Our academy players putting themselves in the Dundee shop window. If anybody thinks they will become first team players they are deluding themselves.
The only thing that Lenny will have been given to think about, is by fuck we need about five players in addition to the two RB’s.
Disappointing lack of real class in our young players. Continuing the trend over the last 30 years with only half a dozen in all that time produced.
Henderson and Johnston the only two with any hope of being able to move up.
Dear me.... these guys are so young and to write them off now is way to quick. For a club like us to get 1 youth player coming through each year is a bonus. So far we have, KT, Forrest, McGregor in the 1st team. We also have Johnstone and Henderson pushing for a place, for me that actually quite good. Lets give the rest a chance rather than writing them off after a friendly with Rennes.
On the game it's self, it's easy to pick out who our first team players are, Brown, Ajer, McGregor and Edward all oozed class.
Julien with Ajer beside him will be a stable partnership at the centre back. Julien was rusty but to me looked class. Brown and McGregor in front with Edward up top and we have a very very strong core.
It's who we fit around them, Forrest obviously (to me has been poor in preseason - but I wouldn't drop him on that). KT to come back. Christie fits in with the team very well. That leaves the forward left and right back.
1st 11 for a big game as it stands:
Bain
KT
Julien
Ajer
*RB
Brown
Mcgregor
Christie
Forrest
*Sinclair / Johnstone / Rogic / Griff
Edward
A right good right back is a must......
