'The scoreline flattered Dundee'

Dundee fans, we asked for your views on Saturday's 2-1 defeat to St Johnstone.

Here's what some of you said:

Doug: Same old excuses Tony Docherty, getting a bit fed up now maybe it's time to think about your position if this isn't resolved. This has been going on since last season and isn't getting any better. We should be in a top six position but instead we are four points off the bottom, not good enough.

Brian: Disgraceful performance, totally outplayed and outfought, the midfield were brushed off the ball too easily and the two forwards were given little to play with. Trevor Carson made some cracking saves. Man of the match for me goes to big Billy Koumetio, he was outstanding. Docherty, you need to have a long hard look to see if you are up for the job as we appear to be floundering badly.

Jim: We need to stop dropping points from winning positions, lost count of how many times that has happened the past two seasons. We do have a really young squad right enough, we missed some experience against St Johnstone I think.

Danny: We are now in big trouble and it's all down to the manager's continuing inability to make the correct substitutions at the right time. He has received deserved praise for some of our attacking play but his win ratio overall is poor.

Gavin: It seems difficult to see what's changed from last season. From a cohesive team, to one that looks like confidence is as low as it can get. We have to turn the corner quickly or it’s going to be a relegation battle at Dens this season unfortunately!

Andy: An awful performance. The scoreline flattered Dundee who deserved to lose by two or three. Second best all over the park. Tactics were baffling; why spend the second half trying to absorb pressure and hang on to a one goal lead with a defence notorious for their individual errors and lapses of concentration? Surely more sensible to attack and finish the game off?

Doug: An insipid performance by Dundee gained them exactly what they deserved; nothing. They were devoid of attacking flair for the majority of the game and far too many times they decided to play the ball backwards instead of putting the St Johnstone defence under pressure. Lyall Cameron was particularly guilty in this regard. The better team won.
