dundeeunited83 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Moving Grimshaw out to right back killed us i thought, up until that point we were well on top, docherty was a massive miss for us today, we got bullied when meekison came on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 We really really need a fairly mobile target man as a foil to Watt and Moult. Another RB is needed, I love Sheep to bits but he needs some time out the firing line he looks absolutely shot. Wonder of Stephen O'Donnell is available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I also like Freeman but he was very poor even when Goodwin first came in and dropped Smith which had been overdue for a while. There's been no sign of improvement in the League Cup games and now, playing at lower level, in his short spell today he looked like a clear weakness in our team. He wasn't on the ball defensively and seemed terrified to go forward which is meant to be one of the main advantages of having him on the park. I'd like to see an additional option for RB because right now I don't feel very confident about depending on him should Grimshaw become unavailable for any length of time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O donnell is getting a game for Motherwell Thought we were pretty good for 25 minutes and dominated till Freeman went off. Was happy when he went off as thought Meekison & Grimshaw would be stronger but from that point on we pretty much lost the midfield. I like the back 5 we have when Grimshaw is in but for that we really need Docherty in Midfield. Watt worked away well but was shot by 60 mins. Glass and Fotheringham gave us a much needed boost and both offered a lot more although probably came on 10 mins too late.We were definitely much better from that point. Fotheringham's ability to cut inside and link up opens up a lot of space for Mcmann who I thought was putting the ball in far too early. Would like to have seen him really drive to the byline more and drill it in. There was a lot of nothing balls floated into Moult and Cudjoe who had no chance of doing anything the pace they were coming in at. Grimshaw can easily cover right back but with him there we are short in Midfield if one of Sibbald or Docherty is out playing a 4231 . I like Meekison/Glass/Mochrie but they are all pretty much the same player and would fit much better into a 4141 but Watt doesnt really have the legs to fit into that as one of the middle 2. I want to see the young guys play in this league so not desperate to bring guys in bar cover for Moult possibly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accent-Unknown Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Right Back Michael Smith still hasn't gotten a club since leaving Hearts. He played a decent amount last season so they should still a good player for us despite being 35 next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be kinda hilarious to have punted Liam Smith just to bring in Michael Smith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Moult and Watt don't win you the league alone then something has gone far wrong with the management of the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we shouldn’t bother fielding XI players in future just these two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
