Transcript

00:00Full time here at Dens, Dundee 4 Mullow 1, Madcap 5 minutes in the second half

00:09Pretty much inspired Mullow's downfall in this, a changed system of sorts from Mullow

00:13with still the back 3 but with Giartovari's in at right wing back and Tony Watt up front

00:17making it more of an attack minded 3-5-2

00:21The attacking stuff was better certainly for the first hour or so but defensively Mullow

00:25looked a bit fragile all night in the new system

00:28The lack of clean sheets was brought up in the build up to this game by supporters and

00:33can Mullow manage to build a foundation that allows them to get that

00:37There wasn't really much in the way of defensive structure, it certainly seemed to be teetering

00:41at points during the game but they were performing ok

00:45Going forward they looked a threat, Apostolos Stamatolopoulos got a goal back after Dundee

00:50opened the scoring in the first half, Harry Payton missed a decent chance at the start

00:53of the second half as well before Kofi Balmer went down in the box from a Mullow corner

00:59holding his head and John Beaton opted not to pull the game back for a head injury

01:05Dundee raced up the park and scored, his reasons for that according to Stuart Kettlewell after

01:10the game was it wasn't a severe enough head injury essentially to warrant the game being

01:15pulled back which Stuart Kettlewell fundamentally disagreed with but the reaction by Mullow's

01:19players to that wasn't good enough, they conceded another two within a short space

01:23of time, that made it 4-1 and the game was done at that point

01:27It's three defeats in a row now, four Mullow in the go to, it's Mirren on Saturday in need

01:32of a much needed result of some kind, while the performance was positive in parts here

01:37ultimately they lost 4-1 to a team in and around them in the league and fans were quite

01:41quick to show their frustrations about that at full time whistle here
