross was deflected into the path of Considine who headed past Letheren who was helpless to stop as defenders in front of the Dundee keeper. Dundee took the game to the dons and levelled two minutes later with a wonderful strike from Gary Harkins which flew into the net to leave Langfield without a ghost of saving the shot. Dundee had a good spell and were unlucky a few times, before Aberdeen went ahead again when another cross ball was not defended right and James McPake headed into his own net. Dundee came close again with Clarkson just missed to touch the ball home from a good cross into the box. The striker was then so unlucky when his drive beat Langfield but the post saved the Dons keeper. So 2-1 at half-time so far it had been a really good game of football.

Second half and Dundee again attacked the Aberdeen goal and were awarded a penalty when Taylor seemed to handle and then ten seconds late fouled McAlister which one made the Referee point to the spot l don't know but the Dundee fans did not care. Once the dust settled David Clarkson blasted home the kick to make the score line 2-2. Dundee continued to play some neat football and as often happens Aberdeen went ahead for the third time Goodwillie heading home with a powerful header which maybe could have been defended better. Still Dundee came back and were unlucky with Jamie Langfield saving well from McAlister and Wighton.

Dundee were unlucky today and they played some fine football, but we need to defend cross ball, hopefully our injured players are back soon as we are weak in several positions.

Dundee: Letheren, McGinn, Irvine, McPake, Konrad, McGowan, McBride (Boyle 78), McAlister, Harkins, Clarkson (Wighton 67), Stewart (MacDonald 82). Subs Not Used : Bain, Roberts, Kerr and Allen.
