Will be intresting to see how he gets on playing on Dawson Park a week on friday in The Netherlands.

People seem to largely ignore the massive faults in Connolly's game. Yes, he's a good dribbler and he's direct, but his decision making and passing are both awful. And like you say, he's easily pushed off the ball.

Erskine is a better player but has poor stamina.

Agree wi yi there like, the end product isn't there yet but I still think he'll become outstanding given a good run of games.

Totally agree mate.

Out of curiosity bud what would be your starting 11?

Good question mate...

New keeper 

McGowan, Morris, New experienced CB, Dixon 

Souttar Paton 

New Winger,  New playmaker, Erskine 

New proven striker  


Nae room for guys like Spittal, Rankin, Dow, in starting midfield line up. Would like to see more of Telfer and connolly needs to bulk up for the scottish game, the wee man comparison to iniesta and messi is fair enough but they dont play ICT and St J every other week do they !!!

Left oot ciftci cos he'll either be sold, in jail or banned for a while. Muirhead might do a job but alot to ask of a young lad being a sole striker with no real service unless we sign people. Bilate will be injured and Anier, SHUDDER !!!!

This is based is Jackies stubborn formation, which never, ever changes.... 

Like I say, im freaking fae brechin about this coming season, hope im wrong, really really hope im wrong... 

Totally agree with your reasons/choices like. Only thing I would swap is Erskine for Connolly. If Erskine wasn't breathing oot his erse after an hour then he'd be half decent.

Fucking disgraceful today, again.

 
Your wish has been granted, new pitch laid at Tannadice a new synthetic one at Gussie Park, a new scoreboard, new seats in the dugout for the players, new changing facilities for the players, new catering for the fans I'm led to believe and maybe some other things i have missed but all in all it seems the Club and it's sponsors are spending money on ground improvements.

New catering for the fans? First i've heard that mentioned.

I would agree with you there TU. Dow is the sort of player defenders like to play against, make it a bit physical and you dont see Dow in the game.
Bilate (injury Permitting) is a much better bet moving forward 

My thoughts exactly. I have never honestly came away from a game thinking Dow was outstanding. 

Happy with that, rather it at 3 30 on a sunday than 12 o clock.

Would love to go down for this but going for a week in the Netherlands instead. As Arabnophobia says it's all about the trip away, the game is just a bonus.

Thats still a great price for flights

Biggest improvement I'd like to see at Tannadice is the atmosphere, brutal to say the least.

Any chance we can get a pre season friendly game sorted against your team Paul?

I wonder what previous strip it will be?

Yeah I agree, pitch was terriable but then when the better weather came it looked great towards end of the season. 

SL squad? No sure what you mean bud haha

Would love to see us at least have one home friendly before the season starts but i really doubt we will.
