Today wasn't quite as bad as McGurn not playing at East End in 2011. McGurn had been dropped weeks before, I'm not sure on the alternative, but having Simmons as a wide midfielder was the more surprising of the decisions 12 minutes ago, MICMAC said: I could only get a ticket for the main stand that day and it was like watching both goals in slow motion. McNeil shouldn't have been playing and Martin Hardie shouldn't have scored 2 goals from the halfway line. First goal was a header from a corner tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcglynns biggest f**k up was not playing the best 'keeper we've had in my time supporting the club in that game. Before the other stuff obviously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperellon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 After Murray’s concussion today does that mean he is unavailable next week? Are there concussion guidelines? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent reference I can find for an SFA concussion protocol is from 2018, referencing the Sport Scotland guidelines. Those have 6 stages for return, with a minimum of 24 hours at each stage. I'd say he's out next Saturday. https://sportscotland.org.uk/media/o42lsjrt/concussionreport2018.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Aye, absolutely no doubt we shat the bed there. Murray got the team line up all wrong, the tactics wrong and has thrown away the best shot we've had at this level in 15 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much going off memory here, but I'm sure McGurn had been dropped for a few weeks (murmurings that with him being part time, McGlynn wanted the full time keeper?) there was no doubt who was the better keeper in my eyes, but likewise I wasn't surprised when he wasn't starting that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitbaSupporter Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Not convinced that it’s over. United are away to Queen’s Park and Morton while we have three home games in the same period to get us both onto having played the same games.. If they even draw one then it gives us an opportunity to get back on terms. Needs us to be winning at home though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgurn was dropped in the January I think after having a howler against Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It's not over, but it's now out of our hands. We could win all our remaining games and it might not be enough. All we can do is keep the pressure on and hope that Dundee United choke. What can be said is that a failure to match one of their results is almost certainly now fatal. Murray has to take responsibility for that. A reckless way to line up yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgb61 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 14 hours ago, Jilted John said: Not playing a proper defensive midfielder definitely hindered us but it was our inability to cope with high balls into the box that cost us the game today, not the CM situation. He did but chose to play him at CB, again! Corr will never develop into the player we need him to be if IM won't give him game time, he may be young and make mistakes but he knows the position, I actually think he would have done well beside Murray or Watson coaching him through the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperellon Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Our target at the start of the season was probably to reach the play offs after a hugely disappointing league campaign last time. We have done this with matches to spare. Has to be a massive positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably the one bad game I remember him having. He deserved to be cut some slack and given the next game . As for yesterday, was listening on Sportsound and it seems we didn't turn up and played into United's hands. No defensive midfielder was a big mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was technically a friendly against Hibs but I seen nothing from Corr that would have me considering him as a starter ahead of Brown. Caught out of position a few times and gave the ball away cheaply. I was looking for him to get a chance when we were in that poor run of form-no danger Murray will risk putting him in now. More likely to see James Brown play CH and Matthews cover at RB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 44 minutes ago, SerieA said: He’s ahead of Connolly at right mid for me at the moment This is something that doesn't get mentioned, Connolly has been a shadow of the player he was last year. I think he's really suffered from no pre season. What has cost us this season over the course of the games where we dropped points is the defence. We have played something like 18 games with 1 recognised CB and despite Brown doing a great job covering that's exactly what he's been doing covering. We have 2 young CB where I have more of a chance starting a game than they do, a RB who had to be replaced after New Year for whatever reason, both CB have had injury spells and Liam Dick who has been alright for the most part. This was a real area of concern in both the summer and January windows although we did sign Ashcroft eventually. Regardless if we win the league or not then that has to be the 1st, 2nd and 3rd priority on the recruitment wish list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
