Deeboy Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Still more than Dundee got against St Johnstone last Friday. We got three points though. Nae luck, Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 We have been relatively decent away from home under McGhee, so I guess it shouldn't be that surprising that we did well last night - but given the way we've been defending recently, I just couldn't see where a win was coming from. It turns out that Utd defend even worse than us - the first goal aside which was a great free kick, the other two were the type of gift wrapped goals we've been giving away for weeks. I guess this week sums up the difficulties Utd had (past tense as they are surely down now) in closing the gap - both of the teams that were 2nd bottom have won in the past few days and actually increased the gap. There would need to be one team in the league in utter freefall and up until now, it hasn't happened. I saw on Twitter earlier that when Mixu took over, Utd were only a point from the play-off place, which I honestly hadn't realised - so it's difficult to view his appointment as anything other than a disaster for the Utd board. Despite the valid criticisms of our manager, it still looks like we dodged a bullet (and to be honest, I'd have been happy if we got Mixu at the time). On the subject of our manager - a very good night at the office for him and he deserves a lot of praise after the pelters he's rightly taken recently.

Desp Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Remember when Mixu was one of the favourites for the Motherwell job when it was available? Bullet dodged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 He's not good enough. That amateur fresh air effort in the second half being a case in point. I'd still have in the team because he runs about, which is about all we can ask for these days, but you're kidding yourself if you think he's anything other than a lower league player. Might do a job for us if we do a Dunfermline.Murray wasn't great last night. But there were way worse moments from near enough every other player out there in Tangerine last night, pish poor all round.Eta: wtf has happened to Billy McKay!!

professor challenger Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Having watched the highlights there were a few occasions when Erskine might have made all the difference. Shame your manager's in the huff with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Perhaps its just from watching the highlights, our formation looks absolutely bizarre. Johnson and Cadden appearing on either side, then through the middle, centre-halfs running away from players because they're stepping out. I mean, I don't care because we won, but it certainly looks odd. Anyone there able to enlighten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 6-1 United. Convincing win for Well, MJC will be gutted.He'll have already moved onto our next match thread making scarily accurate predictions like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crilly Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 United had plenty of possession and can't be faulted for their work ethic and competitiveness but a lack of quality let them down. Both sides could have scored more. Thought McManus and MacDonald were excellent last night. Lets keep this going now with another trip to Tayside at the weekend.

I mean, I don't care because we won, but it certainly looks odd. Anyone there able to enlighten? 3-4-1-2 With Faddy behind McDonald and Moult, Johnson and Cadden playing as wing backs. The players looked really confused for the most part and the marking was all over the shop, but the sides sort of cancelled each other out on the whole so tactically it payed off. Think we went 4-4-2 when Law came on, can't really remember though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Not real football fans, IMO. Those are the times you stay to the end and have a reflective few moments of the horror you've witnessed. It's also good for your soul to get all your aggression out, which you can freely do in a football stadium. Which is nice. Thank you. I walked out last night. Not something I'm prone to do, but the failure of the management team and players last night deserved that walkout. Gutless, tactically inept and without any urgency. The fans have stuck by the team pretty well by and large, but that last night was humiliating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was difficult to tell from the highlights if we were doing something interesting tactically, or whether we were just taking a punt. On a side-note, I fucking love how much Cadden celebrates everything. Good c**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 On a side-note, I fucking love how much Cadden celebrates everything. Good c**t. I've noticed this too - he's also looking increasingly comfortable in the first team - looks a great prospect which begs the question why he wasn't involved before now.....

Tamdunk Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I've seen Cadden in both the dundee games and he's been decent, no worldbeater, but solid enough. Nice goal against the dees too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I walked out last night. Not something I'm prone to do, but the failure of the management team and players last night deserved that walkout. Gutless, tactically inept and without any urgency. The fans have stuck by the team pretty well by and large, but that last night was humiliating. I left after the second goal and will make no apologies for it. Though I'm far more angry at the manager than the players. This raises the bigger issue that has been discussed on various threads before; how does a fan go about registering his/her displeasure with a situation? There are very few options in truth; I'd rather walk out than stand around booing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
