Dundee United v Ross County Wednesday 26 January


Recommended Posts

Big win for us. Clarks one of these players that just isn't good enough to be relied on week in week out but you can't help but like him.  Good assist from Watt too.

We were far the better team in the first half but that was anyone's game in the second. Massive 3 points which could stop the rot.

Watt was absolutely trying to top corner the ball into the far post 🤣

But aye great goal from Nicky, some leap on him for a short arse.

Thought we were pretty good in the first half, then inexplicably stopped doing the things that were working. That 10-15 minutes between the goals, we looked like we were doing one of those drills where you deliberately give the other team the ball to practice defending.

Delighted with the 3 points though

He just seemed to hang in the air for it. One hell of a jump to get on the end of it. 

2nd half was much more disappointing. County came ourt fired up and we were caught cold. Very tidy finish for their goal but it's infuriating that we were completely oblivious to how much space Charles-Cook was in.

Really needed that win though, especially as we're due our customary skelping at Parkhead this weekend.

If anyone starts at right back over Keiran Freeman then it should be a stackable offence. Hes really good going forward and, well, just bombs forward.

McNulty is still pish.

Watt was good.

As I've said eleventy thousand times, Butcher is a centre half and should be nowhere near midfield. No matter what he thinks.

Decent performance, thought we'd lost it when we went a goal down but to come from behind with 2 goals from Nicky Clark was tremendous. He gets alot of stick but deserves the plaudits tonight.

Thought there could have been at least a couple more penalties for hand ball for each team too. The referee was shite. Thankfully.

ETA felt Benji was suspect at the goal and seemed to forget keepers these days are supposed to punch the ball wide and not back out to the edge of the box. (I do prefer a keeper that catches the ball when saving as opposed to punching clear but its the modern way now). Made up for it with a good save later on though.

Thought Butch done really well at CB and a few times in the second half brought the ball out of defence and forced County back a couple times.

Yeah. To be honest, hes actually not too bad on the ball as a defender so him and Mulgrew in a back 3 with Edwards wouldn't be the worst thing when required. Also means hes not dropping 10 yards deeper from midfield to pick the ball up and the likes of Levitt can get on the ball more.

Aye, what’s happened to the Fuchs of the early part of the season?

Perhaps he's nursing an injury that hasn't fully resolved itself? Whatever it is, the energy we're used to seeing from him has been conspicuously lacking in recent weeks. Really surprised he wasn't subbed earlier tonight.

73 mins - Courts out

 

FT - looking out the passports again 🙄

 

Dont let the scoreline fool anyone. That second half was rancid. When moving the ball, we are slower than a week in the jail. So many players are out of form at the same time that it beggars belief they continue to be selected

Given away two decisive penalties and beaten in the air by a man half his height. Warra start for Drysdale.

From the point of shithousing, it couldn't have happened to a better person. After his antics at your goal celebration it was a perfect "get it up you" for United fans.

Out of curiosity what's Charles-Cook's "stirring" celebration all about?

For me Courts has to be thanking Clark as Clark has kept him in a job.

The 1st half was aa massive improvement on recent games. We attacked with more pace and really should have been in front at the break. Couldn't believe Maynard-Brewer was time wasting half way through the half at 0-0.

Second half we resorted to type. Absolutely abysmal performance, we simply stopped playing. What is it with our desire to ignore players in space? The number of times Niskanen and more so Freeman were wide open and the ball never makes it to them. A well taken penalty and a good cross and finish from Clark.

 

We went home happy, but if we had drawn or lost that game I feel Courts' position would have been untenable.

It's genuinely the most self-explanatory celebration possible.

Not really as holding up your left hand while moving your right hand in small circulalr motion with one finger pointing down to your left hand looks as much like "cooking" as Drysdale looks like a competent central defender.
