The Dundee United Thread 22/23


Recommended Posts

The manager is ultimately responsible for what happens on the park, but I’ll stick in the minority. I’m not calling for his head - not yet.

I’ve been part of teams who have collapsed when things went against us and part of teams that have fought for everything. Personally in a game like this - rightly or wrongly - I would’ve been kicking fcuk out of any oppo player I could get near. We had 1 booking today - in the 2nd minute.

Moulding a team takes time and I’m not convinced there’s anything that any new manager could do to stem the sort of collapse that has happened from the players on the pitch in recent weeks.

You could blame him for the players he’s brought in, but I (and many others) have been broadly happy with the recruitment.

So I’m at a loss. The performance at home to AZ was one of the best in many a year, and I want more of that - not the eye-bleeding fitba of the last few years.

But performances like today are unsustainable.

Thankfully we’ve got a league cup game in midweek to change our focus and then Motherwell next week.

The team needs to stand up over the next couple of games, or change will come. It’ll have to.

But please, for the love of God, get the chequebook out and sign a DM.

It doesn't even matter at this stage whose fault it is. There's no way back from 9.

We cannae sack players, so it looks like the manager takes the brunt. We left after either the 5th or 6th goal today, we were so badly set up that many of the goals looked almost the same.

When we heard it had reached 9 (Nine) I asked my son if he'd accept a ten goal defeat if it meant Jack Ross resigned. That's how disillusioning the last few weeks have been.

Ralph Hassenhutle has lost 9-0 twice as Southampton boss and hasn’t been punted, so it’s not like it’s an immediate death sentence as a manager. 

Ok, but did his team lose 23 goals on 4 games, scoring just 1?

24 conceded in 5 games who's the 'fun' now? You bunch of fucking clowns.
Thank you.
 
 
 

On balance, I would say it's the mid table Championship team

Never seen the Dees lose by 9 funboy.

Thank you.

I don't want him sacked for losing 9-0 but I do question what his managerial skills are.

110 minutes into the AZ game and we level. 25 minutes later the tie is over.

He said he expected a reaction and we are a goal down after 60 seconds v Hearts.

f**k knows what he did at half time today and v St Mirren but it clearly didn't work.

There's players in that squad now, who for whatever reason , are not playing to their potential. Mulgrew, Watt, Levitt, McGrath and Edwards are all well off it and others are too. 

Anyone can see 4 of the 5 above are being directly affected by the lack of a DCM.
