SOD at Tannadice for me. Full length of the pitch with (I think) Craigen, Higgy, SOD, backheel from Taylor then dummy from SOD and sumptuous finish. Added bonus of leaving Paul Paton on his arse.

Paul Caddis still without a club is he not? Bags of experience and can play right back and midfield

It does doesn’t it? Underwhelming panic signings, quantity over quality. Need to hope there’s a gem in there, and at least Williamson has some competition

From the highlights Gordon’s is a booking but never a red for me.

DM all day long. Protect our ropey defence, let the other midfielders push on and generally boss the team about and be a dirty shouty barsteward. We’re crying out for it.

Couldn’t fault his effort last season but not overly fussed. For every decent game he had four or five ranging from meh to invisible.

This. The winter transfer window was crying out for a quick fix. Not only did Caldwell have to clear out the utter garbage that Archie signed, but change the soft centre and mental weakness that saw us bottle so many leads and fail in crunch games. That was never going to happen overnight but progress has been made; the analogy about turning round an oil tanker is valid in our case. In this context I think he’s done ok but been harmed by the aiming for promotion sound bites when first appointed. Was never going to happen. I counter that with caution over some of the sh*te he comes out with and bizarre team selections at times. Equally he can make refreshingly bold subs and tactical switches to correct his initial mistakes! So in summary, deserves the chance to build further over the summer and into next season imo and not deserving of the some of the constant whining and abuse dished out.

Banzo’s expression though. Some boy.

This. Just as wearing is the “Archie had got us more points than Caldwell” argument. Archie’s team was on the slide in terms of performance and confidence IMO. Not convinced by Caldwell and he should undoubtedly have got more points in the board, but you can see some of the glaring deficiencies on the playing front being addressed.

This. A no nonsense midfield boss should have been Archie’s absolute priority, instead he ends up scrambling around and signing Ntwambe. That and not signing a right back were his final transfer calamities.

There can be absolutely no defence for such a negative line up away to Dunfermline having played reasonably well in an attacking sense in our previous game. None.

It’s perfectly normal for planning permission to be subject to a number of conditions which have to be cleared to allow final permission to be granted. Public consultations and objections are also the norm.

I’m ok with th signing of Scobbie as a short term reaction to the OWare injury. It’s the lad from Dundee and no right back cover that baffles me.

Don’t disagree, but there’s also usually nobody to pass forward to....

This. 100% this. I just don’t trust Archie signing 4 more players.
