quicker Bilate is back imo the better, if he's no liking the lone striker role then he needs to play deeper...

or you could look at it other ways...he's no happy and blaming team mates for lack of service...either way, like i said countless times in a rant over the weekend, if its no happening, make it happen...

Judging  by our captain's comment's in the Courier (and reading between the lines) Ciftci would appear to be 'frustrated' at the way we are playing and service to him,or lack thereof.

I can kinda sympathise with him because he has been starved of service post-Gauld/Robertson.

What doesn't sit well with me is the way he's almost having to be babysat the now and treated with 'kid gloves'.It's like the Manager and captain are almost having to go out their way to heap praise on him to get in his 'good books'.

Johnny Russell,David Goodwillie even at times Jon Daly had to plough a lone furrow upfront on their own,sometimes with little service.I never seen any of these players moan about it or let their heads drop so badly though.

Time for Nadir to start becoming a team player again and get the fucking finger oot.Where's that big grin that was such a regular occurence last season i wonder?

I've said it before but if Nadir didn't have these personality traits he'd be playing for a bigger club. Great captaincy I say. I love Dillon. A real United player. Anyone who thinks he should be dropped is mental IMHO. Deserves a new contract too.

It is clever fae Dillon,i agree.

I'm sick of hearing that Nadir 'would be playing for a bigger club' if he wasn't such a moody bastard though.No offence intended to yourself (i've heard it said countless times recently).

He's at Dundee Utd.Every one of our 11 players must work hard for 90 minutes.That's the way it is,and that's the way it's always been.

 

 
Agree. I think the reports of interested clubs have maybe turned his head a bit. If he wants a move to a bigger club, he better learn that he has to work hard all the time and turn in consistent performances every week. A bit like GMS as well. Frustrating for fans this kind of player but it's the classic "needs an arm around the shoulder" type. Worse thing that could happen is if fans start to get on his back.

All said we're sitting 1 point off the top without playing particularly well in some if not most games, I'll take that and hope we can get better once we have competition for places again when players come back from injury and maybe add a couple in January's window.

He needs to shut his puss and work on his attitude. Everyone loves a trier i.e. goodie, Johnny, Noel Hunt, Danny Cads, Sandaza. When It wasn't working for these lads no one criticised them as we knew they were working hard.

Yes. Far better attitude than Nadir.
