We have the potential to be very good, but also very shit. Despite our results we have gone long periods this season of not being that great, but we have shown in some of the games, and in some spells that we can be very strong if things click. I do hope we go for it, I would rather lose having had a go than have to suffer a defensive 90 minutes in the hope of a narrow win or a replay (which we don't want or need). A similar side to last week but with Butcher in for Clark, Harkes in for Glass and maybe McMullan in for Appere would be fine by me. Chances are we will play with a 451/4231 for the rest of the season after Clark's injury. If we play with Shankland isolated up front on his own we will lose comfortably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Suprising line-up (formation probably bollocks) Reynolds on the bench? Would have prefererred to have seen Appere in the side instead of Harkes or Pawlett, but hey-ho. Cammy Smith can't even make the squad? Ouch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought 4231 when I seen the line up surely the only way with those players unless Harkes is playing RM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a Neil Lennon special from what I can remember, Hecky just bombed him out completely. If whoever is playing directly up against Whittaker is any good we will struggle. Both United’s wingers seem like threats too, Pawlett especially for his diving ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it whatever formation you want, if the midfield players don’t offer the right sort of support then Shankland will be isolated and ineffective. 13 minutes ago, ArabFC said: Suprising line-up (formation probably bollocks) Reynolds on the bench?

Neilson always makes room for Pawlett on these occasions that he’s not crocked. Fair enough but if he’s not contributing I hope it doesn’t take Neilson 85 minutes to change things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Be very surprised to see Pawlett lasting much of the match. Demoting Glass is a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Day Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 United are absolutely battering the rest of the Championship, looking forward to them coming back up - hopefully passing Hearts and Hamilton going the other way. This was always the tie of the round and its good that BBC agree as I couldnt make it up to Dundee today. I suspect this will be a very close match, possibly even one goal to decide it..............so its good that United dont have a goal machine like Shankland up front, eh ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snifter Pee Rot Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Interested to see how Whittaker does as a DM. Could be the deciding factor in the game how he plays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Two minutes into the game and we've had Callum Butcher giving away a daft free kick, Hibs having a shot cleared off the line and been sung the James McPake song. Dis gun B gud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the biggest teams to have visited Tannadice in the last 4 seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
