Todorov had a good game v Queen of the South (I was there) and scored a goal but gets dropped today. Why on earth? On his worst day Toddy is better, more industrious, not scared to tackle, than White. I am fed up of White jumping and missing the ball. I am no football manager but fail to see the benefit Robbo sees in playing White week in week out for little return. I would have Todorov starting, with Walsh too and Keatings. Incidentally well done Charlie Trafford, he never gives up despite not being given a regular start. Carson a good signing, improving every game.

Why persist in playing White? He was rubbish again today ?

Sure, Shankland should have been off for elbowing McCart (I've seen the TV footage). Sure, Keatings missed a sitter at 0-1, heading wide of an open goal from 3 yards out. Nevertheless, that was a reality check. For long periods we didn't look like we belonged in the same league as United. Our midfield is a huge problem. Carson and Trafford (and Vincent) don't lack effort but they are rotten in possession. With no chance of them playing a killer pass teams can sit in, concentrate on denying Keatings space and wait for us to punt a high ball at White which he will probably lose (on the occasions he wins it, no one is ever looking for the second ball). God, we miss Welsh. United just looked much more streetwise. The threat of Shankland is enough to induce panic - at the first goal both McCart and Tremarco flung themselves in front of his shot, which left McMullan in space on the right. Rooney got his feet all mixed up and stuck the centre into his own net. He really wasn't the same afterward. Walsh looked bright when he came on but Storey in contrast was dreadful and gave away a stupid penalty with a petulant, unnecessary trip. Not very professional. By then Clark's goal had already killed us off. He put his foot through it but it beat Ridgers at his near post and I feel the goalie should be saving that. After that our heads were gone and it could have been five. Hard to know where we go from here. Aside from starting Walsh we aren't exactly blessed with other options.

We should be so much better than we are. We have good players and a good squad. We have exciting attacking players yet we don't play to their strengths. We bypass them all the time by playing aimless long balls to a striker who doesn't hold the ball or win many headers. We need to get the ball on the deck and get our wingers on the ball because that is where we are most dangerous. This long punts up the park is garbage. Sort it out Robbo.

Why does Robbo persist with White? Out of form at present. Robbo only seems to want to push attacking play when we are down instead of out of the blocks from the start. Hoofing long ball to an out of form striker ain't going to win games. Toddy should be on from the start. I'm beginning to wonder if Robbo is the man to take us up - he seems to lack ideas and imagination. It's the same sh1te each week. Poor and getting worse.

What's fickle about not wanting to watch ***** week in week out couldn't care less what UTDs wage bill is I expect us 2 compete with all the teams in this league my man look at Livi competing in the SPL on a smaller budget than us!

???????? Gregor AKA Jordan ?

You should've gone to the fluke before the start of the game .....would've been a much more enjoyable day! ???

Absolutely never turned up yet again, pretty shambolic from back to front with a management team who are lacking any new ideas. After 2 and a bit years in charge we don't look like a team heading towards promotion any time soon.

Yet again we fail to score and fail to really threaten them in any way whatsoever. If the “go-to” forward can’t do his job (i.e. score goals) and the manager keeps picking him as the first team starter, who’s really to blame? The striker that can’t score or the manager that keeps playing him? Yogi did it with Liam Hughes (remember him?), F*ran did it with Doumbouya, Robbo did it with Baird and is now doing it with White. I’m in agreement with other posts in saying that there’s a lack of passion in the team, it’s been looking that way for quite some time now. Positives? Trafford did well, didn’t give up and looked like he wanted to win, Carson does well in the midfield or defence, just a steady player, thought Walsh did alright for the time he was on, hopefully he’ll be up at full fitness soon, should definitely be starting too. I was getting a coffee during the Shankland/McCart incident and the Tremarco yellow card shortly afterwards so can’t comment on them. Would like to see if they’re in the highlights.

Leaderless and gutless. Terrible ref, yes but we deserved nothing from that. Slow to close down and track back. Storey and White both a waste of shirt. Every time we have a chace to close the gap we bottle it.

Are we going to have another season like we did when Robbo constantly played Baird when everyone could see he was Utter mince .Why oh why are we playing whyte week in week out . Robertson’s team selection today was hard to fathom . Was that actually our best 11 that started ??

Still on the train to Edinburgh, no phone charging points on the Inverness to Perth service, just a train full of half pissed Arabs eating stinking takeaways. A complete waste of a day. Never thought I’d see the day when Trafford was our best player. Curry seems to have earned a run in the team based on that one decent strike last Saturday but I can’t see him stepping up to this level, Hope I’m wrong. Edited to add, I’ve never rated Storey and I’ve no idea why Robbo resigned him. Now you can ask CaleyStan, when Toddy scored on Tuesday night, I turned to him and said “that’ll be White starting on Saturday then...”

Time to go shopping for centre backs, ours used to be so tight, now they are leaking goals at an alarming rate .

?...well he's the man who signed Storey, so maybe he does need his head looked at.

Everyone seems to see this ... but Robbo. Completely infuriating. I really feel heart sorry for Todorov.

