There’s no hangover at downed Dark Blues
NEW Dundee manager Gary Bowyer believes there is no relegation hangover at Dens Park.
The Englishman met his squad for the first time last week as they returned from their summer break.
The Dark Blues will start the season in the Championship but Bowyer has not seen any lingering after-effects of last term’s bitter disappointment.
He said: “I don’t sense any hangover at all.
“I sense that everyone wants to be here and wants to drive the club forward.
“At the very first meeting I laid down what I expect from them and what they can expect from me.
“They know we will work very hard and everyone has thrown themselves into that. Nobody has knocked on my door and said they want to go.
“That’s a really positive thing, especially in a team that has just dropped down a division.
“It’s a clean slate for them in terms of me picking the team. It’s down to how they impress me in training.”
Bowyer is trying to get up to speed on Scottish football sharpish.
He said: “With technology the way it is now, there are facilities to watch as many games as you can.
“I’ve been looking at the teams we have coming up on Wyscout. But I need to get out and about as well.
“I want to take in as much information as I can.”
