I'm not getting carried away with that, to be fair I don't think any United fans are, it was just good to see us destroying a hopeless team for once.

But. Am I the only one that thought we were giving the ball away so cheaply at times that a decent side would have scored before we did?

We desperately need to find our first choice 11 and start them in every game so they start to gel as a unit.
This constantly chopping and changing doesn't help at all.

Wednesday will be a much bigger test of where we're up to.

 
Agree with giving the ball away too much, Bert saving us and woeful decision making from Killie stopped them scoring 2 or 3, albeit we could have also had another 2 or 3…

Heard Dane Murray + cash is what we’re after from the Tims

 
No thanks!!  Murray has been bogging every time I’ve seen him play.

Not seen any mention of a fee, would guess maybe around the £500k mark?

This starting 11 for me.

There are only 10 tickets left in the home end…. though Utd could still release another section at the end of the shed and also restricted view seats if they wanted.

Right back is the biggest issue for me just now.  Naamo can’t seem to stay fit and I wasn’t particularly impressed with him last season anyway. Rawlins looks miles off it.  Sevelj could probably do a better job there than both but don’t think that’s really his best position.

We have some good centre mids, we need to find the 3 that will work best together.  From the very little I’ve seen of Yoro I would suggest he will be one of them.  Tait has also been decent.  Then I think one of Sevelj or Ageyi (both have blown hot and cold so far).

Up front I’m really not sure what our best 3 are, plenty options but none look like definite starters at the moment.

I suppose the other question is, have we ever signed one on the rebound?  Or is it a case of burned bridges.

 
Kieran Freeman

Record reporting that another championship club (on top of Charlton and Blackburn) ready to bid.  Utd want £1.7m plus add ons.

Knew it was coming but the night before the first game of the season v the huns is not great timing, can’t see him playing if we’ve accepted a bid.  Severely weakens the team.

Only about 20 tickets left in George Fox for this one

Walton

Rawlins Iovu Forbes Ferry

Camara Tait Ageyi

Randall Metsoko Sapsford

1-1 (Shankland and Tait)

Best I’ve seen Camara for a while.  Dewar looks like he could be very useful.

Worryingly we don’t seem to have found a solid centre back pairing yet, also thought the front 3 in the first half were all pretty poor after showing some promise in last two league cup games.  Don’t think we have many certain starters yet - Walton obviously, Ferry if he’s still here, Forbes -and Tait will start, Sapsford has shown enough in LC games but beyond that not sure anyone else can say they definitely start next Friday

Abdoulaye Yoro being linked as a loan signing

It’s the constant failing to turn up in cup games that pisses me off most about Goodwin.  I could almost accept the league performances and results if they were accompanied by us having a proper respectable run in cups, being ready for the league cup group games, getting big convincing wins against smaller teams, turning up from first whistle in games against Falkirk, Motherwell and Killie, and going out and having a go at winning games against the bigger teams (not that we’ve had to face any of the so called bigger teams as we are usually knocked out by a smaller team).  The amount of times I’ve been furious after a cup capitulation under Goodwin is ridiculous - Spartans, Motherwell, Killie, QOS, Falkirk (x2), Montrose, Dundee, off the top of my head.  He either doesn’t understand the importance of cup Competitions to the club and supporters or isn’t capable of preparing and motivating the team to play in them.  It’s happened far too many times to the point that I just expect an abject performance and embarrassing exit every time.  The draws have actually been quite kind to us during his time!
