    A draw at a tricky away venue in January isn't the worst result ever. Hopefully the Dons will return to the fine form they had fir the first 10 games this season.

    Hope we can get the defence sorted but we're half way through January and I don't think we're linked to anyone. I won't hold my breath over any incomers this montn, we rarely spend much in January

    Dundee played very well,but we had plenty of chances to bury the game.
    I would have liked to see Kenny come on he changed the team dynamic at Ross County.
    The team lost it's killer touch and rythymn last night and went into sleep mode.....No panic,but just need that wake up call asap.

    Not as annoyed this morning, think these kinda games are gonna happen a couple of times a season and we're always gonna drop points here and there.
    Some reactions are OTT like saying we are * and wanting everyone binned, we are still having a good season and on course for a potentially great one.
    It just frustrates me how we don't seem to learn or adjust to the same issues we struggle with in games and don't address the power and physicality issue (not just limited to this game but was first thread i could find.) I don't think it's spoiled or entitled to have concerns around that.

    No way, m8. They'd be chuffed at the overtime: double time? treble time? mibby a day off in lieu as well?

    I don’t have any major problem with the game last night.

    It’s a busy schedule and we started well. We got the goal and we’re opening them with ease, should probably have had two more.

    I think the team got comfortable at that point and got sucker punched with their goal. It was an unlucky combination of the McGregor tackle falling perfectly for their guy and the boy that scored supplying a top finish.

    Trusty had a stinker, no doubt. I felt he was carrying something or he hurt himself. He slipped a couple of times early on and generally seemed off it.

    I thought we showed a good mentality not to lose the game.

    I think we still need to find a way to be more solid in the midfield when we’re not the ones with the momentum. I’d be coaching the three in midfield on how to stay close to each other when we need 10 minutes of defensive play, and coach the front 3 how to react to that to hit teams with a counter.

    But overall, not bothered about last night. We’re a work in progress and that’s fine.

    2 of their goals were pure random luck imo. That fast break, the ball bounced so randomly off players about 3 times and just happened to land at dundee players' feet as they ran and a cracking finish.

    The OG was pure luck on their part. It happens. The header was well worked, though. Totally done us. Need to be better at that.

    I wouldn't go as far as "not bothered", but I get/agree with most of the rest of this... We're definitely phoning things in at this stage on the 'lesser' games, and leaving stuff behind, or at least giving ourselves extra work in games as a result.

    My main issue is that we're slowing/settling right before probably our most important CL match, and that we'll not get back up to speed for that... We NEED to do YBOB to get that qualification. We can't afford to be sloppy just now...

    I think people on here overreact at people losing their minds over dropping points rather than the actual people being a bit OTT about the result to be honest.
    We've got a massive Champions league game coming up which i assume people are worried about which is why when we do drop points on the run up to the game people are a little but more critical of the team.
    Yes perspective is needed but the lack of desire and fight is a bit worrying. Getting bullied far too often when teams get in our face. Doesn't matter how far clear we are it's unacceptable to collapse when teams fancy it against us.
    However the fans do need to be patient at the weekend and next week and I hope we are. All in all we're having a brilliant season and we will drop points it's inevitable. We need to get behind the team over the next couple of weeks!

    Some people saying it's not a concern last night but we saw this in both sevco games and last night game when we get a aggressive press the * team doesn't want to know and our arses collapse.
    We need a couple of players who have a physical presence and won't shirk out of tackles when the going gets tough .
    Certain players in the team need to go I would punt Palmer and Yang and hatate in this window and bring in 2 wingers and another midfielder.

    We get comfortable far too often in positions we’ve no right to be

    Agreed it’s not ideal but it’s natural when you’ve won so many games and you’re so far ahead and playing such a busy schedule.

    I actually think we handle this pretty well all things considered but as a team they’ll know they dropped the tempo prematurely and they’ll learn from it.

    This will be a classic ‘kick up the *’ result - probably at the right time with cup games coming up.

    As a long time supporter,these games happen in a season.Panic buttons dont need to be pressed,calm the jets.
    Players that were mince last night will be game winners for us in the future.
    I wouldn't like to see some on here if there was only a point or two between us and Sevco( Heart attack material)..We have only lost ONE game in the league....keep the faith,enjoy the success. Hail Hail

    Dunno mate.

    Tannadice and Ibrox were both supposed to be reminders regarding complacency.

    I think we'll slip up a good few more games between now and the end of the season, especially if we continue to be so weak defensively as we were last night and at Ibrox. I just don't think we'll slip up enough to lose the league. And that's fine because winning the title is what it's all about.

    But there's no denying performances are nowhere near as strong over a 90-minute period as they were earlier in the season. Maybe that's just natural given the time of the season though.

    Hopefully find a renewed sense of urgency the closer we get to traditional run-in period. Don't really want to hear anymore about the team feeling "comfortable" though. That's a few kick up the arses because of that.

    Impossible to keep playing at our previous level with games every 3-4days on average

    Aye I get that, but then that's suggesting it's down to fatigue. Not down to the players feeling too comfortable.

    Ok. I reported a drugs lab below us that was run by two Italians. Myself and Irish mum were getting poisoned by numerous toxic chemicals. The fumes were horrendous and came through our floorboards 24/7. I thought it was just a one off home made lab, turns out about 5 houses on my street are connected. The other three flats in our house are also connected. Anyway that * them off so they started pumping nitrous oxide into our flat from above and below and still do it (totally pointless) but they have a thing about gas. It's non flammable. Anyway I'm now followed everywhere I go by numerous people. I have my location marked constantly. They also make signs at me to let me know they're watching. It's an Italian crime family operating out of Crystal palace, beckenham, Penge, Cator Park. They also seem to contract out via group messages to pin point my location. I've been called a nonce three times by total random people. My mum is also followed. I told the local police we believe we're at risk to threat and harm, three weeks later someone calls who doesn't even have the correct case number, couldn't tell me what my report was about and then said he couldn't help me as he's going on holiday. So we've got multiple drugs labs, we're being stalked and we can't even talk to the police. Oh and all our communications are monitored meaning it's virtually impossible to get ahead. They even record our conversations as we've had them played back to us.
    And on I go lol

    I agree I don’t think there will be any big wake up from last night. Saturday will be telling to me as we have a few days to get ready for that clash and it’s a cup tie so all to play for.

    Personally, I think we need a lift and given the fixtures don’t let up for a couple of weeks yet I think that only comes from bringing 2-3 new players in. Where they can’t play CL they can give the others a breather by taking some of the workload off them.

    We could really do with a spark in our attacking play, which I think would see Kuhn get back to top form too.
