I would like to see a team of ...

............................Cierzniak..........
McGowan......Fojut.......Morris......Dixon
......................Souttar....Rankin...........
.............Spittal........Telfer.......Erskine...
................................Ciftci........................

Subs -
Szromnik

Butcher
Muirhead
Connolly
Coote
Anier

I say it every week but we need to get back to the high tempo, pressing high up the park game of last season.

Rado

McGowan
Dixon
Fojut
Morris

Butcher
Souttar

Ciftci
Telfer
Spittal

Muirhead

As ever, first goal vital.

Due a wee bit of cheer!

Futba is a funny unpredictable thing.

Oor roller coaster ride that is DUFC has always been up and down but this season the ride went underground.

Don't be surprised if the end is good!?!

Don't like playing football manager, but:-

First sentence is paramount (but Ranks is one of the best exponents?).

Love the set up because Butch would make that a 4141 and it would put them on the back foot.

Beginning to believe the final sentence is becoming a bit overestimated, I used to think it was really,really, really helpful to score first, but Jackie's recently turned it into crucial for victory where the opposite is the point of no return, and it's obviously not.

Would love to hump these arrogant horrible Kuntz, don't see it happening though.

St Obswell · 30/4/2015 10:05 pm

Don't have anything against Aberdeen as a team or Club tbh, it's more the idiots that follow them now, funny how things turn around from the 80's & 90's when the opposite applied when Willie Miller, McLeish, Strachan and Simpson used to run after the referee and they're idiots ran away.

Not at the game but a much needed result. Sounded like a great defensive display which is encouraging, how were we elsewhere?

Results going our way else where. Game in hand v ICT, is the push for a european spot still on with ICT having one eye on the cup?

C'mon United!!!

Fuck yea!!!

stobievulture · 02/5/2015 4:22 pm

great team performance....Souttar absolutely outstanding...shifty back to his best..back 4 superb

St Obswell · 02/5/2015 4:53 pm

Agree with that, Radik was V.G too, only negative was young Paddy imo, don't expect him to throw about a big welt like Ashley Taylor about but he does need to show more when his foot's on the ball.

All said, a good 3 points and a great boost of confidence.

Well done United

stobievulture · 02/5/2015 5:02 pm

Rado - very good...8/10

back 4 - outstanding...Morris stand out for me 9/10

Souttar - 9.5/10

Rankin - captains performance but passing lets him down 7/10

spitall was good but got injured 5/10 ..replaced by connelly..dinna get the laddie 5/10

Telfer...nup...game passed him by..doesn't do enough for me 5/10

shifty - ahhhhhh...thats mair like it you big turkiksh hunky cunt 8/10

Muirhead - great number 9 performance, good touch, held up well...linked up well with the shift...took his goal great 8/10

lifesanocean · 02/5/2015 5:22 pm

Agree with the above. Connolly was rotten when came on. We worked hard. They were dreadful. Quite like this winning malarky though.

lifesanocean · 02/5/2015 5:23 pm

Muirhead looks the biz.

The Shed · 02/5/2015 5:35 pm

Good performance, wheres that team been hiding for 3 months?

The number of times the final ball let us down tho, could have been a few more easily. Aberdeen did have chances too, but overall a deserved win.

Souttar was exceptional, thats the player he can be, he's got it all.

St Obswell · 02/5/2015 5:41 pm

Can't believe you still couldn't give Ciftci mom after that lol stubborn cunt

The Shed · 02/5/2015 5:43 pm

Souttar was motm easily.

Beharder · 02/5/2015 5:56 pm

Agreed Souttar was MOM
Special mention to for Fojut, dont think lost an ariel ball all day. Some supporters Seem to focus on his poor passing however he was immense considering aberdeen were content on long high ball football.

Mention for Scott Smith also, only played 10 mins, but slotted in like a regular. Good to see our own youngsters getting a chance again.

lifesanocean · 02/5/2015 6:11 pm

Agreed. He's been playing well for the u20's and did well today when he came on.

seems like souttar getting rave reviews all over

great win and was much needed

kiwiarab · 02/5/2015 7:32 pm

Well done United and well done TEK for picking the tram today

Waffelz · 02/5/2015 8:04 pm

If we sort our final ball out...

Lots of positives today. Connolly was very poor again sadly. Really bad performance. Also: why on earth has Morris switched sides?

RogerTheAlien · 02/5/2015 9:04 pm

Connolly needs a run of games.

The bairns will be inconsistent due to learning to cope with pressures, expectations and tactics. Playing against better organised teams might give a player like Connolly a more difficult time with his style but he will learn.

Glad his bad game today ended with a great win so he can focus more on learning than guilt!
