Disappointing that he lasted less than a year but hopefully a process is now in place where he can be replaced reasonably easily

Just watched the highlights to see if it was as bad as I thought.... it was. They had runners all first half and nobody picked them up. Not that it would change the result, I'd question if the throw in leading to the Walton drop was a foul throw. Walt9n for as good as hes been this season had a clanger. Hope he picks up. Ferry got skinned for one of the goals and just gives up running.

Var worked! Good for the league getting it right for once.

Adeboyega should never have put his hands on murray - we all know what hes like. Any excuse to fall down
At the 4th, it's a pointless push. He is going wide and Walton has a chance to save.

For me. The difference for me is we need our players to be more like Goodwin was as a player. They were all very nice whereas dundee were tugging holding down. Elbowing and being generally dirty bastards. I hate to say it but we need somebody like murray to orchestrate the chuntyness.

Yeah, think it's a well written statement, highlighting issues and don't think it's driven by killie but more a succession of issues. Certainly shows more class than the zombies var statements

I’m really hoping that there is a bigger picture going on within the recruiting department than signing loan players to replace the loan players that could have been recalled as a top 3 finish would be great but we need to make sure we are a premier league team.

I'm hoping this is the case. We were heavily linked with campbell in the summer - now he's here - maybe there's things in the background.  Goodwin also said last year that summer deals are being looked at, at this time of year - so perhaps he is getting through until he picks up some class players in summer?

 

Gutted the young lad is gone.

I only ever saw him get 45 minutes at brechin but I want to see our young talent stay with the club and make a name for themselves.

Tbh I don't blame united entirely here. They get players who's heads are turned by the cash and risk letting them go for free....the system though is completely broken. (Or scottish football is compared to our neighbours.)

The compensation for players is a pittance. The costs associated with taking them from young players to a level where championship teams want them is hugely high. Figure also all the players who fall by the wayside need to be covered too.

For norwich, there's almost 0 risk to taking our best prospects.

It almost gets to the point of why should united and other clubs in a similar position spend years of time and 100s of thousands to see them walk. Away.

As an aside it might be slightly more palatable if the system was scalable and we could look at teams in the lower scottish leagues but it's simply not there

Morrison has done well enough to have English championship interest. Teams that could pay 3 or 4x what we could.
Plus Falkirk to UTD is hardly a big jump for him.

 
I read that Killie are very interested in him.

He is a decent player but Falkirk but not a championship player.

 
Perth saints want him too i read.

With the greatest of respect to those teams, I think we would be a financially better option than killie saintees and falkirk. Also believe more teams down south would look at a united player than a st johnstone player.

Cant see us splashing any cash though. Would be a freebie i think
 

Bizarre to suggest his contract should be terminated.

I' gutted for the team and gutted for doch himself. We miss him when he's not in the team. He controls games and we play better around him. Also - he's a fantastic professional - i think if we are going to have a squad half full of loanees, we will need players to get them to play our way and fit into our culture.

Whether we offer him a new contract or not, I don't know. By all accounts, this is his worst period of injury in his career

He's not signed for anybody as far as I'm aware, thus why I was a bit confused.

Shame rhough - he'd have been a good signing for a year

I'd stick with manny. He's had 1 or 2 blunders but probably less that Gallagher tbh. Also adds legs in a defence - neither Gallagher or holt (surely undrinkable just now) . If it's a back 3, I say he takes his place before graham.

Simon Murray is a wee rat - but to be fair to him both adeboyega and Walton were giving him shit before the pen.... so fairs fair. Still happy to see his gutted wee face though.

Delighted with the result. 2nd half was great. Such a battling display...but cool calm and collected throughout

Wtf was holt doing on the left wing though 🤣

Absolutely love the team jim Goodwin has built

Is it too early to start dreaming of Europe?

Well played united.  Wasn't working but changed it up and got the win.

Not to get ahead of ourselves but only 6 points behind a dons side who are really struggling and play them this week.

Unthinkable at the start of the season that we'd even be close to 3rd.

Not a bad time to be a united fan. Incredible job considering the budgets

Nobody likes seeing the bus parked buuuuut we aren't battling against celtic in the season...we are battling the likes of motherwell and St mirren...and they both took 3 nil losses. A 'bonus' point for us could make all the difference for chasing top 6/euro places
