The quality of our passing was horrific yet again. We really have no discernable style and ability to build attacks. It's mind mumbing to watch.

The good thing is a new manager can make a difference. You only need to look at Motherwell who were equally horrendous under Alexander at the start of the season. Hammell has got them knocking the ball about with a purpose and creating chances. Lets face it, poor finishing let them down on Saturday. On another day they could have won 3 nil.

Think Chalmers going out on permanent move.

It's the fans fault though. Toxic cunts spreading rumours. The business we've done is superb. Great hashtag as well.

What about when we signed Alphonse Tchami and Mvondo Atangana from Cameroon. Or did they have French passports or something?

More a U21 team id say, Mochrie Meekison etc. Elgin streaming it for a fiver

Pretty surprised Meekison and MacLeod played in this.

Thought both would be on the bench on Thursday, and they might still be. But why risk them in that case?
 

It's still early season, maybe JR feels they need a game to get a bit more match fitness into their legs?
 

I had a scotch pie and enjoyed it. Deffo a butchers pie rather than a bakers.

I’d go with

Birighitti
Smith Edwards mulgrew mcmann (Aussie boy got his visa yet??)
Harkes levitt
Middleton watt niskanen
Fletcher

Possibly too attacking though

I'd be happy with that too.
 

It's crashed again. Full credit to Future Ticketing for their fantastic response to Fridays issues, ensuring today has went as smoothly as it has. The club getting it spot-on again with their choice of commercial ticketing partner.

Just finished listening to a Dode Fox podcast episode - trying to catch up after being away. Question asked was "If there was one United player from any point in our past that you could have back in our team right now, who would it be?" Can't remember if Paul McNicol had an answer and Ronny Costello said Craig Brewster (because he would thrive on a really slow build-up involving no wingers that gets the ball near the opposition box once every 20 minutes). Thought to myself - has to be Ralphie Milne every day of the week. Width, blistering pace, goes past defenders like they're not there, scores from anywhere, puts them on a plate for everyone else. Everything we need right now.
Real pace terrifies defenders and for me, our number one focus right now should be on a quality wide player with fantastic pace.
Unfortunately it won't be Ralphie, or anyone like him. They broke the mould after George Best and Ralph Milne were made.

Funny I've not listened to this weeks podcast but I was thinking about what type of player we could do with given ideally we could do with a right winger and also a backup/alternative striker with real pace and the name that popped into my head was:

Kevin Gallacher

Because he could play both roles and when I was a kid I loved watching him tearing past defenders. Having someone who could get us up the park quickly would be great. Even if most of his crosses ended up in The Shed!
 

Middleton didn't play as a winger for St Johnstone. He played as a number 10 in a 3-5-2 system as the one behind 2 strikers or, more often in a 3-4-2-1 as one of the 2 in behind the striker. Decent player technically, but not sure he's what we need. Im guessing we've been told to bolt by our A list and (maybe) B list of targets in the number 10 position (McGrath) and wide position.

Most folk that went to the games last year were well in agreement that squad needed major strengthening.  There is always the odd crazy cat that won't hear a bad word said but for the most for a long while it's been a really hard watch.

So far we have been slow off the blocks as per usual.

Fingers crossed that we can get in a few more but it more hope than expectation.  The manager has been quite direct in saying he needs 5 players (including the Aussie).

With a bit of luck Tony might be back behind his desk this week and getting on with the day job.

Happy with Levitt I think that us fans played a massive role in getting him to come here by making both the lad and his parents very welcome, but the club obviously deserve credit.

Time will tell with Fletcher , I've no doubt about his quality and I know he played a good few games last year but he's a year older at 35 and injured already. Fletcher will also be on some wedge, so let's hope my fears are unfounded and he contributes well this season.

Sibbald is the easiest one and one that I think will be a good addition, someone who will be busy on the pitch for us and can play in a number of positions, a real team player.

The keeper also is a massive gamble in my opinion, a guy for some reason never quite settled in Holland or Wales and here we are shelling out a transfer fee for him. Let's hope he can make a comfortable move and settle in well from Perth Australia to Dundee.

There's a mountain of graft to be getting on with and let's hope there is no quiz nights coming up😉

Great post
