Was hard to tell exactly from my vantage point. Brown Hedges Ferguson Ojo JET Ramirez ?? Although at times it looked like a straight two up front I thought that Hedges and Jet had a fairly free role behind Ramirez. And Ojo and Ferguson were playing more advanced in centre midfield with Brown sitting. But it's sometimes harder to tell on the telly than when you're in the stadium so those that were there might have a better take. Link to comment

I hope your application for Head of Recruitment has been submitted? I’d like to hear your thoughts on how we should win matches? Score more goals than the opposition? 1 2 Link to comment

I just meant develop the player for 2/3 years and sell on for profit. But we should be doing it as much as possible. Link to comment
theredshed Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 From what I saw, the formation looked like this: Lewis Ramsay McCrorie Considine Hayes Ferguson Brown Ojo Hedges JET Ramirez Brown sitting deeper than Ojo and Ferguson, JET occasionally switching between attacking midfielder and striker.

Only now and again should one of our best players be leaving for nothing. Not every season like before. Maybe Jim mclean had the right idea with his 10 year contracts ? Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Defence & up front we need strengthened for sure. only a couple of injuries (or COVID cases/close contacts) away from real crisis in those areas. So we have to take in another decent striker & CH. regardless of if we offload any players or not. If we do offload/sell players then they should then also be replaced Link to comment

JET spent most of the night up top as a 2. Despite his jokey manner, Steve Tosh on Redtv correctly pointed out that Haken got back into the match after the 3rd goal when JET dropped deeper, leaving Ramirez isolated. After they scored JET was pushed right back up front and we took control again. A mix of 442 and 4132. 1 Link to comment
super_al Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Cormack says the focus is on quality. Link to comment
ThomohawkKid Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Right if we could get two realistic “quality additions” in the door yet similar to DC suggested who would everybody pick? Id go Jason Kerr, then either McCann (maybe too expensive) or McGrath. Then Zak Rudden as a wild card forward player. Added this as we need another forward but I’d get the “quality” additions in CD n CM. Link to comment

Going by newspaper and mainstandmoan speculation, and dissecting what Cormack said at half time, you’d hazard at guess at the 2 players being Jason Kerr and Jamie McGrath. £1m for them two? Clearly waiting for Kennedy and McGeough to depart and free up wages, and Ferguson to bring in a substantial transfer fee. Still means we must be looking at another forward player. May be way off the mark here but I reckon Ferguson will stay another season, looked reenergised the other night, alongside Brown. He might just think another year and then he’ll get better offers? 1 Link to comment

Do you not think every club wants to develop / sell players for more than they bought them for? There’s nothing groundbreaking in that concept, and it’s alarming to read that people think it’s even a strategy worth mentioning. OF COURSE IT IS. FFS.

It will be his agent trying to do what he is paid to do…get him more dosh. Some players are motivated by cash and desire to succeed, others are happy to just be in the game. Lewis Ferguson was never a lifelong Dons fan but he has been decent for us. I would sell him if we get offered £3m. I think we can replace him no problem. Link to comment
Redtaz2 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Partially agree RJ , I think the agent has a bit to do with it after all that’s how they make their money .don’t see the relevance of lifelong dons fan as plenty who have been also moved on . 3m with add ons, yup acceptable and would allow good options to be brought in Link to comment

Published times around 90 minutes each way, but more likely at least 15 minutes quicker. I suppose not much different time wise to players for the Dundee teams commuting from the Glasgow area You think going to an airport for a flight, having the flight & getting from the airport to the city is the same as driving Glasgow to dundee?
