Walton was fine as well but don’t think anyone else gets pass marks. Subs didn’t do anything either really. Desperately need our forward players to find some form. Also, our corners are brutal - really need to sort this seeing as we get about 15 a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Sibbald was head and shoulders above everyone else on the park. Holt and McMann also very good. Kai, Watt and Middleton all quite flat but credit to Dunfermline for defending well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I agree with a few on here regarding Rodd Graham being our best player today, posting to add Kai Fotheringham is wasted as a winger, to me he's a striker, and if Wotherspoon had to play today, put him wide, or bring him on for the ineffectual Middleton (today) later on. Goodwin knows better, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play wide but if the service isn't there it's a bit of a waste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For such a successful business career how do these people manage to lose so much money when it comes to “soccer”? The Covid season losses were understandable as most clubs at our lever suffered badly but this just seems a bit of a car crash. Guys like Tony Watt and Declan Gallagher will be on significant wages - arguably earning more than most top flight diddy clubs. I believe St Mirren are due a fee for Declan if United get promoted. Rivalry aside - I’d hate to see United supporters suffer due to financial difficulties caused by the running of the club. Football clubs are businesses but they are kinda unlike other businesses. People involved in football clubs make decisions that they wouldn’t ordinarily make in their day to day businesses. On 10/01/2024 at 08:23, Molotov said: Is there any governance at the SPFL to stop another club getting into financial difficulties? We have a long list of clubs in Scotland going into administration or liquidation but we never seem to stop these owners from continuing to create these situations that affects so many people attached to the clubs involved - players, staff, creditors, the supporters and the wider community. Do the current rules around points deductions or transfer embargoes only come into place once an administration occurs? It just seems to me that’s often too late. It’s in the same in the lower leagues. I would say the majority of the clubs in the lower leagues are pretty unsustainable and rely on individuals putting money in. However, there is no FFP in the lower leagues. I think there would be an unofficial percentage for playing costs to turnover but I don’t think it’s ever enforced. I would think the championship clubs would all be ok as the attendances and prize money are decent (Dundee Utd perhaps not due to their large cost base). League 1 & 2 clubs I would question how sustainable they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGMilne Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Fotheringham is a good player, but he shouldn't be undroppable. I'd like to see Cudjoe - who some supporters appear to have lost faith with purely because he's been out of sight and therefore out of mind for a while - given a shot again, or even Wotherspoon out at wide right and two up front in the next game. Dunfermline - like a few other teams this season - quite rightly turned up to defend well and maybe hit us on the break, and while we have better players, those players don't seem to have the ability to break that type of tactic down. It's why I think we're better away from home; on their own patch teams actually try to win games. Having said that, we still had the chances to win the game, so that combined with Raith self destructing, means I'm fair confident going in to this half of the season. For transfer deadline day, I'm not really sure what I want us to bring in. The obvious thing to say would be a central defender, but he'd be 4th pick so who are we going to get on those terms? We've now got three strikers, 17 million attacking midfielders, three central midfielders (four if you include Grimshaw) but maybe only 1 good choice each side at fullback? I suppose it all comes down to availability. If we're offered someone who can make a genuine difference to the first XI then we should take him, otherwise, why bring in someone for the sake of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Grieve and Wotherspoon aren't any better than what we have, they have just increased our options. If there is someone available who would improve our team though, they are most likely going to go to a better team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Strange to think if we win our next two games we'll be seven points clear. Sounds easy when you put it like that, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
