Match Thread Dundee United V Aberdeen (0 - 1)

[Abramdon]

This is the first of six tough games. The first five against teams fighting to avoid relegation and the last against our rivals for second spot. All the teams in the bottom half could end up in the relegation play off. I expect Kilmarnock to finish in last place. If we lose to United and Fartz win their home games against ICT and Patrick the gap will be down to three points. United are on a roll and although we are clearly the better team they won't be easy to beat.

I'd go for the same line up as last time but drop Pawlett and give one of the young lads a chance to show what they can do.

[RUL]

Although they have picked up slightly, would still expect us to win.

[Dynamo]

Wouldn't be surprised if we got beat.

[Ingolfsson]

Taylor needs dropped. His recent performances remind me of Zander Diamond at his worst. Comical errors and deep struggles with achieving a basic connection on a football. Considine and Reynolds would not fill me with much confidence either though.

 

Need something from McLean. No goal since Hamilton away in November. Three league goals all season for an attacking midfielder who's played almost every match - not great.

 

Hayes and Rooney injuries have killed any title hope in my view. United will be massively up for us. Not sure what crowd we'll take but would be surprised if we sell out our allocation given it's midweek and the last two results.

So drop our first choice keeper and lose anyway?

 

Idiot.

[Reed or deed]

Odds against us for this one i'd say.

 

United are on a bit of form .

 

Without Rooney , Hayes , Taylor and Reynolds struggling. Mcginn anonymous , Ryan Jack playing . Oh tae fuck.

7-1 Aberdeen. Shay Logan to get 4

Not really.

[The Oxford Don]

Going, but confidence has plummeted since the Inverness game.

 

2-1 Arabs, predicting another defensive comedy show.

Good price for the draw.

Idiot.

 

I don't think Brown is a good enough long-term option. Should give Collin a chance to prove he is worth a permanent move. Ideally would have brought Rogers back early.

[RUL]

Brown hasn't really done anything to deserve being dropped but it's been a total waste for collin to come to us and sit on the bench instead of sit on the bench at Rotherham.

[ollie1903]

In for this. I think we will win comfortably.

[Dynamo]

Are there any minutes applause's planned?

Forget the game management, safety first stuff and lets just go out to score goals and see what happens.

 

We ain't challenging for the league anyway.

Very harsh on Considine, out of the three with him, Reynolds and Taylor he's the one who's playing the best (by far).

 

Time a few of the duds were dropped. Taylor playing shit. Jack - we're better without him. Pawlett, just gash.

Not saying the replacements are world beaters but a kick up the arse is required for a few.

Considine and Reynolds are horrible together

 

Which sadly makes Taylor just about unstoppable

(Edit, unfortunately that should say undroppable!)

 

Should have kept Quinn!!!

This.

 

Cannot stand when McInnes goes on about managing the game. He felt we were doing well at 'managing' the game on Saturday. Best way to manage it is to score another and put the game out of sight.

[Redforever86]

I think with Hayes and Rooney out we need to try playing through the middle more. Dundee Utd also seem to have added more height to the team recently.

United have a lot of presence in the midfield but are weak as shit at the back. 4-3-3 for this one

 

[Ingolfsson]

For Dandies outside UK, you can get the game as a one-off for 8 quid from United's equivalent of RedTV.

Why line their pockets when you can get it on redtv?

Is it on redtv? Away games are usually only on if its being televised by Sky or BT, which it isn't.

This is the shape we should be playing, McLean much more effective from deep (as we saw again on Saturday).

[ebbe]

McLean isn't more effective from deep, he's just a shit hot footballer. He'd look the part where ever you played him with the exception of goalkeeper. I prefer him off a striker(s).