The football is brutal, turgid and boring. I agree that this is Robbo's last chance...

Why drop Toddy? White has being awful last few games. Guess this will be a game of the long ball and no headers won up front

Game on!

Have you noticed that I look a bit different since this morning? I'm growing my moustache for 30 days and it's not just a bold fashion statement. I'm doing it to raise funds for the Movember Foundation, and I need your support: https://mobro.co/highlanderict?mc=5 Personally, I am supporting the Movember Foundation because just over 1 year ago (October 18th 2018) only a few months after losing a family member to Prostate Cancer, I was diagnosed with it myself. This was a shock to me as like most people I was uninformed, and thought that Prostate Cancer only happens to much older men, and to others, not yourself! But that is not the case. However, Movember is not only about Prostate Cancer, it also supports health and well-being in other areas, most notably raising awareness of Testicular Cancer and also Mental Health and Suicide Prevention. Your donations will help the Movember foundation to stop men dying too young.

I appreciate your support.

I thought Charlie trafford was by far our best player today must start v lichties he gives his all for the club ️ please give toddy a chance up front

Surprisingly, I thought White did win a fair amount of knock-ons. However they were either misdirected or there was nobody around to take advantage. Just an overall poor display against a slick speedy Dundee United.

Yes, there were gasps of shock in the North Stand when he actually won that ball.

White won a great flick-on late in the game, unfortunately no one anticipated him winning it and the ball went safe.?

Ps spoke to Sean Welsh today. He hopes to get surgical boot off in two weeks and maybe back playing around Christmas/New Year time. . Good news.

Very disappointing afternoon: totally outclassed. I would only give pass marks to Trafford and Ridgers, plus Walsh after he came on. Carson did ok, but the rest were poor. Shankland could have been sent off and the ref had some poor decisions but I don’t think that changed things. We were just not good enough. We certainly miss Welsh. At one point I thought Tremarco was losing the plot after his booking but he got a grip. Similarly Rooney would have been a red card risk had he not got injured. McKay should have replaced him rather than Vincent Really hard to work out what we need to change. We go between doing well and doing poorly, so need consistency. A result at Arbroath will help greatly then we can have a breather and focus on the cup for a week. United, despite their recent defeats, are a cut above the other teams, and have shown that against us. We need to be more consistent and aim for, at worst, second.

I beg that White gets dropped entirely. He's pure gash. How about that guy from the Main Stand? He had a better header than any of the players on the field...

Can't understand why Robbo persists with White. He's absolutely unable to hold or head a ball. Given his size he should be winning at least 50% of all balls in the air. Trafford MOM not because he was skilful but more for his effort which was missing in all the others, woeful performance and lucky we only lost 3.

Full time. Just shocking. Both games against them they have walked all over us. May aswell just give them the points at the start. Other results... League....

Chairman moans about crowds. It’s a two-way street. Give the fans something to cheer about! Woeful stuff. Can Robbo not motivate his players? Feeble displays shipping points everywhere.

Another woeful performance ?

PEN to United. 3-0 Utd - Shankland Embrassing. That's 7 goals we have shipped against Dundee Utd so far.

Don't worry we are still going to win the league, according to our CEO.

That's what BBC text says. Their match stats suggest that ICT haven't turned up today.

Live Commentary

Is McGregor injured, not in the squad, Todorov back on the bench for white with Keating Curry & Doran supporting. Punting up the park again?

Fudge in hell! Mrs G knows nothing about football how is it bloody possible! Hahaha

Bum fluff is worth supporting

Looks like about 12 weeks left for me. Which result can I get wrong this week. How about Ayr @ 2.20 please

Hi folks, just a wee note to confirm that the club will again be broadcasting live audio commentary from Sunday's game. Same drill as previous - a link to a Periscope feed will go up on the club's Twitter account 5-10minutes before kickoff. (For the second half, there'll be a new link put up). Hopefully there won't be any horizontal rain like there was at the Alloa game!

Saturday! I meant Saturday!

Haven’t read any of the previous posts and having been in the fluke since end of game my comments may be alcohol induced. Charlie Trafford totally immense today. Was totally committed and never gave up. Sean Rooney was the same until his unfortunate injury. We didn’t have the class to see off Utd White can’t win a header and his goal scoring record is shocking. No doubt Gregor and his stats will be on shortly but scoring goals against teams in the chocolatecaranelwafer thingy isn’t the same as goals in the league. God knows what his scoring record in the league is. Without Welsh we don’t have the class for that final pass and we are struggling to break teams down. Draws against Alloa getting beat by Morton isn’t the sign of a team going places We are now in the position that we need to win Three more games than Utd this early in the season. Frustrating to say the least ??

Think it's time for Robbo to go hopefully Hearts will come in for him in some capacity he's no gonna get us promoted wer a mid table club bereft of direction who play awful long ball football to White who is 1 of the worst strikers Iv ever seen ! Gutless and clueless most weeks especially at home never play anything even close to decent football until the games lost ! Defo Robbo oot!

Anything right...was utter garbage
