wellsince75 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 We're in a position where 1-2 wins will likely see us safe. The youngsters/squad players who we have a chance of being first team regulars we need to start giving them game time. Players we know are leaving start reducing their game time.

One or two wins might be hard to find, given the way this season and this league has gone. I'm struggling to think which squad players and youngsters you think are capable of coming in at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the unlikely scenario of us making the top 6 then we're safe from relegation thats when we can bring in some of the Academy players. However as we are more likely to finish bottom 6, then there's work to do but given the teams we'll be playing I dont think it will be an issue to get 1 or 2 wins, so there will still be ample opportunities to bring in the academy players if SK thinks they are ready.

Once we're safe, I'd be happy to see some youngsters given a run out, though we haven't seen any evidence Kettlewell thinks they're ready. Looking at Saturday's bench, once you go beyond Nicholson and Moses I don't see anyone else who would benefit from game time. He's seen enough of Mugabi and Blaney to know what they offer, Miller will be playing when he's fit, Shaws a goner, and Oxborough and Butcher must surely be following him out the door.

Kmcalpin Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 Luca Ross would seem to be top of the Academy list. After him - Ewan Wilson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Was thinking likes of Callan Elliot, Nicholson, Moses should all get some game time. Hopefully Adam Montgomery recovers and gets a few games. Young Ross , Ferrie + Wells are the younger ones who've been in and around the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Nicholson should be given some more game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate was down at the game (Auchinleck fan) and said he was head and shoulders above anyone else on the park. Far too good for that level but appreciate its the only place he could go out on loan. Hopefully he pushes on to at least be a regular on our bench next season or even a starter . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, read a good few Beith fans saying he sticks out a mile. Be great to see him get a chance - looks like his contract's up in May, though.

I'd like to think he'll be one that Kettlewell wants to keep but wouldn't be surprised if he's on the radar of some of the lower league teams.

Hopefully, the fact Kettlewell didn't leave him sitting on the bench at Stirling or here and chose to get him some game time means he has plans for him.

Kmcalpin Posted April 2 Author Report Share Posted April 2 Given the state of Dundee's pitch and this week's weather forecast, there must be doubts over the game going ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but youngsters isnt the answer at all.......Until we are safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Dougie Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Hopefully the game is on, the park cuts up and we get stuck right into them. Can't beat a game on a right good muddy pitch. On the goalkeeper situation, I think it's fair to say that due to the Euros and the appearance money it would give the club, that if Kelly had been dropped when he should have, he wouldn't have made any squads and that revenue would be lost. In saying that on form, I think he will miss out, as the national papers are on a Craig Gordon love in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee forums saying there's a cat in hells chance of it being on. Ground is already saturated and standing water all over and more rain forecast for the rest of the week.

weeyin Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 I guessed that might be the case when I saw the forecast at the beginning of the week. I hope they do the decent thing and call it off on Friday rather than wait until people start travelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
