Dundee Pay The Price For Missed Chances.............
Morton 0, Dundee 0, Cappielow, SPFL Championship, 19-April-14
Dundee travelled through to Cappielow on Saturday to take on bottom club Morton to try and secure a vital three points in the race for the Championship title. But sadly it was the home side that took all three points as Dundee were left to rue missed chances.
They started with the same team as last week and started well and forced corner after corner but the delivery on these were very poor from Riley and later McAlister started taken them as Dundee tried to make their pressure tell. Morton got to half-time as Dundee piled forward but failed to trouble the Morton keeper.
Second half and after Nade came on for Wighton the big striker missed a great chance after Kerr had played him in but sadly he put the ball wide with the goal gaping. A few minutes later and McDonald should have scored when from six yards he shot straight at the keeper really it should have been a goal. But with games like this Dundee got hit with a sucker punch when good play from Vine and his cut back was fired home by Imrie to give the home side a good win. Dundee tried to push for a late goal but Morton held on.
Today Dundee failed to make good use from their pressure 16 corners and 20 shots at goal with only 6 on target tells it own story. It now makes the Alloa game a must win as Hamilton went top again after beating Alloa 2-1 at New Douglas Park.
Dundee: Letheren, Kerr (Beattie 79), Gallagher, Davidson, Dyer, Boyle, Rae, McAlister, Riley, Wighton (Nade 61), MacDonald.

The fourth and final goal came soon after Wighton again played in Martin Boyle who fired in a unstoppable shot which had the Dens Park Fans shouting for more.
Dundee used their subs to give run outs to Nade, Conroy and Beattie. A good win and news that Hamilton had dropped points it happy Dundee fans heading home.

Share Of The Spoils At New Douglas Park
Hamilton Accies 1, Dundee 1, New Douglas Park, SPFL Championship, 5th-April-14
Dundee fans came out in big numbers to support the club at Hamilton last Saturday in the vital game between the joint league leaders. The pubs before the game were busy and it was good to see a few well known faces and fellow Dundee supporters.
Team wise Nicky Riley and Kevin McBride came in for Craig Beattie and Adam Cummins with Iain Davidson dropping back to a central defence role. The game started slowly for both sides playing tight football with Riley looking sharp but like Hamilton did not create anything clear chance wise. But with 10 minutes until half-time Dundee took the lead a McDonald free kick came back off the wall and when it was played back in by Dyer Accies failed to clear and McBride headed it down to Martin Boyle who side footed home to send the DFC fans wild with delight. Just minutes later and it could have been two with McDonald put his shot just over the bar.
Second half and Dundee started brightly with two good efforts on goal the second one from Boyle forced the Accies keeper into a fine save as Dundee looked to kill the game. Soon after and Iain Davidson had to go off with a injury it was to prove the turning point as Hamilton took the game to their visitors. With 20 minutes to go Hamilton got level when ex-dee striker Antoine Curier beat Cummins in the air to head home. Both teams then made mistakes as the flowing football had stopped and players made basic mistakes fear off losing the game. Beattie and Conroy came on as Dundee tried to change it, but in the end a draw was fair on the day.
Dundee; Letheren, Irvine, Dyer, Gallagher, Davidson (Cummins 57), Rae, McBride, Boyle, McAlister, Riley (Conroy 74), MacDonald (Beattie 68).

News From Dens Park............
Dundee lost top spot in the Championship when they lost 1-0 to third placed Falkirk, the only goal came from a cross from Miller which was headed home by Mark Beck at the far post. By reports Dundee had started well and had various chances before the goal and after but failed to take them.
Second half they were much poorer and Kyle Letheren saved a penalty to stop it being 2-0. Dundee failed to get the vital goal for us to grab a point. Hamilton drew 1-1 at Cowdenbeath with the Blue Brazil scoring in the 95th minute to help us in the title run in. Hamilton go top on more goals scored. The lack of goals being scored is becoming a worry for me. Hopeful next Saturday's visit to New Douglas Park is the best time to start...

Dundee win but fail to Impress....
Dundee 1 Queen of the South 0, Dens Park, SPFL Championship, 25-March-14
Dundee beat Queen of the South at Dens on Tusday night, but they struggled in the first half with the Doonhammers having some good chances but failed to take. Dundee did very little in the opening period and they can be thankful Kyle Letheren was in fine form. Adam Cumming was making his debut and fitted well into the defence.
Second half was much better with Dundee starting to push forward and create some chances, but the breakthrough goal arrived on 57minutes when a McAlister cross was headed home by midfielder Iain Davidson to the relief of the Dundee fans. Then another chance came after a MacDonald back heel set up Gavin Rae but shot wildly wide of the goal. Nade came on for Riley to try and get the second killer goal to finish the game.
Striker Boyle had a great chance but chose to have a shot which the keeper saved instead of picking out McAlister who was clear. Dundee held out for the three points.
Next up is Falkirk who we haven't beaten all season so far.
Dundee: Letheren, Irvine, Gallagher, Cummins, Dyer, Davidson, Rae, Riley (Nade 72), Boyle, McAlister, MacDonald (Conroy 80). Subs: Twardzik, Lockwood, Conroy, Nade, Beattie, Doris, Reid.

Dundee Win At Dumbarton .......Just
Dumbarton 0, Dundee 1, Bet Butler Stadium, SPFL Championship, 22nd-March-14.
Dundee scraped through at Dumbarton on Saturday after the home team nearly done enough to earn some points. The dark blues started the game poorly and looked all over the place at the back. Early on Letheren had to look sharp to deny a goal. It then looked as if Dumbarton should have taken the lead when Letheren fumbled a Turner header over the line it looked a goal to me but it was ruled off for a foul in the box, to be fair it did not look much. Dundee did not heed this warning and they were saved a few times with Letheren making some good saves, the pace of Chris Kane was causing problems for the Dark Blues defence. I was glad to see half-time with the score still at 0-0.
Second half and Dundee were much better but struggled to get shots on goal, with only a Nade header on target to show for their efforts. Manager Hartley made changes with McDonald coming on for Nade who l thought had played okay with some neat flick on play. Later Craig Beattie came on the big striker has been out injured for before Christmas. But with the time running out Dundee were handed a gift when a long hopeful ball was headed out poorly by the keeper and Peter McDonald kept his composure and score from a very tight angle which saw the Dundee fans go wild with delight and relief that we had maybe snatched all three points. But only couple of minutes later and Benedictus gave away a needless penalty to give the Sons a chance to level, but Kyle Letheren stood strong to make a great save from Prunty,s spot-kick effort. This might prove vital in the run in with Hamilton winning 4-3 at Morton.
Dundee: Letheren, Irvine, Gallagher, Benedictus, Dyer, Davidson, McBride (Rae), Riley, McAlister, Conroy (Beattie), Nade (MacDonald.
