Not sure if that's a Japanese flag or a Remembrance Day Poppy, but getting your battle fever on seems inappropriate either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone that coming up from the Championship to the Premiership means needing to bring in a few more players. Connolly is not good enough at this level, Mellon and the board need to acknowledge this. Neilson May be a star in the making but he was poor defensively today. Our formation at away games has worked up to today but Clark then Appere where left isolated far too often during the game. I don’t see us getting anything from next week’s game but even then it’s not a bad start to our first season back. We need to strengthen in a couple of areas and the manager must be willing to make more use of the subbies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never made full use of the five subs your now allowed in any game. And to only use two yesterday seemed just plain daft.

RandomGuy. Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think you're in a similar position to us. New manager + extended transfer window = players at the club getting a chance to prove themselves before major signings are made. Sounds like we've maybe decided that this International break was the "deadline" for players to make an impact and now signings will be made. Might be the same for you lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I hope there is a bit of that to our plan for this season and beyond. I don’t mind Mellon and the club giving the current group some games prove themselves, they deserve that opportunity given last season and the change of manager. Some have shown improvement and a few look like they can be of use in this league but we are desperately needing some real difference makers in this team. Yesterday was a performance that may have yielded a more positive result if we had a quality wide player, a genuine playmaker and/or a proper finisher on the field. We just seem quite naive on the ball at times and there are not really any players we can rely on for giving us a cutting edge. Having a chunk of the ball and generally getting into reasonable areas is something we have shown in these past few weeks and the players are definitely working their socks off, but we absolutely need reinforcements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's an element of truth to that. What yesterday did show is that if our players let the standards drop, even slightly, then we are really not a good team at this level. The manager has done almost everything right up to yesterday, so time will tell, but what is important is how the players and the manager react to this. If anyone was under any illusions about how difficult this season will be, they shouldn't be now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm wrong but think Chalmers' inclusion might be partly down to free kicks and corners. I don't like criticising the younger players, but I've seen very little from him to explain any other reason for it. By and large I think I'd be right in saying that every corner and free kick this season has been taken by either Pawlett or Chamlers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Very strong chance that Finnish laddy will be joining in the next couple of weeks I've heard. Not so sure Pav is gonna join now, as confirmed by Scott Burns that's a big bridge to cross in terms of wages and possible fee to his current club. Really hope the club cool off on Norwood and get a less crocked younger player in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reports he was Ipswich's biggest threat, but also quite vocally fiery. I'm doubting he'll be coming to Tannadice, and agree that a loan of a match fit player would be more sensible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 As people have said, hope Mellons been using the first few weeks to give everyone a chance and see exactly what we need.I would be happy if we brought in another centre half (although I dont think he will prioritise it given Edwards signed), a central midfielder and another striker. The last is a priority, especially if Shankland goes.Hopefully hes also learnt that Clark can not play up front on his own. Have no issue with him up top and Appere off him but doesn't look like Mellon is too much of a fan of 2 banks of 4 behind them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday shows that our squad isn't good enough really. We were punished for making mistakes and not being as ruthless as we need to be at this level. Shankland may well help but if we don't get the ball to him then having Messi wouldn't make a difference up there. If this Finnish bloke is any good then great but we still really need to have someone in the middle of the park bringing the likes of him and Bolton into play. Im assuming Mellon is still getting to know our squads weaknesses and hope this is just him trying everybody out to see who needs replaced. Im also hoping thats why Glass and Mochrie aren't playing - he knows they're prospects and will be here long term so working out the rest of the "not good enoughs" to shunt them on. We'll see I suppose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
