JeanieD Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 If recent televised games are anything to go by it could be a turgid watch - having said that a dire 0-0 will represent a considerable improvement on the result at Firhill.

Fair to say our recent history in televised games has been far from turgid. We might just win this this. If we do.....DU and Goodwin could crumble. Let's hope so.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Looks like the weather will be OK tomorrow night. Even for the time of year our last three games have been played under dreadful conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Dundee Utd are there for the taking at the moment. Whether we do is an altogether different matter though. Win this and we are in the mix which could be important for any prospective signings deciding on teams. ps is this on council tv tonight or just been moved because festive season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Going to stick my neck out and forecast 2-1 for the Jags. McInroy & Fitzy to score, and one stray dog makes it onto the pitch. Edited December 29, 2023 by sandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledjag Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 I may well be wrong with this comment but has Dundee United's stuttering run not coincided with Docherty's absence from the team? Is he out due to injury or suspension or both? As far as tonight's game is concerned its really a must win for us. I live in hope that we will win, we certainly have the players who can hurt United, but we must play for 90 mins! When was the last time.within did this? I can't say I an confident about our chances and notwithstanding our much debated need for a defensive midfielder I also think we need a strong central defender. I am not particularly convinced of the Sneddon, Muirhead, Neilson triangle in the centre and see Muirhead in particular as the most vulnerable. If ever anybody is missing Holt it's Muirhead! Let's hope that Dundee Utd's lack of form and our strengths, of which there are many, can outweigh our weaknesses and we can look forward to 90+ mins of a full-on Jags performance. C'mon the Jags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 After the Inverness home game I just can't pick my midfield 3. Midfield is just not clicking and I can't decide what my favoured 3 are after seeing a variety of combos. CF, RB & RW, LB & LW all pick themselves and are ones we can depend on. The rest I just don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great spot, but club have since tweeted that he's got a knock. (Could be one of those "don't get me injured, I'm about to sign for someone" knocks, right enough!)

It’s hardly a must win as whatever happens we will be very much still in 3rd place. Of course a win would be wonderful. Just arrived and parked near Tannadice. Passed through an area called Coldside which seems to be well named! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course a win would be wonderful. Just arrived and parked near Tannadice. Passed through an area called Coldside which seems to be well named! Finishing 3rd or 4th in the play-off places is no great reward under the present system which is heavily loaded in favour of whichever SPL team takes part in the play-off final. We need to finish at worst in second place to have any chance of winning promotion. To do that we need to get closer to RR & DU and stay in touch with them in the hope that they both have poor runs like the one DU are in at the moment! So to make the Championship a 3 horse race all our games fall into the 'must win' category until we are well and truly in the mix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb1876 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Thistle are standing off and miles behind every pass, maybe we've been told to let them play around us without any challenges or, could it be that our set up is all wrong? Doolan needs to change the shape asap! Edited December 29, 2023 by sb1876 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillresigned Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Not looking good apart from being unable to defend or attack properly, we seem unable to string more than two or three passes together. In short we look completely out of our depth tonight and it’ll take a fair bit of work to get us back In this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
