He can't defend.

Puts him in good company back there.

One of my frustrations in the modern game is coaches don't seem to care that full backs can't defend as long as they can get forward and cross a ball.

But another excellent result.

Great effort from the team after going down to 10. You couldn’t tell which team was a man down. Could have been 3 after Maswanhise’s great run but Casey just couldn’t redirect it but he bust a gut to get up there in support.

Can finish 9th at worse I reckon.  Pressure off so hopefully can go for it last 3 games 

Yes, be good to win the last 3 games but it doesn’t matter now because most unlike us we’ve sorted it out early. Let’s just hope we can avoid this in future.

Aside from the obvious goal,which was a cracking header,bringing T.J on made the difference,you could see there defenders weren't comfortable with his pace and directness in the second half,it was far to easy for them upto that point.what a great 3 points and in the manner we got it,it couldn't have happened to a better mob that spent the game persistent fouling.

He's mobile but not good enough for me.....but......2 great crosses in last 2 games cuts him some slack

Don't agree at all there is a player in there. Plus he's got a great hair cut.

Good header but I think the Dundee defender deserves some credit for stepping out of the way to let TJ head it unchallenged. 😂😂 WTF was he doing!!!

He probably seen the size of TJ and thought he's no threat in the air 😂

How many stoppage minutes went up on the board ? Commentator on the stream had no clue how much time they were adding on so it was agony not knowing how close we were to the end or if we were even playing past the minimum time to be added. Thought it was never going to end

A great result and performance with only 10 men. Beforehand, I thought that a draw would be a great result; but an unlikely one.  Very happy that I was proved wrong. A huge win that guarantees us safety and a 10th placed finish at worst. To win like that shows some grit and character. Well done Tom Sparrow and TJ. Good to see the Ox back between the sticks, and Steve Seddon make his comeback.

We can now really plan for next season.

2 Yellows and and red card. We must have kicked poor Dundee off the park. Will have to see that red card on TV.

We can pick apart the dundee goal all we want, but it was a cracking finish. I thought overall we defended well, and restricted them to set pieces and a couple of breaks. Outside of the 2 long throws, we were first to everything that came into our box. Crazy considering how makeshift that defense is.

Not having the the Thompson hate today. At worst he was perfectly serviceable at LB and put in a shift, as did all the players. Dundee got no joy down the flanks at all, while we got a goal and assist from Sparrow and Thompson.

Johnny K didn't need to do that, and I hope we don't waste money on an appeal. We're probably going to have to play Sparrow at RB in the 4 next week, or we could see Seddon come in and Dom switch over.

Paton was fine, he played a great pass to slattery for his chance, and was involved in some good passages of playbwith slattery and Miller, but in general he doesn't have the cutting edge needed to play in a front 3 with no real striker in it. 

JT coming on allowed is to stretch them, and they had to be aware of his threat in behind. He did a great job of ghosting in front of the defender for the goal. He does that a lot.
