If your season is defined by, we’ve not conceded many goals, it is the very definition of unspectacular. Dundee United have the biggest budget in the league and arguably the best squad and are top by one point after 21 games. They show no signs of chucking it away. I would call the campaign so far competent, routine, professional. I wouldn’t call it spectacular. Plus 33 goal difference after half a season not pretty spectacular? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Actually looking forward to this. Always interesting to see a manager's first home game. (David Hopkin excluded). It can't be worse than the previous meeting at Somerset back in August last year. Chalmers is a definitive miss for this. Reckon it'll be Mckenzie up front with Dowds and a start for Amartey.

From what I've seen of McGeady you can see some glimpses of the player he was, now though the legs have clearly gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 McGeady should only really start if he's playing as a number 10 but even then he's too slow in his current age he's best as a 20 minute sub 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stood back and stared as he trotted forward unchallenged and pinged one in the pokey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecocme Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 10 hours ago, skinny arab said: Time for Goodwin to start dropping players who arent performing but I doubt it will happen and lets also try going with 2 strikers and trying to win the game but again doubt this will happen. Walton Grimshaw Graham Holt McMann Fotheringham Docherty Sibbald Wotherspoon Moult Greive Watt and Middleton benched That’s some midfield to be fair! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippyminton Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 No affiliation (apart from my wee house being only 21 miles from Somerset Park) - but I'm 100% rooting for Ayr, and I genuinely hope that Mr. Broon's start is a tremendous one. Reason #1 = South Ayrshire already has quite enough seaside of its own, and Reason #2 = Jim Goodwin's post-match interview after we'd put the Arabs to a 3-2 swording at Tannadice a few weeks back. It's the single most salty-teared coiffured cringe-fest I ever saw. Blaming absolutely everyone and everything apart from himself and his team, including trotting out the obligatory defeated-manager 'Morton play a certain way' hammer-throwing shite. It ranks as the #1 disingenuous 'bad loser' interview of all time. His team deserves to be trousered just for that. Mon the Honest Men. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand to be educated. In case you were referring to "Fortress" rather than 'Fortress' - then don't bother. I quoted the OP verbatim and uncorrected as you may have noticed - so it's him you should be having a pop at, not me. I fully understand the difference between quotation marks and inverted commas, but thanks very much. for your concern. And thankyou anyway for your generous attempt at my grammatical education. "Much Appreciated" Feeling a wee bit foolish now, are you? Edited January 31 by Chippyminton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
