Tek, I've just written much the same about players on another bit here.

We all get a bit of enthusiasm when somebody new takes over (in this case it could be Robbie, or Mark Ogren) but the science behind doing well isn't too hard..................surely?

Boys that are physically capable should be a prerequisite, but not,it seems, at Tannadice.

Mate I am fucking pig sick of it.

This fucking pishy 4-2-3-1 system may have worked when we had Ciftci upfront and players of the calibre of GMS,Armstrong and Gauld in behind, but fuck me since then we have tried to shoehorn in so many players that are so so similar in standard i.e. Dow, Erskine, Obadeyi, Riski, Van Der Velden, Spittal, Connolly, Justin Johnson, Matty Smith, Cammy Smith, Nesbitt, McMullan, King, etc etc et fuckin cetra.

When will the penny drop that four hard working players in midfield with two boys upfront who compliment each other but are also different in style may just work?

Oh and maybe a bit of fucking pace in the team. We are painfully slow.

I think we'd all agree with that. Ayr were/are everything we're not. Big, strong, fit, well drilled, able to find a man with a pass, calm in possession, unhurried.

It worries me that we are actually none of the above.

Holy fucking hell, unbelievable, I’m lost for words, would love to know why gomis got a full gem, quicker mcmullan is out the team the better, need 2 up top, Smith poor, fyvie so far off the pace, bouhenna and frans donkeys, booth for the goal wtf, seaman actually look not bad, fucking awful, squad still needs major surgery

RN looks like he is trying to build a team that is  effective on.4G surfaces  with lovely
summer like  20degree temperatures and EPL style referees who dont allow tackling.
However this is 2nd tier Scottish football... we can all fill in the rest.

1 thing I hate is folk moaning about height.  Height has very little to do with it.  Strength, ability , desire, quality these are things that matter. 

It does feel like deja by however with this 4231 let’s play 3 no 10’s bullshit.  It’s like getting rid of Blair Spittal to replace him with 3 Blair Spittals.

The first 11 is still, after all these signings, 5 players short of being a good championship team.  We still need a GK, CB, LB, winger and striker.  That said this team still could win the league if they show some desire and organisation as the rest of the league are also rubbish.

No leader. On the park
We are screaming out for a centre half who will organise shout at the defence ...  A playmaker who can get us playing with tempo  ...  And a goal scorer all the

The fans are doing there bit (again) 
Board look like there doing there bit

Now time for the team to galvanize and sort out the mistakes


As fans we can only dream.    The board Robbie and the team can make your dream come true.   

Who next ???

McLean
Golac
Houstie


No pyro.   No party

I canna stand mcmullan, rather have billy king on the park, McMillans ball retention is a fucking minter, he either hit and hopes or just runs in to bother and paps out the tackle and don’t even get my fucking started on his end product, absolutely awful footballer

Hibs and Falkirk finished above us season 1. Fair enough Hibs but falkirk though... all while Dumbarton were schooling us. A part time team.

St Mirren and Livi finished above us season 2. Livi a part time. Shabba should’ve been punted.

Ross County and Ayr above us currently while we’ve beat alloa once In 5 games this season.

Fucking horrific.

Fyvie for me, is done. Slow, unfit and scared to tackle.

Frans and Bouhenna must be the softest pair of centre backs I have ever seen. Bouhenna in particular was absolute dogsh**e last night.

McMullan getting the whole 90 was staggering. After hearing a rumour about Aird we will be in for another winger I reckon.

After those "performances" if he picks Fyvie or McMullan to start next week and I am the Chairman he will have his p45 on a plate at full time if we lose to Morton at home.

Smith and Stanton barely any better but we need to play somebody. Worrying times. Yes I'd probably bring King and Aird back for those 2 as well.
 

We've won and lost plenty big games with big supports in loads of ways/styles lucky, unlucky and deserved but there is no excuse for a lack of fight and urgency. That is what fucks supporters off the most.

And people clearly unfit. Fyvie And Aird  for example. And not getting stuck in. e.g. Stanton Bouhenna Frans
And being invisible e.g. Smith or King.
And being utterly fucking useless eg Murdoch McMullan  Rabbitsch Curran etc etc

 
Fyvie is in a bad place. I like him alot and have high hopes but I'm no sure how many games he is away fae good form.

Every player we have other than The Rabbit we don't rate needs to step it up regarding getting stuck in.

If you watch foitage of how Robbie had hearts playing it seems the current style might be a case of workin with what he has.
