Never rated him at Dens but he got a strange amount of plaudits due to who he was replacing (despite not being half as good). Distribution was terrible, hugged his line and always looked suspect/nervous. I thought he did alright with us. Id have him over hamilton and regardless id feel better off knowing he was in our goal. I still a fear of this season coming with hamilton in goal. Ferrie may be good? However youngsters don't seem to be given a real chance ( friendlies aside ) f**k knows, find out where we are against Hearts. With signings like Adam don't see why we can't win this league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats are shite IMO. No it wouldn't, unless the person collecting the stats is a moron. 28 minutes ago, Mr. Alli said: hugged his line I've moaned about this all season but get pelters for it. If a balls played over the top of the defence he doesnt move out his 6 yard box until the balls in the box. Puts the whole defence into panic mode over simple balls. 23 minutes ago, Yenitit said: Anything low and to either side of him and he’s not saving it. Aye feels this way. The goal this weekend was embarrassing for him to concede and hopefully spells the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 1st paragraph is why we won’t win the league even if we sign a goal scorer and another wide player. Get lucky with a new goalkeeper and you never know. Obviously it was only a friendly yesterday but McPake brought on a 17 year old attacking midfielder (Mulligan) and played him centrehalf he played Cameron out of position in a televised game at the age of 16 putting him under real pressure and hanging him out to dry. He’s got to be careful not to destroy these kids confidence. Mulligan was good on the ball the few times he got it yesterday. We finished the game with at least 4 players playing out of position I know it’s a friendly and getting ‘minutes under the belt’ but wtf that’s a shambles.

Derry Alli Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Not for a minute am I saying McPake knows what he is doing or is trying to emulate them but.. The Dutch set up play players 'out of position' all through the youth set up in the hope that they learn the game better and understand what is required both on and off the ball of each other. Probably helps when suspensions etc kick in too. Edit : Jeebsy started off as a CH. Edited September 20, 2020 by Mr. Alli 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Lol, just noticed that York9's president, Angus Mcnab, lists himself as a Dundee fan on twitter. I wonder if the Hamilton loan is basically a free hit for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, took a look at their squad and they also have former Morton CH, Luca Gasparotto. Was he not half decent?

After me slaughtering stat men everywhere yesterday it appears Angus was quite high up in Opta and is some sort of analytics ‘expert’ over in North America He looks like he could be a good contact in North America for the club.

There's a difference between playing centre half, and being one of three centre backs with the freedom to start attacks by carrying the ball forward into midfield. Mulligan looks like he's got the physique to cope at centre back. It will be interesting to see whether he can learn to play that role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
