I'm struggling to handle getting horsed at home by fucking St Mirren as an acceptable part of that journey. Last night was unacceptable, and if it had been in normal circumstances, I'd have been heading down to the GF Lower to start booing. In fact, the club need to provide some sort of virtual booing section if that sort of shite is going to continue. Its innovation like this we need at the moment. Get the booing pumped through the PA system at Tannadice and let the players have the real Tannadice experience. Should help the mental health of our long suffering fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torfason Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Interesting to see you guys mention Livi as a lot of our fans do that as well but they are just an absolute exception to the rule. I have no idea how they do it but they get a performance that is far beyond the sum of their parts. Livi fans might argue otherwise but average players go there and become bloody exceptional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're one of the only teams in Scotland to use almost fully data based recruitment. We have an extensive database of targets and use that to find like for like (or better) replacements. Players that seem average come to us, despite putting in phenomenal numbers under the radar. Things like xG, % of shots allowed from area of influence, % of aerial duels won and interception stats factor heavily. As far as I know Brentford down south are big on the same thing. For us it started in League 1 when Martindale took up Head of Recruitment, possibly due to not having many connections in the game and having to rely on stats only. I know @TheGersReport on Twitter advised us on a few signings back in League 1, namely Lithgow who despite playing in League 1 with Airdrie, Clyde etc was putting up Premiership standard levels/numbers. Scott Robinson another one that showed scary numbers at East Fife - both incidentally players with baggage and got a second chance at Livi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s hardly played at all, but when he has he’s not looked good enough (even in the championship). Was a strange decision to hand him a 3 year deal. He must have showed promise at some point as Swansea paid a fee to sign him from Hearts when he was pretty young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they just took a punt on a boy that looked semi competent, realised he wasn't going to make it and punted him. Like the vast majority of young players these days unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellon is the manager of the club, which he's trying to keep in the division, but his tactics aren't suiting Shankland, as it's not really his game to be looking for the ball inside his own half, as an example. It's probably fair to say Mellon isn't playing to Shankland's strengths, due to weaknesses in the overall squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I don't think it's fair to comment on King. We haven't seen enough of him. On the other hand, we've seen plenty of the guys who consistently get picked ahead of him, so if you want to make a judgement from that, I'm not going to stop you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 According to the ever excellent Arab Archive website, he has made two starts (one of which was in the Irn Bru Cup) and nine substitute appearances in near enough two years. https://www.arabarchive.co.uk/player.php?id=1960 What a strange, pointless signing he was. A three year deal as well. Yikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Benji, Butcher and Fuchs fit for the game. Im a bit more optimistic. I see a well earned 2 goal defeat now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
