What massive hole are you on about ? I suggested that going forward they do not offer the same creativity as maybe Mulraney or King would. You decided that because Tremarco has scored maybe 5 or 6 goals (many of which I hasten to add have come from set pieces) he and David Raven are the answer to solving our dire lack of width when attacking. Is Tansey not our leading goal scorer ?
-
I think the problem is we are asking 2 fullbacks to become wing backs. Good defenders, but going forward and taking players on maybe not so. Maybe would work better with King and Mulraney but even then you would expose the 3 at the back more. Who knows ?
-
Something has to change, not losing and gaining a point every game is good but will probably not get us out of the bottom 2. We need to take the initiative and go and try and win the game. Playing 5 defenders along the back, does not inspire, Tremarco and Raven are decent fullbacks but are being asked to do a really difficult job by playing as wing backs. Revert back to a tried and trusted 4-4-2 with at least one natural wide player and a centre forward that can support Billy Mckay, who by the way looks a wee bit fecked off with all these aimless punts he is being asked to chase down. We need to try and create and not just hope something might happen.

Just my opinion, based on absolutely nothing other than Dundee Utd have the SPL experience, would have a big crowd behind them both home and away and would undoubtedly start as odds on favourites. Saying that if we somehow manage to claw ourselves into tenth, then this conversation becomes null and void , which I would happily trade for any last day excitement.
-
What I wanted to say is that I would sooner play Greenock Morton over 2 games and avoid Falkirk & Dundee Utd.
-
Surely to play a back five you need to have wide players that are comfortable going forward as well as defending. As good as fullbacks Raven and Tremarco are, they are quite limited when in possession going forward.. Saturday, both players were totally isolated with no options to play a direct pass as they were our furthest forward wide players,................ sitting deep in our own half. That is why we resort to long hopeful punts from the 3 central defenders.
-
As we continue to toil and struggle to get among the goals , 2 players seem to be continually overlooked Boden and Fisher Foran continues to use all his squad as he continues to try to find a winning side but these 2 never start. King is in ,then out ,Cole & Polworth the same. Surely with only 1 win in 18 they both must be worthy of a chance because at the moment everything else is failing miserably as we career towards relegation.
-
Lets be honest that was a brutal watch. Been quite supportive of Foran ,but cannot see how he can turn this round . First quarter of an hour in the second half we were good the rest of the game we struggled . Cannot believe that Foran could not see that we needed to make a change but for reasons only he knows he waited until the 90 minute mark .....bizarre Playing a back 5 really restricts our attacking options and not a tactic that wins matches and we really need to win .....1 win in 18 is just not good enough .

Good deal, Errea a recognised global brand much better than JD sports own brand.. The important bit is the club selecting the most profitable design, which has to be imo red and blue stripes.
-
Time for Foran to step up and demonstrate he has what it takes to manage and motivate at this level. Every game between now and the end of the season should be viewed as winnable. Time for the senior players to really show what they are about, no more calamities.
-
Wow, cannot believe its only 6 years, did he come from Blackburn on loan?
-
Carries a goal threat, something that Mulraney, Cole and King have yet to discover. So yes his is a big miss, cant expect Tremarco's goals alone to keep us up.
-
Shame, hopefully makes a full recovery over the summer. IMO a fully fit Doran would have been an automatic choice during the run in and it is a massive loss that he is not available.
-
Relegation, is the nightmare scenario. Dundee Utd have reported operating losses of over 1.5 million yesterday and that does not include the 1 million they took in through transfer fees. Appreciate their wage bill is a lot more than ours, but absolutely no way can we contemplate relegation. The home support last night was well down on previous matches against Celtic, dread to think how many we would pull in against Ayr Utd on a Wednesday night in Feb/March.

Totally agree. Ian Vigurs is not everybody's ideal player but for some reason he has been singled out this season. Some of it deserved, some not. But last night was not cool, in fact it just added to what was already a really fecking miserable night .
-
Would at this moment snap your hand off if you offered me 11th place. Anything better would be fantastic.
-
The goalkeeping issue should have been addressed in the January window. If OFW has been carrying an injury as speculated and Ryan Esson's fitness is suspect then why sign another striker in Henry Anier a squad player at best???
-
Ostracising, leaving out players whatever you want to call it is part and parcel of the game, probably find Alex Fisher & Scott Boden not to chuffed with RF man-management style at the moment.
-
Think I would settle for 11 at this moment in time take our chances in the play off. Hope I am wrong but cannot see us going on an unbeaten run , we just make to many mistakes to win matches.
-
Polworth good. Raven did OK . Cant see much more positives than that.

Shame he had to go really, his performance at Aberdeen was pure comic genius.
-
Regardless what you think about JH as a person or his man management style, you cannot deny his achievements with ICT no matter how much it pains you to admit it. WTF.......... diid you really use the term False News on a football forum ???????
-
Happy clappy superfans or supporters who recognised his achievements in a 2 1/2 year period. League Cup finalists... Scottish Cup Winners.. European Football .. Highest placed league finished (3rd).. Manager of the year .. Football Writers Manage of the Year. Obviously still not enough to gain the respect of many on here, who would sooner focus and analyse his management style.
-
Think both Cole and Mulraney are improving with every game, but both tend to disappear for chunks of the game. No complaints though,. as the more they play the more consistent and experienced they will become.
-
Can only hope we do not employ the same tactics as we did a couple of weeks ago in the cup, that was absolutely suicidal. Same tactics, same formation as the last couple of games with only change being Warren for McCart. Hopefully both Tremarco and Mulraney fit again. Us taking points of Celtic still hurts Rodgers as he keeps still banging on how they were the better team, with the better chances, but what he never mentions is how the referee bottled it that day for the last man foul on Draper. Game changer in our favour.
