I think they said we have gone 3-5-2/5-3-2 with Proctor Munro McGuire at the back allowing Tokely and Mcbain to push forward

I would like to see our youngsters get a game. CC gave Zander and Rory a start away to St Mirren on the last day of the season and Zander had a great game but he should have played them in games before that. Hopefully Brew will do that after the split.

Have we...? We certainly have not done OK without him and the first 5 games showed it, its been better since McGuire came into the side but I would still rather have Dods.

Yeah he yet again show some potential but give a start against Killie, the season is over so lets start planning for next season.

I would withdraw the contract offer from Duncan before he signs it. Denzil just needs a goal and hopefully we will get to see him back on a good scoring run. Niculae seriously should learn how to pass a ball once in a while, I'm all for having a shot outside the box now and then but not every single time when there are better options available. Rossco should learn to stay in his position, the number of times he was caught out and just strolling back was unreal. It also says a lot when McBain was the best player on the pitch but the way he came off the pitch really pissed me off, it looked to me like he couldn't give a toss.

If there playing rubbish just now then how willthey take the final top 6 spot?

Does your mum not know that when a football club reaches the top flight their fans are expected to go to matches, sit quietly and let the board get on with making as much profit as possible so that the people in power can stuff as much quick cash into their hippers as they can? :clapping03: :clapping03: Well said.

Incidentally where did the 15000/20000 Utd fans come from considering there was only501 fans at the Gretna? :024:

I would tell Savage and his "yes man" to feck aff - give Grasser a nice and deserved pay off - I would get my own sugar daddy - Yes install Gough and Hendry as the management - No Rosscoe and Bazza fer the reserves and the yoof - Yes grab Craig Brown as the Director of Football and assume the Chief Executive post maself. No I would say cheerio to Niculae and his wages -and buy an out and out centre forward and a "foil" with pace. I would play Cowie and Zander wide with Black and a seasoned old pro in the hole. I would also seek out a central defender who could pass. Yes 3/5 ain't bad. Job's yours

Well it is definitely us, Gretna, Killie and St Mirren. If I was to be a betting man I would say that Hearts will take the last top 6 spot.

Exactly what I thought. Re. the penalty, my first reaction was Kalvenes went down too easily and Cuellear had just outmuscled him but on second viewing I was proved wrong. I do sympathise with the ref, he didn't have the best view of the incident and wasn't helped out by his linesman.

I would like to see our younger players eg. Vigurs, Gillespie getting some run outs in the team. I would NEVER play 4-5-1 at home and would only use it away to OF and if it was 1 up top I would have someone willing to go beyond the striker, something we don't have. I would tell Granty that the ball can be played on the deck from time to time. I would remind Tokely that he plays on the right side of DEFENCE and not 60 yards further up the pitch. I would stop this continually swapping of McBain and Cowie from left to right. I would make proper use of my substitutions.

I think, with the exception of one or two games, he has been our best player this season. He holds the midfield together and allows Cowie or Tokely/Proctor to get further forward as they know they have cover. I think this is also the reason we have seen the best in Black this season as well.

With Niculae, Bayne, Wyness, McAllister and Garry Wood to also come back do we really need another striker? I think a centre half and a creative left sided midfielder are more important

About 80% of set pieces John Rankin hit never went beyond the first man or went over everyone and out for a goal kick. We do need a set piece taker as we don't have a good one at the moment.

If he's on the pitch then Bazza must take them. The amount of penalties he took and scored during our first season in the SPL shows he is the right choice.

I can remember him saving a Stan Petrov penalty at Pittodrie only for him to score a 20 yarder from the resulting corner.

2 home wins and 2 away draws will do me fine.

Didn't think he was the best player on the pitch either Blackie or Munro or possibly Ikey for THAT save was. But did think he was class today his hold up play and first touch were superb.

I thought for one of the first times Niculae actually held the ball up well and his first touch was very good.

His handling at crosses was superb as well.

Two words - World Class. The fact he then reacted to the rebound made it better.

I think 8/9 points would be more realistic but I believe that McGuire will stay and if he goes I believe that we could start to struggle.

United 1 up

2-1 Gretna Grainger(pen)
