Excellent hard fought point.

Svelje has become a really important player for us.

 
He hasn't half, another great performance today.

 
I think there’s an argument that he’s now our best player.  Outstanding.

Great 3 points if not a great performance.

3 centre backs defended very well throughout and Walton had very little to do (apart from smash the boy!).

One thing that struck me today was how good our loan signings have been.  All 4 have contributed massively - Walton, Adeboyega, Stephenson and Dalby.  Will be sorry to see them leave at the end of the season and think they’ll all go on to have very good careers.  Fair play to Goodwin and his recruitment guy for bringing them in though, to get 4/4 successes on loan is a tremendous hit rate when you consider some of the dross we’ve had from down south on loan previously!!

Also, is Sevelj and Stephenson now our best pairing in midfield?  Will Sibbald and Docherty be back up once they’re fit?  I think that may be the case, Sevelj been fantastic these last 3 games and with Strain playing well at RWB you have to find room for Stephenson in the team somewhere.

Which of this summer’s signings has impressed you the most?

and

Which current youngster do you think has the biggest future in the game?

Any word on injuries to Gallagher and Trapanovski?


Listening to the dode fox podcast this morning they were saying Trapanovski was holding his hamstring in the warm up before the game….

FC Midtjylland's owner, Anders Holch Povlsen, is looking at a new club for the collaboration, which already includes several clubs in addition to the Danish champions.

After FC Midtjylland extremely disappointingly missed the medal playoffs in the spring of 2023, the club has certainly turned up the volume with player purchases and facilities.

In May this year, it threw off a championship after a dramatic final spurt with Brøndby IF, FC Copenhagen and FC Nordsjælland.

And the ambitions and courage for more are at their peak, even though the defending Danish champions could report a deficit of DKK 85 million before tax during the international break.

Because after two years of massive player acquisitions, a new training facility and an expansion of the stadium with a new VIP lounge and fan zone, FCM owner Anders Holch Povlsen and his people through The Football Collective, the company that owns FCM and Mafra, have according to Tipsbladet's information been looking at a new club.

Thus, FC Midtjylland's owner and his people have investigated the possibility of buying into the Scottish club Dundee United and, among other things, checked what it takes legally and practically to buy into the Scottish traditional club.

The club is in the top half of Scotland's Premiership after promotion in the summer, but there have been rumours and stories for a long time about American owner Mark Ogren, who bought Dundee United at the end of 2018, and how long he will stay at the club.

Dundee United returned to the top flight in 2020 after four years in the Championship, but to the great disappointment of the fans, they were relegated again in 2023 before being relegated back to the top flight in the spring of 2024.


Mark Ogren has spent over 100 million kroner

Moult very doubtful apparently

Obviously that’s great that the home end’s sold out but there’s certain to be loads of empty seats in the GF lower as a result of free u12 season tickets not being used.  I’ve heard of some folk taking out couple free u12 tickets with their own seat so when their mates go to the odd game they can sit with them (dunno how common this is).  Whilst free under 12s is a great initiative I think a nominal charge would be better, say £10-£15 for u12 season tickets as this would ensure they’re properly used.

I also think for sold out games such as this Utd should do more to get fans who aren’t going to be attending to get in touch with the club so they can re-release their seats to Utd fans who would still like to buy a ticket.

Finally, if these high home crowds continue I hope Utd consider keeping the shed for home fans like we do v Dundee.  Certainly hope we do this v Aberdeen in December when there will be huge demand from home and away fans .

Great 3 points

Adegboyega had his best game for us.  Big Ross Graham solid as a rock and another vital goal.  Thought Sibbald more like his old self today.

McLeod still wanted by Southampton

if he was only here for a year , does that mean we wouldn't have been due a development fee if he walked away in the summer?

 
We’d get something but not as much as a player who had been in our academy for years.  If he had indicated he wouldn’t sign a new deal, sadly the club have probably done the right thing, as shite as it is to lose a promising talent.

Utd have got themselves into a situation where 3hrs before the kick off if 2 ' casual ' fans want to buy tickets beside each other there is no availability.
With about 5000 empty seats today its maybe time for a rethink.
