Tekel Towers » Utd v Dumbarton

Tek · 04/9/2017 6:20 pm

To lose there once was embarrassing.

To lose there twice in a row a disgrace.

To lose to a team with 1 stand and 500 fans thrice in the space of a year would be an immediate resignation/sackable situation imho.

Big performance required against a team that gave us all sorts of problems last season (even at Tannadice).

It's at home. Get your point tho!

Given a blank canvas, able to re-sign/sign 16 first team capable players and even have time to piss about with "Ones for the future" if the manager can't put a team out to comfortably dispatch Dumbarton at home he should be shown straight out gate at the back of the dugouts, let alone be allowed back in the building.

We need start seeing an improvement in the performances. We've not looked comfortable in any of our league games so far, not a trait associated with league winning teams.

We'll struggle on Saturday me thinks

05/9/2017 11:39 am

Talk in The Tully of our 'big guns' being available.
Big guns being named as Keatings & Fraser.
Selection headache for Ray, starting XI coming from a sizeable squad?
Only half a dozen definite starters for me -
Lewis
Durnan
Robson
Fyvie
Stanton
McMullan

bowers · 05/9/2017 12:11 pm

id leave keatings out he has already been rushed back

Agreed.

I'd play:
Lewis

Murdoch
Durnan
Edge
Robson

King
Fyvie/Briels (fitness depending, I'd prefer Briels)
Stanton
McMullan

McDonald
N'Koyi

Subs:
Deniz, Quinn, Toshney, Flood, Briels/Fyvie, Fraser, Keatings.

Other than Lewis probably, eh Dina think any oh them are 'definite starters'
To be fair to RM he hus at least brought in a good squad oh players but efter St Mirren none oh that list are garunteed a start.

Ray says on Arabzone that Keatings, Briels and Fraser only started ball work yesterday and won't be involved.

Beardy23 · 07/9/2017 1:46 pm

Ray described Paddy's running style as 'languid'.
Spot on. Doesn't look like he's outpacing anyone but suddenly he's past him.
Keep it under your hat but I think we might have a player here.

TheShed · 07/9/2017 11:40 pm

So if Briels, Fraser and Keatings are out along with Scobbie and M Smithit has to be

. Lewis
Murdoch. Durnan. Quinn. Robson
McMullan. Fyvie. Stanton. King
McDonald. Nkoyi

Subs. Mehmet, Toshney, Edge, Flood, Chalmers, Taylor, Allardice.

Be amazed if at least 1 of Fraser/Keatings isn't on the bench as the forward options are extremely limited without them.

Also not really sure which 2 centre halves I'd pick as tbh they're all capable of being pish.
