Steven W Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 10 hours ago, ArabFC said: Nor me. And I’d have been more surprised and worried to see Watt straight into the starting XI. Most managers will have an idea of their team days in advance and will be setting them up with that in mind in training. It's a valid point, but there has to be exceptions. You can be sure Lafferty will be in from the start today. I'd have said likewise with Watt during the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans should change when circumstances do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 3 hours ago, TheScarf said: What like is Chalmers? I recognise the name but don’t ever remember seeing him playing. Our record of actually playing youngsters on loan from Premiership clubs isn’t great. Very skilful, left footed, tends to play cutting in from the right wing. No doubting his ability but still doesn't contribute very much and tends to either dribble until he loses the ball or shoot from impossible angles. Could end up a very good player or a largely pointless show pony. Really needs to learn the game and hasn't played much top team football for his age. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior_Arab Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Substitute Shankland for Watt and that looks awfully like the front 3 that Mellon insisted on playing, despite it obviously not working.

Aufc Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Based on what exactly? Probably in the running for worst take of 2022 and its only JanuaryWell the top 5 generally takes cares of itself. There is then always a team that performs well to join them. Motherwell have been fairly consistent last few seasons so would have them as favourites to complete the top 6. After this, every other team is much of a muchness therefore would expect them all to be happy to avoid a relegation play off (equally a bit of form could also see them get top 6). United performed well earlier in season which looked like it would take you away from a relegation battle and might be enough to do that. However, I don’t think it was too outrageous to say United fans should have expected a relegation battle at the start of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 We missed out on a top 6 place by a point and reached a cup semi final. Then we brought in a Finnish international, a Welsh international, a former Scottish international as well as a Northern Ireland international yet you believe we should have expected a relegation battle? As i said the first time, a bizarre take 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdyteejay Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The next few weeks are going to be interesting/pivotal to our chances of top 6 or being dragged down into the relegation battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said the first time, a bizarre take Not really bizarre, given the anti Courts stance of a sizeable element of the support when the season commenced. The Finnish international, and the Welsh international, weren't at Tannadice at the start of the season. 5 hours ago, mishtergrolsch said: And the club told us top 6 is a minimum expectation this season. And again, a lot of supporters scoffed at any such prediction, angry at the appointment by the club (Asghar) of Courts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw I don't think well make top 6. Not because I'm angry at Asghar or Courts, because I think we're pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
