IT’S the time of year for reflection, but there will be a fair few on Tannadice Street who’d rather consign the last 12 months to a particularly out-of-reach book at the back of the cupboard.
A few standout moments aside - finishing fourth, that night against AZ Alkmaar, the thumping of Aberdeen - 2022 won’t exactly be remembered in these parts of the world with the fondness of 1987 or 2010.
Even the Championship-winning 2020 probably felt halcyon in comparison to that other night against AZ. Or that one versus Celtic. Or the meagre return of six wins by Christmas Day, spanning three managers and several high-profile signings.
