Adewumi

[Vegas Claret]

Put Dundee one up v Rangers !

[123EasyasBFC]

Looks to be a real talent for his age. When him and vetro went on loan there, it was vetro that was more well known to

[Bosscat]

Just saw that on Twittler Vegas

[Hedontplayforyou]

Nice little finish. Watched him against Dundee United the other day and he showed a few decent touches , it was mostly huff and puff from Dundee really but he used his pace well at times. Hope he impresses for the remainder of the season. I thought Dodgson may have joined up with him this month but not to be

Another Dundee goal kick as Oluwaseun Adewumi shields the ball out of play.

He's been excellent tonight.

[billyhamilton82]

"However, the man of the match, surely according to every observer, was Seun Adewumi. The 19 year old was superb. His skill, drive and composure were superior to anything Rangers could offer."

[claretgimmer]

To coin an old phrase ` if your good enough you`re old enough` maybe if his loan can`t be cut short he should at least be expected to start training with the first team squad next summer with a view to being on the bench he`s obviously got the ability and then integrated into the first team irrespective of the fact that he will still qualify for the under 21`s, I realize the standard of football in the SP is probably on a par with mid Championship level but at some point we need to take a chance with some of these young lads, other clubs do seem to have some of these young gems at this age and give them a chance, he would be monitored by coaching staff to ensure he wasn`t being over used.

[CaptJohn]

This lad looks very good. Decent turn of pace and drives at defences. I hope to see him in a C&B shirt in the future.

[Juan Tanamera]

Had a goal disallowed for offside as well.

[Hipper]

First time I've looked at a whole Scottish match.

Adewumi was steady in the first half and offered a lot more attacking threat in the second. He seemed to play a sort of recent Hannibal role on the left, siting quite far in but going back to help defensively. He mostly strolled around with the odd urgent sprint, hardly putting in a tackle or header, just tried to add to the defending numbers and block passes. He started the goal in the first half with a run down the left touchline which petered out but then poor Rangers defending set up the goal which he took well. He also hit a shot under pressure over. In the second half, especially after Vetro came on, he looked lively going forward, had a well taken goal disallowed for someone else's offside, ballooned a shot over after good work by Vetro, and had another well struck shot which went straight at the goalkeeper - he should have done better there. He was the Dundee player most likely to score. Defensively he was OK but there were a couple of occasions where I think he should have gone back with an unmarked player who nearly scored. It may not have been in his instructions but he should have done it for the team anyway.

All in all an impressive performance and I think he was named MoM although I would have given it to one of Dundee's central defenders.

Vetro also impressed when he came on. He played right mid and looked lively and athletic. Good work set up a chance for Adewumi and he looked to drive forward when he could.

The general standard of football seemed to be mid Championship. It was mostly Rangers attacking but Dundee defended well and attacked with a threat - mostly Adewumi. They probably should have won it but a draw was about right.

I enjoyed the spectacle and it was a pleasure to see all the players mostly just getting on with playing football. There was little cynical stuff that we are used to.

That's not true. Cerny of Rangers looked the best player on the pitch when he drove forward.

How did Vetro do? He has struggled for minutes apparently .

Had one good move when he came on, for me he needs to move to a club where he will be a starter

Nobody puts tackles in unless they are desperate these days, it gets you booked. They get in position to block passing lanes.
Have a look at players tackling stats, you would be amazed how low they are for all players.

I get all that and It may not happen as much but it still happens and is still a necessary skill.

A total of 30 in our most recent game (see defensive stats):

Dundee had 31 last night:

So we had 7 successful tackles out of 13 in a local Derby.
The game has changed dramatically hasn't it?

48 tackles in the Dundee vs Rangers game, only half were successful
The games gone

[xxmunkyennuixx]

I watched him against Dundee. Good work rate, decent touch, decent pass. He was solid. There's a player in there.

[Hipper]

Dundee on Sky again tonight against Celtic, KO 2000.

[NickBFC]

Just scored v Celtic. Nice goal too.

Super goal.

[Buxtonclaret]

Too that really well!

[TPClaret]

Seems like our partnership with Dundee could be good for our young players

[Stonehouse]

Keeps playing like that we could sell him for a good price to Rangers or Celtic.

[boatshed bill]

Or we could even keep him?

[Buxtonclaret]

Giving it a good go, Dundee.
Adawumi had a great effort curled just wide as well.

[Buxtonclaret]

3-2 Dundee!

[Buxtonclaret]

Good watch that. 3-3
Only saw the 2nd half, but our lad had a good game. Not afraid to take a man on.

Great game and our lad was brilliant.

19 years old, he is some player with another fantastic goal, that's 4 in 10 starts.

Celtic and Rangers are the benchmark in the Scots league and he has scored against both of them.

Bet not many players, especially Burnley players, can say they’ve scored against both Rangers and Celtic, and certainly not in the space of a week

Wonder if any other Burnley player has even scored against Rangers and Celtic ?

Bobby Seith for Dundee?
Dont know the answer but with the link-up between Burnley and Dundee I am surprised that noone has got a picture of Bobby with League winners medals for both clubs

Well he didn’t get his league medal with Burnley until over a generation after 1960. I think it was the late 1990’s or early 2000’s but CT will know

Quite right mdd there was a lovely picture taken of him receiving it from Barry Kilby. Justice finally was done!
Just think someone missed an opportunity for a nice publicity photo something certainly unique for Burnley and Dundee.

[ChorltonCharlie]

Promising signs. Easy to mock Scottish football, but it's not as bad as some make out and Celtic/Rangers have both only lost 1 European game in 6 this season. Could potentially have done a job for us over the next few months, but sometimes the bigger picture is leaving a young lad where they are and allowing them to develop in comfortable surroundings. If we don't go up this season, integrating players like Adewumi and Bauress alongside astute signings to replace the inevitable high profile departures would seem to be key to any future success.

[dandeclaret]

Kyle Lafferty did.

[dibraidio]

On the Bauress/McDermott thread we were discussing the difficulty of getting players decent loan opportunities. Playing for Dundee gives the lads some big game experience and is definitely better than League Two.

Not sure that it's done much for the reputations of Dodgson, Costelloe and Mellon who were at Dundee last season and are all back in League Two.

Mellon scored 3 in 14 games for them, Adewumi has now scored 4 in 15. Hopefully these last two games have given him confidence and he can keep up the good form for the rest of the season. Excellent experience for Adewumi who is still only 19.

[fatboy47]

If the lad starts scoring too many in Scotland he'll get kicked up in the air. Some gnarly types can handle that just fine but Adewumi is only a skinny teenager.

Let's hope he comes back in one piece.

He looks strong enough to me, and they'd have to catch him to kick him.

[Quickenthetempo]

Another 2 assists at the weekend.

Dodgson is back in League 1 but he always looked the best of the three to me

Dodgson and Costelloe are both currently in League One. Dodgson would have gone out on loan last summer but for an injury and is now at Burton and doing really well according to reports.
