Sevelj between last season and this season is night and day. He’s been awful for months.

 
Yep, been very poor this season. We need someone in to do what Pappoe was supposed to, we’re too light in terms of competition in the middle of the park.

This might be a very leftfield shout, but i actually think Keresztes could be a good CDM. He's a good tackler, comfortable with the ball at his feet and a good passer.

It would also allow Ross Graham to play his natural position.

It's worth a go imo.

Kucherenko has the makings of a good goalkeeper but this single arm punch he does is going to kill his career.

THIS.

I totally disagree with the shouts of 'he can never play for us again'.

He 100% needs dropped and can't play again for a good few weeks. His confidence is shattered and he looked a disconsolate and broken young man Post-Match.

But, this is not a Mark Birighitti situation in as much as Yehvenii actually has some very good qualities. He has produced some outstanding saves and his quick distribution at times has been excellent too.

His achilles heel is simply cross balls. This was also the downfall of Radoslaw Czierniak, another excellent Eastern European shot stopper.

We have signed the lad for 2 years, with a 3rd year option. If he can somehow iron out this massive flaw in his game i still think he can be a top player for us (though i see him as more a longterm prospect tbh).

But he 100% can't play for us again until this punching the ball situation is addressed properly. 

This is something our much vaunted Goal Keeping coach, Paul Mathers should be able to sort out on the training ground, surely? It's ONE issue after all.

From Monday at training onwards i'd ban him form punching the ball. If you're coming for the ball you catch it, the end. If you don't think you can claim the ball, don't come for it and trust your Centre Halves instead.

The back line needs some basic order at set pieces. Immediately.

Because this season has been chaotic at the back, and will undermine our entire campaign at this rate.

Which would be a shame with what is (i believe) a talented group of honest players.
 

I also think the keeper would be a really decent keeper if he would catch the ba ffs.  He's made a lot of good saves and is comfortable with the ball at his feet.  

Vicko and Sibbald were way off it in midfield yesterday, we were getting the run around in there and leaving the backline wide open to attack.  We seem lost without Pan in there.

Need to get big Ross back in that backline.  Is Kilmarnock's pitch the place to give him his first start of the season though with no match fitness?

I've already agreed with your last point Mcbonzo that the team gave up when the 3rd went in.
I watch these things closely and for me only Stephenson & Kerestezs were still giving 100% in the last 15mins.
At one stage Kerestezs caught up and overtook Ferry when Falkirk were breaking up the park. Not good enough from a captain.
There is talent in the team but not enough will to win.
Graham & Cleal Harding ( both Utd supporters) would help put a bit of pride back.
into the team.
I want to see the team go down swinging, not throwing the towel in.
JG as a player was never short of effort or leaving a bit on his tackles, surely he can't be happy with this team of lightweights.

Can't make much of it unless you tell us who it is.

I’d be shocked if he is still here come February

I think everything has been said that needs to be said about a rock bottom performance. But would just add a couple of things.

343
In what alternative arrogant universe does the manager expect that to work without Camara? Surely as soon as he knew Camara wouldn't play he needs to go
352 to give us an extra man in midfield?
Camara has carried our midfield and without him we look weak and disjointed.
As we did again yesterday. The manager needs to do his job properly and he failed miserably yesterday by not changing away from 343. He's literally playing Celtic football manager with our club and it needs to f ucking stop.

Coaching.
How is it possible for 11 players to look like they've never met. Week after week.
Our passing, defence, positional sense, ball control, link up play and creativity is abysmal.
I'm afraid we have to face the potential reality that since Rapid Vienna, Goodwin is making these players worse as a team. I'll stay behind him to see how it goes but these lapses have to stop.

Winter in Dundee.
Some of these players look like they're thinking it was a mistake. I've no actual evidence for this, it's just a gut feeling. Get some of our young Scots back into this side immediately.  Richards as well, Graham and Cleall Harding must come in.
Iovu and Esselink must drop out.

Tannadice.
What the fcuk has happened to our home backing?
Maybe it was different in person but on TV it sounded like a morgue.

Warriors.
Last season we had that in abundance. This season I can only see 1 and he's not even our player. This needs to change.

Anyone else notice when he should F**k Off to the ETL in the first half after there was a bit of Booing when f**cking Falkirk walked through us for the umpteenth time?  Pr1ck.  

Captain and that was the first thing I seen him shout all game.

He took us to 4th and Europe last season.
He's having a difficult time at this point but he has earned the right to see if he can fix it.

 
Agree with this. Some of our support have never fully took to Goodwin for whatever reason, He's only ever a week away from being the hero or villian. If we go on a terrible run between now and the end of the year with no signs of things getting any better then I would reconsider my position.

The thing that concerns me most about Saturday was the lack of fight, 3 nil down at home and Falkirk looked the most likley to score next, I was surprised at the time they never got a fourth. A total throwback to the last relegation season, the post split games at Tannadice against Klliie and County that still give me nightmares. That just didn't happen to us last year and I'm hoping Graham can come back in and get that sorted.
