Love your optimism. Sadly we were right royaly pumped and 2nd best all over the park. If we get a point over the next 2 games I'll be pleasantly surprised 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 United were dancing through our midfield and tormenting our defence. As others have mentioned - we need a left back and a strong, battling midfielder - someone who can stamp their authority in midfield. United were too fast and too good - they will win the league, but thats no excuse for allowing them to dominate midfield. Hopefully thats our heaviest defeat and worst performance out of the way - would expect at least one more signing and a couple of loan players to strengthen the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 It was very bold going 4-4-2 but we got absolutely pumped in that first half. Slater and Balde won’t have a harder 45 minutes than that in their entire career Utter pish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLichtie86 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Too tired to air my thoughts in greater detail. But by f**k that was bad. Dick setup that team as naïve as he possibly could. Utter madness. No LB or DM. An unfit CB. A formation that was asking for trouble. All blame lands on him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 No matter how well we played tonight we were always up against it, same goes for the next 2 games, but it’s been a long time since I was so pissed off at a performance. Fully expected to not win that, but we made them look like Rangers or Celtic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b ross Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Naive tonight. Wrong selection, wrong starting 11. We all know we’re short in a few areas, no doubt the club have been trying hard to fix this. Will be interesting to see how we fare against other sides and if DUFC railroad more teams than us. Not worried…… for now! No point losing the head at the minute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Simply can't give easy goals away like we did tonight against anybody. Balde and Slater just didn't perform. Had to change that after 15-20 minutes and not wait until halftime. Probably wouldn't have changed the result but had to do something. That said Utd looked much better than any team in the league the last couple of seasons but very early days. First quarter of the season before we will really know what the story is in the league. One to forget though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worried…… for now! No point losing the head at the minute. I agree with you to a point. If we had had a moderate season last season and a decent enough pre-season and league cup then I wouldn’t be worried in the slightest. Yes we hoped for better but it’s been on the cards and tonight was entirely predictable . The Montrose win papered over some pretty huge and very obvious cracks, and the inability to beat Cowdenbeath, being pumped by Forfar and St Mirren, and out played by Brechin and Montrose (ok it wasn’t a “Proper” game) have all been part of a trend. Prepared to accept that United might just do that to everyone this season and that we’ll be fine but, based on what I’ve seen so far, any team with a passing game, and a bit of pace and physicality will destroy us - hope I’m wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think his comment was aimed at you, just a general comment about some fans booing. While I think booing your team off the park for whatever reason isn’t great (although I’m sure it was probably aimed at the management), there is a section of fans of every team on the planet that would do the same. Jesus, I’ve seen fans boo off their team at 0-0 at half time. Edited August 4, 2023 by Tattie36 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, not getting overly exercised when things aren’t going to plan. Very proud of my wee club! Edited August 4, 2023 by b ross 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
