Football Jocky Style - The Attritional Game
Feature by Guy Montag

Attack Attack Attack

Dundee FC currently have the best defensive record in Scottish football but are only five points from the bottom of the Scottish 1st Division.

It's not exactly the work of Stephen Hawking to realise that the problems at Dens stem from the inability to score more than the other team. Under any circumstances.

Even poor sides now realise that to give themselves a chance of three points then one goal may be all thats required to beat the Dark Blues, and should you manage to score first against Dundee the chances are that you will not lose the game.

Discontent with the style of football would be tempered by a series of 1-0 wins but unfortunately they are not forthcoming. Only 4 wins from 11 games under Jocky suggests that while we seem hard to beat we are also hard to watch.

The gap between Dundee and the top of the league has widened in that period and a gilt edged chance to close the gap has been thrown away over the last two weeks with disappointing performance against Morton and Airdrie, the latest two sides to be promoted from the 2nd Division.

Worrying times ahead for the run in if the ball doesn't start resting in the opposition net from time to time.

Only twice this season have we managed to score more than one goal and each time we have picked up the three points.

Perhaps time for Jocky to ditch the dreaded formation and try to win a game or two?
