There were 17 outfield players taking part in the possesion training and Aidan Connolly was running round the outside obviously still recovering from his injury. We have 21 players in our outfield squad discluding Lee Miller which means 3 were missing from that training session. I can't see Kelly, I can't see Mercer and I can't see Laverty. Give Kelly and Mercer are two of our starting defenders this might by why we're bringing in (or rumoured to be bringing in) another defender. Still think the main deficiencies lie in the middle-to front areas. Morrison apart, there is a massive lack, make that total absence, of any craft, creativity, drive, guile, pace, invention, all the more so if Connolly is still not fit. A couple of attack minded, final-third players, and a player who has at least half an idea of where the goal is, really would not go amiss, albeit the market for players is now extremely limited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm with you there I'd much rather see us bring in a couple of fearless youngsters who just want to get on the ball and make things happen. Bit of legs in the middle of the park would be ideal also as other than Gomis who's only really got 60 minutes in him we're one dimensional in there. If Neilson does come in then I can only assume Kelly or Mercer are out for a bit of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Seems Neilson played as a centre midfielder when he first signed full time with Dundee United. Could maybe be looking at playing him in the middle of the park. https://mobile.twitter.com/dufcacademy/status/1113700078378737664?lang=en 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 6 loans allowed at anyone time I’m sure so at the moment we have Deveny from Killie and McClelland from Rangers. Once the united two are in e have two more to use which should include a keeper I’d imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_bairn Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I'd be looking at a centre forward to come in on loan as well. Zero confidence in Keena staying fit until the end of the season and the rest are not up to the required standard. Hopefully Neilson (if rumours are true) can be a bit of a utility player playing RB, CM or CB when required. Could we loan Nathan Austin and if he currently has a part time job then swap him with Akeel Francis to do that during the week?

The issue we have is our loans are only going to come from another Scottish club. Looking through the strikers within the Scottish leagues there isn't really anyone sticking out as a good signing as if we're bringing one in then it's going to be a youngster who hasn't had any or much first team football and the better ones have already been snapped up. Given we have 5 strikers on the books already I doubt M&M will bring another striker. So if we're not bringing in another striker I'd like to see us bring in an energetic centre midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 With the league due to start again next Saturday I don't think he's pulling our leg. Hopefully get the 18 game season announcement today followed by some signing announcements. What a Friday that would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when we used to grow our own. Sad when even Alloa have a youth system and we don't. What an utter mess that MSG have made of our club, not their club, our club.. Tragic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 He's an improvement on literally every "striker" we have.He was a decent striker when he joined us. By the end he was a mess and most were glad to see the back of him.Definitely had potential. Problem is we could say the same re a number of the players we currently have.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
