Dundee United v Hamilton Academics

[Szamo's_Ammo 6,917]

United have suffered just one defeat in our last 7 league matches and a win in this game will move us 13 points clear of relegation.

Accies are in terrible form, losing to diddies like Annan, Stranraer and St Johnstone and being hammered 8-0 at Ibrox last week.

All of these facts point to one thing and that is a Hamilton victory.

Our team/formation should be:

Benji

Smith Edwards Reynolds Robson

McMullan Butcher Fuchs Sporle

Shankland Clark/McNulty

 

Mind you it probably won’t be.

I'm hoping for a shot on target.

0-1

Failing that then a lot of fog again.

Chalmers fit for this?

Utd 3 Accies 0 - at half time but we will win the 2nd half 1-0 and Brian Rice will be delighted with the endeavour and attitude of the players.

I am willing to accept this without us kicking a ball.

It occurred to me recently that United's set up and form since going to a back 3/5 has closely mirrored that of the National Team. Very few goals conceded and very few chances created. Boring as f**k and painful to watch. Then the National Team had a couple of decent performances and I thought: maybe United will follow suit and become more expansive; maybe we'll remain hard to beat but might actually play some football. 

Then I watched the Slovakia and Israel games and realised that it was all a load of shit and we'd never score again.

0-0.

The Serbia game felt very similar to the United v Rangers League Cup final in 2008.

Better ending last Thursday though.

Thanks a lot, now I am having Mark Kerr flashbacks

Predicting Accies will keep a clean sheet - that's unlikely.

Don't think he'll be ready for another few weeks.

Game itself is odd as we won't have had a league match for 15 days, then have another fortnight before the next match. I'm hoping the players are refreshed and fully fit, not 'rusty'. In the most recent LC game I felt the side showed more attacking intent as a 4-4-2, maybe Mickey Mellon has taken note of that. Don't want to see Edwards, Connolly and Reynolds on the same park.

The stoppable force versus the moveable object.

If playing at home against a poorly performing Hamilton is not the time to go on the offensive then I don’t know when is.

Utd 1-0 Ham

 

Academicals produce the most artificial meat you can find in the league. More of a spam than a ham but some "folk" must keep buying that awful shit or they would have shut down, or relocated somewhere with a more obvious customer base such as the cheese and crackers superleague below us. Hopefully boarding themselves up at the same time they do the arena. Then we dont have to look at them anymore.

What was the unedited version of this?

It's only fair to share the pain.

Luckily we don't need to worry about cup finals anymore.

[Patrick Bateman 6,608]

We're not very good at this football malarkey.

If United don't win convincingly by a few goals then they should be ashamed of themselves.

[Dons_1988 11,343]

Feels like Hamilton are due a win from nowhere. Make it so.
