skinny arab Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) The boost we got following 7 points from 9 in the league has been pretty much been smashed in the last couple of games, back to being a soft touch with some very poor defensive performances. Might be time to shake up the defensive shape as this has become a very big 3 points with Killie and St Johnstone winning at the weekend. Very fortunate to escape with a point in our last game against Motherwell but after a good start under Hammell they seem to be going through a tough spell also. 4-4-2 Keeper Smith Edwards Mulgrew/Graham McMann Middleton McGrath/Levitt Sibbald Behich Watt Fletcher Not sure what the script is with Levitt and Mulgrew injury wise but definitely think we are missing Mulgrews organisation and would personally be making him captain on his return as I don’t think Edwards is a great captain and without the responsibility he can concentrate on his own game more.

YassinMoutaouakil Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 With this the 5 teams likely to be in bother, this is massive. Killie and St Johnstone look capable of grinding out more wins than us. Ross County will sign a whole new team in January. Us and United both have rookie managers leading unbalanced squads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletchers Saucy Manbun Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I'll be happy with a United win, Johnnies & Killie sharing the points, and Hearts pumping County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Hope for a win but expecting a loss. I assume this is the feeling for most fans n both sides. We need to win games, which means we have to pass the ball to our own players as well as moving around the pitch. Maybe also take a few shots on target as well. Tony Watt Guaranteed to get something (goal, assist) as the usual with former players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Despite some of the cricket score results I still think The Arabs have a better squad on paper. We have a mixture of low confidence, bodies available for selection and central defensive frailties to deal with. Think a win here for either team will be massive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middleton I found it interesting that on the last match thread a St Mirren fan saying McGrath is playing in a completely different role from when he played for them and is looking far less effective. Won’t be the first time United have signed a player and played him out of position with sub-standard results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGrath was our best player against both Aberdeen and Hibs, playing in (presumably) much the same role as he did against St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 McGrath, in my recall, played centrally for St Mirren mostly. Strangely, the game I recall him playing wide was the 5-1 defeat for United at Tannadice in January last year: he scored twice. I can't really pin down where he is playing for United, but he rarely looks central to me. To the game, have Motherwell been better away from home than at Fir Park in the league this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think County will beat Hearts. Hearts have been rotten in every game after a European night. I’m sure the game is away from home so there will be tiredness after the match plus travelling and they then have to travel to Dingwall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've won more games away from home aye. Tbf, that's not really our problem at the moment. We've a paper thin squad with a pile of injuries and our confidence seems to be absolutely shot.

AdamMFC Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) We badly need a win here but given the low confidence and amount of injuries we have I've got a feeling it'll be another loss. 2-0 United with Watt inevitably getting both after we miss a sitter to take the lead and another to equalise.

I still work with the 'W' formation normally, but that would mean he played centrally for them, wouldn't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
