That's a big positive from today in that case.
Still think we need another LB in before the window shuts though.Suppose that is entirely dependant on whether or not we can move on Gardyne and Oyenuga.

Re: Dundee Utd V Ross County - 23/08/14
Rado was secure today and stayed on his line more which helped!!
In fairness to County they at least did try and have a bit of a go more than Motherwell two weeks ago.
Defence looked ok but could still see some nerves from last week at times.
I didn't think GMS was on it today, sorry Bugs, some poor decision making when he got into the final third for me although he did well in spells
Would have hooked Mario after about an hour he was blowing out his arse but thankfully Erskine came up with the goods, laddie surely deserves a start next week??

Re: Dundee Utd V Ross County - 23/08/14
Honestly think after the first half, where they were like a pub team, that we just became too casual second half and got dragged down to their level the 3 free headers allowed at the back post are a concern tho.
1st half GMS looked back on it, but 2nd half his decision making round the box was poor.
Townsend better going forward today
Rado, didn't have much to do, but did it reasonably well.
Thought Ranks was the energy that kept us going and he dominated midfield most of the game
Watson looked decent today also.
Ciftci his usual frustrating self
Mario, looks quick, strong and promising but tired badly
Derek Adams should be sacked for the interview he gave, guy clearly knows nowt about football.

Re: Dundee Utd V Ross County - 23/08/14
Strange match. I thought we would have the game sewn up by half-time at by 3 goals. Loadsa nearies. GMS, Dowser, Watson, Ranks. GMS gettin fouled a bit too often for me. Notice he switched sides for a while. Still a little too much hoofball for my liking, and Shifty still being a but selfish, tho he's got his 1st goal, so hope that improves. MOTM for me was either GMS or Morris. Bizarre booking for him was it no.

Rado better today all round. Decision making better though we were not really under any sustained pressure.
Too much commotion

Re: Dundee Utd V Ross County - 23/08/14
I thought first half we were good and the were awful, second half was even, we had more chances but they had better chances, their man at the back post scored one and had two other great chances.
Thought Townsend and GMS were really good, Morris was good too but I don't think Fojut won a header all game, seemed off the pace to me.
Bilate should not be stating yet, he says himself he's 4-6 weeks behind the rest of the boys fitness wise. Some good touches and play from him in wide areas but was never in the box when we had the ball in a good position out wide.
Thought Ciftci was okay, put a shift in to help out Mario but I don't think he's as good if not the one up top.
Think Erskine deserves another start to be fair, if Armstrong out at Paisley I'd go with Erskine for Mario with Ciftci back up top.
