Granny Danger Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Very important win today with the Ayr and ICT results, not that I’m disappointed with the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 A fantastic result today. Sounds like we picked up a few additional knocks, hopefully we can either clear one or two up or get a bit of transfer activity over the next few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Think it will be a busier window than most we're maybe expecting now with Connolly out, Butcher is a massive blow but apparently he's suspended next week (I've seen conflicting reports on this now) so bit of recovery time at least for him. Alongside Harkes and McMullan that's 4 first team players injured. Never a good situation to have a third of your first team out of action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppola Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Starting to look a fairly difficult trip to Partick next week given we have no midfielders but beyond that the fixture list looks pretty kind leading up to Inverness at home on the 21st Feb. Should really be looking to get this put to bed in the next half a dozen games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Connolly just had cramp. Stanton, McMullan and Pawlett all expected to be available for Thistle game, plus a new signing expected by then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie on Sportsound saying that Connolly was just cramp but he couldn't continue. Also said we are bringing someone in, but then they cut off the interview instead of following up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 If this American on trial is even half decent then maybe a six month deal will give us an extra body there, then maybe one or two loan deals. We are in a weird position in that we need cover and support to see us through the next couple of months but I wouldn't be wanting us to bring anyone in and offering them more than just a short deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this in general, but I wouldn't be against a long term deal for someone who would improve the team. I accept this would probably only apply if we were paying a fee to guarantee getting someone now if they would be out of contract in the summer. And to be honest, I'm not really in favour of that unless it's a real upgrade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest, I'm not really in favour of that unless it's a real upgrade It is a difficult time of the year to get genuine quality, unless we maybe have a chance to bring someone in from a league that has finished during our mid-season (the MLS being one). In theory we should be able to grind our way through most of the remaining games with our current group and still win the league (injuries being kind) but we would all feel much more reassured if we can add a few bodies to the squad to make it more comfortable. I think it was mentioned either here or on another thread that United would be quite an attractive prospect for clubs looking to loan out one or two highly rated players. A chance to play at a club with good crowds, challenging for a title (and being in control), it could be a great environment and an 'easy' choice to send someone to Tannadice for six months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying Johnny Russell permanent and a couple of Ajax defenders on loan. Teckle. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 A league lead tonight which seemed unthinkable following our last visit to Dumfries, after which some, including me, doubted Neilson had the ability to achieve. But resting Reynolds and not playing boys out of position as before has brought improvement, and well done to one of two United Mark Connolly's on his first goal for the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaspianChris Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Robbie apparently mentioned on radio after the game he hopes to have a new face in the squad before the Partick Thistle game. I wonder if it could be Dillon Powers who has been on trial recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when he’s ‘fit’ Neilson changes the formation to suit him. That said Neilson, once again, seems to have dropped the 4-4-2 formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
