Mulligan is never a centre midfielder for me. Gives the ball away far too often. His strengths are his pace and dribbling, needs to be playing out wide - RW or bombing on from full back.

Dundee were largely awful and yet could easily have come away with a point there. For some bizarre reason we’re playing a 3 CB formation despite only having one half decent CB at the club. Hopefully we start playing Tiffoney and McCowan high and wide from the start next game. For all the bravado on here, St Mirren aren’t much cop either. Probably on a similar level to Motherwell from what I’ve seen so far. A bit more streetwise than us certainly and McMenamin was a handful. Long season ahead for us if TD continues with this park the bus, conservative 3-5-2 malarky.

St Mirren looking as shakey as us at the back now we’ve got some width up the pitch

We’re absolutely honking. Thought the same last week. Too negative, hopeless at the back and soft as shite in midfield. I hope we’ve kept the receipt for that 6 foot 4 traffic cone upfront. Waste of a jersey.

We’ll be heading straight back down if Docherty persists with the is ultra conservative style of play. We’ve got two attacking full backs and two attacking wingers in the squad and yet we’re playing the narrowest formation. Absolute drivel to watch. The lad Bakayoko has covered about 30m in 135 minutes of football. 6 foot 4 traffic cone.

The gaffer has to take the blame for our 1st round exit there with his extremely negative tactics, at home to lower league dross. The old Craig Brown strategy of playing as many centre halves as you can should’ve been left in the bin in the 90s. What’s the point in signing Tiffoney and giving McCown a new deal if we’re going to play an extremely narrow 532. Should’ve had two wingers on from the start with either two up front or Cameron playing off the striker.

Inverness should’ve been two or three up by now. 8 shots to our 4. Remind me why we’ve got 4 centre backs, 2 full backs and 1 DM playing all at the same time

Playing against lower league opposition, needing to win by 2 clear goals and we’re playing 6 defenders. Laughable.

Going to be a long season if we’re playing 3/5 at the back all season. Absolute snorefest to watch.

Wait, were some folk expecting us to make 25 new signings

The panic and anxiety of the United commentators on DUTV is a joy to listen to.

Record saying we’re after Lewis Smith from Hamilton. Any good?

Buzzing we gave Rudden a three year deal. Going to really enjoy watching him give the ball away everytime the ball comes near him over the next few years.

Appointing a manager who’s banned from the dugout for 46% of our remaining games might just be peak Dundee. Complete lose lose situation because even if the unlikely happens and he keeps us up, we’ll end up giving him a long term deal.

Just read McGhee has still to serve a 6 game ban. 100% chance it’s McGhee then.

Can’t see Ross wanting the job even if he’s offered it. We’re an absolute graveyard for managers. Who was our last manager that got poached by a bigger/better team? Must’ve been Jim Duffy 25 years ago.

Griffiths away to play with the bairns

He’s got to go. Cummings playing right midfield? McMullan subbed after 30 mins? Punting aimless long balls up to lone striker Griffiths; all 5 foot 4 of him. Embarrassing stuff. Guaranteed we go down if McPake stays. Guaranteed he doesn’t get sacked for weeks yet.

Caballero I think, £700k?

Apparently the Murray story in the record is a load of shite and he’s not signing for us.

That's because you've only recently decided to switch your 'team' from Airdrie to Dundee Utd

Cannae believe you're away on holiday but still found time to be posting nonsense on the Dundee pages. The family doing your nut in pal?

Poisoned chalice that job anyway, he'll be sacked in a few months unless they are in the top 2

Worse news than a no vote

Just finished a book called 'Horse's Arse' by Charlie Owen. Described on the front as 'Life on Mars' but harder, turned out to be an excellent read. Basically set in the 70's, it follows the police force of a ficticious suburb of Manchester. The author himself was a chief inspector. It's really witty all the way through. If you've enjoyed stuff like Layer Cake and Porno, you'll probably love this.
