GuyIncognito Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 No Chalmers for this one will be a miss for us. Will hopefully see a new midfielder in for the game and Amartey back in for McKensie. No reason why we couldn't get a result here but think it's unlikely.

No_Problemo Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) If McKenzie plays over Amartey then I might just stay in the hub. Musonda over McGinty, other than that same team as above!

diegomarahenry Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Dundee United have had a fairly unspectacular start to the Championship, Ayr have had less so. This will either be a pummelling where Ayr are 3-4 goals down at half time and could be double that and we’ll score twice in the second half before Bullen speaks of the teams character, Or Ayr will win 1-0, like the Inverness game, take the lead and drag the game in to a non-event. No Murphy, Murdoch, Dempsey or Chalmers, all players you would want in the team but will likely bypass the midfield anyway and give Bryden and the ball a concussion come 16:45 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Amartey and McGeady both start anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Albinson McAllister Stanger McGinty Reading Pendleury Tomlinson Smith Amartey Rose McGeady Tomlinson has a fair bit of running in him so let Smith and Pendlebury play the deeper role and give Tomlinson some freedom to get up the pitch. I doubt we will have another midfielder in by then. 442 won't work without Murphy or Chalmers and unsure how Smith/Pendlebury combo would fair. Only other 3 midfield option is McAllister which I can't see happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Third league game of the season and we are already plagued with injuries. If we play Grimshaw at RB we will have a very weakened midfield, if we play Freeman at RB I can see Ayr running riot down their left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was the Dundee United manager and those were my choices I'd be playing Grimshaw at right back given Ayr United's starting central midfielders are both injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play a midfield five, we have our first choice four of them injured or ineligible to play so Goodwin should be okay for another week.

mishtergrolsch Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I'll get on the phone to Jim. Got a pair of boots, was a very solid right back before I knackered my knee and my late 30s kicked in. Could still do a job blootering f**k out of anyone that came within 3 feet of me though. Did have a good cross back in the day but f**k going over the half way line to have to track back. Could even double as the Lee Wilkie immobile Centre Forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 We can only hope that luck is with us as it's certainly not been with our midfield so far. Will be nice to have an away support to shout at while they point and laugh at our north terrace diggers. There's a thought - not had many construction porn pics of late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, he's still as injury prone then. Fantastic player who could play in the premiership but i think his injury record could deny him that opportunity sadly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 With Freeman, Sibbald and Docherty all out for Saturday then you’d expect Grimshaw and Meekison to take 2 of the 3 positions, just a question of Grimshaw at RB or centre mid. So then looking at Denham or Bisland at RB OR Mochrie, Glass or Moore in centre mid…. Unless we completely change our formation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d far rather we shuffled the pack and stuck with the existing formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
