Not really. The fact that the passage of play leading to the goal should never have taken place, does not change the fact that our defence is suspect, and I completely agree with you on that front.

Ira Gaines Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 What is it with supporters saying "oh we'll lose". It's a growing trend on here. Stop being such utter shitebags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Noting that the Dundee United Supporters Foundation are intending to hand out leaflets at this game, and that they haven't got the support of the Federation (of DU supporters' clubs). Also was told at the ICT game that the Fed are intending to protest at Glebe Park against Thompson: if true (can anyone confirm?), they would be both making a fool of themselves and also disrespecting Brechin City. Too many factions and egos are holding back progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 We need to find a way to get Morgan more involved. On Saturday Morton were doubling, and at times trebling, up on him. As we were playing the 4-3-3 and morton a 4-4-2 the 'ton right back was getting help from his centre half as well as his right mid. When we went 2 up top and had more to occupy the centre half's it's no coincidence Lewis came into the game and created more chances. Start with Sutton and Reilly, with McShane dropping to the bench. Midfield 4 of Morgan, McGinn, Magennis and Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The thought of Smith and Morgan on the counter attack running into open space gets me a bit excited tbh. I don't know how United will set up but I'd imagine they will have the majority of possession and territory, it will depend if our defence is disciplined enough to sit and soak up the pressure, away from home this season we haven't been.

If you have been to all our recent games you will have noticed Morgan has two , three opposition players on him everyone now knows tbe threat, however in these games Morgan was still a threat. Kyle back will help Morgan who is a special talent also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it'll probably take another few games before he's fully up to speed, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is a slight variation in our tactics on Saturday immediately gave him a bit more room to work and the opposition someone else to worry about.

It's all well and good playing with entirely nippy wee guys, but if they figure out how to counter that, then we've got nothing else. We certainly don't have the threat from midfield that we did last season (ie from the edge of the box.) Playing Sutton with Reilly, properly close together, would add several extra dimensions to our play. Gives us height; will win knock-downs; the defence will want to push up onto Sutton but they'll also have to watch over their shoulders for Reilly; it will also give us more targets in the box when Smith and Morgan hit the byline.

Saint....when I said St Mirren are well suspect at the back...it was an observation open for all to see.That being the case I expect Ross to sort it out...if he can?

Buddist Monk Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It must be frustrating, disappointing and certainly not living up to expectations for the United fans considering on paper they are easily the best team in the league. That said, as a large percent of United fans actually live in Dundee, I'd expect them to be entirely used to "frustrating, disappointing and certainly not living up to expectations".
