Anyone fancy a deep dive into the work going in behind the scenes at Dundee's academy setup?
Big thanks to everyone at the club, as well as the parents, who spoke to me about it
Hopefully gives some insight for fans into what goes on behind the scenes π

GOAL! Dundee 1-0 Ross County
A super goal breaks the deadlock, what a big goal that could be for the Dee
Cameron with the slide-rule pass, cuts through the County defence and sets Scott Tiffoney in behind
Tiffoney with the cool finish under Amissah to give Dundee the lead
HT Dundee 0-0 Ross County
Brightened up at the end but a pretty poor half overall from the hosts
County had the better of the game but can't find a way through the Dee defence
Dundee's best moments on the break, need to show much more second half
Team lines at sunny Dens Park
Huge game - win secures safety, a loss doesn't bear thinking about
Clark Robertson is back in, Aaron Donnelly out of the squad entirely. Tiffoney out for Adewumi on the wing
Pitch looking π
That's a big decision to be made
FT Dundee 1-2 Motherwell
Dundee let yet another lead slip with a poor second half display
Defensive error from Clark Robertson allowing Maswanhise to nod in the winner after Koutroumbis' red card
Only silver lining on a bad day is Hearts have done them a favour in Dingwall
GOAL! Dundee 1-0 Motherwell
Midfield? Get this man up front with finishing like that!
Long throw from Astley flicked on by Shaughnessy, it pops up in front of Portales and he volleys across goal and into the top corner
A proper finish, superb
Team lines at Dens Park
1 change for Dundee - Adewumi in for Seb Palmer-Houlden
Portales continuing in midfield
No place in the squad for Garza or Chespi, both training on the Dens pitch ahead of the game. Both fit but not on the bench
FT Hearts 0-1 Dundee
What a win, massive 3 pts for Dee
Simon Murray with the winner, huge defensive performance, players leaving everything out there
And the fans enjoyed it too!
HT Hearts 0-1 Dundee
Big boos from home fans as Dee lead
Home side had most of the ball but Dee have defended well, Carson pulling off a super save too
Going forward they've been a threat, Cameron has made a difference & Mulligan excellent
Murray with goal 22 of the season
Yeah, looks like Portales is in there
He trained there on Thursday
Or maybe not a back 3 - Portales has been used in defensive midfield previously
Carson
Astley, Shaughnessy, Robertson, Larkeche
Portales
Cameron, Mulligan
Palmer-Houlden, Murray, Tiffoney
Doc ringing changes for Dundee at Hearts
In: Cameron, Astley, Palmer-Houlden, Portales
Out: McGhee, Adewumi, Sylla, F Robertson
McGhee, Adewumi injured, Sylla benched is big call
4 cbs & a lb in that team, looks like a return to back 3 with Astley on the right
Scott Fraser!
Dundee were bad against Hibs - how worried should we be for their Premiership survival?
5 talking points (could easily have been more to grumble on with) from a poor day at Easter Road π
www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/foo...
FT Hibs 4-0 Dundee
Hibs very good, Dundee not good at all
A sore one for Dee after a good run of performances.
Never laid a glove on the hosts - just 4 shots compared to Hibs 19
Now 71 league goals conceded this season
A bad day that can't linger with 5 huge games to come
Teams at sunny Easter Road π
It's a copy & paste job for both teams - no changes for Dundee after the St Mirren win, no changes for Hibs after beating Rangers
Lyall Cameron & Scott Fraser both trained this week but not ready to return
Sunday names on the teamsheet seems apt
FT Dundee 3-4 Rangers
An agonising end for Dundee in what was a hugely entertaining game of football
An excellent performance had them 3-1 up and looking good but tiredness cost them in the end
Came down to Murray hitting the post and Dessers finishing his chance both at 3-3
HT Dundee 2-1 Rangers
Half-time welcome at the end for the Dee despite an excellent opening 40 mins
Murray and Shaughnessy goals put them two up before Shaughnessy's og gave Gers belief
Dessers denied 4 times by Carson
More opportunities for goals in this - for both sides
Dundee v Rangers
No Lyall Cameron for the Dee at the end of a strange week. Unsurprising.
No big surprise tho to see Fin Robertson in his place - Docherty likes Fin against the Old Firm
Otherwise same again after the derby
Koumetio back on the bench but still 2 goalies
Had a wee bit of fun with AI and the Dundee derby - what could go wrong?
Judging by some comments on twitter it annoyed some people π
Some interesting stuff churned out by the thing - ChatGPT was rubbish though
Getting ready for kick off - a semi-final spot at stake
Dundee fans filling up the away section, starting to make some noise π£οΈ
Team lines for the big cup match
2 changes for Dundee - Cameron (ban) and Sylla out for Fin Robertson and Astley
Back 3 is back, bit of a surprise after improvements with a 4 recently
Looks like 3-5-2
Hearts without McCart, Lewis Neilson in for him
Dundee have their skipper back - how much have they missed Joe Shaughnessy?
I crunched the numbers to see πππ
