That\u2019s how we got back into the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe responded and didn\u2019t coast to defeat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fans have been great and expect a better performance but it will come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey turned out in their numbers on Friday and, with them on our side, that has to be a positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"after-the-content-hook-1\" class=\"content-hook\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dundee defender Jordan Marshall welcomed the \u201cconfrontation\u201d in the dressing room at East End Park.","protected":false},"author":7151,"featured_media":949446,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"esio_related_content":"yes","esio_send_to_subbed":"","send_to_es":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[29],"tags":[5665,126723],"newsletter-control":[4203],"url":"https:\/\/www.thecourier.co.uk\/fp\/sport\/football\/dundee-fc\/949444\/dressing-room-confrontation-welcomed-by-dundee-defender-jordan-marshall\/","author_name":"Ian Roache","author_image_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7afce764af141c21fb6b1c941f78c39f?s=64&d=blank&r=g","featured_image_url":"https:\/\/wpcluster.dctdigital.com\/thecourier\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/08\/SNS-19175804-e1564857244856-830x564.jpg","acf":{"curated_content_flag":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.1 (Yoast SEO v21.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dressing-room 'confrontation' welcomed by Dundee defender Jordan Marshall<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thecourier.co.uk\/fp\/sport\/football\/dundee-fc\/949444\/dressing-room-confrontation-welcomed-by-dundee-defender-jordan-marshall\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dressing-room 'confrontation' welcomed by Dundee defender Jordan Marshall\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dundee defender Jordan Marshall welcomed the \u201cconfrontation\u201d in the dressing room at East End Park.
