Fan Reactions to Dundee’s 4-1 Victory Over Hibernian

Following Dundee’s 4-1 victory over Hibernian, supporters shared their reactions to the match. Grant expressed satisfaction that the team capitalized on playing against ten men, a feat they had not achieved twice in the previous season. He noted the presence of good players and suggested that the team’s scoring ability means they primarily need to improve their defense. Neil described the outcome as a “brilliant result,” highlighting the strength of the squad and setting a “top-six and Europe” finish as a realistic objective. John acknowledged a “deserved win” but attributed it partly to a “poor Hibs team.” He noted that the red card provided more space, and with Jordan McGhee and Mo Sylla flanking him, Cameron Lyall delivered his “best game for ages.” He commended Josh Mulligan, Scott Fraser, and Clark Robertson, and observed that Antonio Portales performed his defensive role effectively. However, John still harbored “doubts about Billy Koumetio.” Rod stated he has no concerns about the team’s scoring capability, even when trailing. He argued that despite discussions about the departure of Luke McCowan, Simon Murray is a more crucial player due to his “energy, leadership and influence in games.” Rod added that Murray’s actions, such as “pressing defences into mistakes or getting us penalties,” are vital, suggesting that without him, McCowan’s absence would have been more keenly felt. Gary remarked that “The fog didn’t ruin a stylish performance from Dundee.” He praised the midfield as “excellent” and credited the entire team for their contribution to a “really convincing win,” despite playing against ten men. He noted that teams often secure results at Dens Park but commended Dundee for restricting Hibs. Gary concluded by calling it “As good a win as you’ll see, or not!” Another supporter named Neil hailed it as a “Great win,” noting that the team effectively utilized their numerical advantage “for the first time in a long time.” He observed that Mulligan “ripped into Hibs like Ben Doak,” and “fellow local lad Cameron controlled the middle of the pitch.” This Neil also expressed a belief that Dundee has not accumulated the points they deserve this season, citing missed wins against Aberdeen and Kilmarnock at home, which would have placed them “ahead of our arch rivals in fourth.” Brian commented that Dundee appeared “disjointed” until Hibs were reduced to ten men, after which, once the scores were level, “there was only one winner.” He suggested that in the second half, the team “really should have went for it and bettered our goal difference.” Despite this, he acknowledged it as “a good three points” and described Mulligan as “awesome.” Ronnie deemed it an “Excellent result” and praised Mulligan for receiving “plaudits after a dominant performance.” He cautioned that the celebration of the win “should be tempered given Hibs were down to 10 men and were giving Dundee a torrid time at the start.” Ronnie advised that Tony Docherty should address why the team “let Hibs bully them initially,” but still commended the team. Iain highlighted an unaddressed issue: the team’s “inability to convert chances when they arrive.” He noted that despite often dominating games, they have “failed to capitalise on chances created,” citing instances like Oluwaseun Adewumi missing “two decent chances” and a penalty miss against Aberdeen. Iain concluded that “If two of these chances had been taken victory would have been ours.”
