Good post and surprised that the state of the pitch has only just been brought up. The ball was bobbling across the pitch and you could see the players were struggling to get it under control and play the way they normally do. The pitch needed water to make the ball move quicker but I suspect it suited East Fife to stop us playing quickly hence why it was left dry. The frustration on Saturday was that the coaching staff didn't adapt to this and whilst many are saying there were too many aimless passes up the pitch, I actually felt we persisted with our normal passing style for too long which meant the likes of Allan, Stewart & McLeod couldn't dictate play the way they normally do and were often caught out with poor touches or slack passes. We should have gone more direct, playing off Zimba and Alonge and pushed the midfield higher up the pitch to play off second balls. All in all, a frustrating and disappointing afternoon.

Does anyone know if there's plans for a display like we had in 2015/

Get this pinned up in the changing room #underdogmentality

My point is that I've seen fans showing interest in numerous Dundee Utd players that as stated, made up a large part of the squad that weren't good enough for the Premiership. P.s - The SPFL stands for the Scottish Professional Football League which Dundee Utd are still a part of. The Premiership is the league table that our club participates in. Hope this clears it up for you.

I'm amazed how many people are suggesting we sign the same Dundee Utd players that weren't good enough for the Premiership this season...

Biggest mistake today was tactically. Yogi started with a 3-5-2 shape that looked to cut out playing through the midfield. This resulted in passing between the back three plus keeper before aiming long passes into the channels for Storey and Roberts to chase, hold up and allow the 'advanced' midfielders to get forward and support. Although this worked well for the first 10 minutes, winning several corners, it quickly went wrong as Hibs pressed us high up the pitch and stopped our back three having any kind of out ball. I have only ever seen us play this way once, away vs Partick Thistle last season where it didn't work, and it certainly didn't work today. Tactic 1 (3-5-2): Fon Williams Warren Devine Tremarco Tansey Vigurs Polworth Draper Williams Roberts Storey Worryingly, it took Yogi 70 minutes until he recognised change was needed. Credit where credit is due though, the subs changed the game for us and we looked much better thereafter. We moved to our favoured 4-2-3-1 and suddenly the defence had more time on the ball and could pick out shorter passes and play through Tansey and Draper. For example, Horner took a Hibs player away, creating room for Warren to move into who played a good pass into Mutombo in the build up to our goal. Tactic 2 (4-2-3-1): Fon Williams Horner Warren Devine Tremarco Tansey Draper Storey Mutombo Williams Roberts In my view, we're very fortunate to still be in the cup but we'll take it. Theres a great chance for another cup final but Yogi needs to find a system that gets us looking more dangerous without opening up at the back too much. For me, Storey isn't the centre forward that we can use in a 4-2-3-1 and the sooner we get Fisher back fit, the better.

Hughes said: “Dean is getting closer. I said many months ago I reckoned it would be the end of February before he’d be looking for games. “He’s working hard and he’s getting there. He’s starting to look good and he’s now doing a lot of specific stuff which is good news for him. “We’ve got a decision to make on who will be the goalkeeper next year. “It will be one or the other, I don’t think we’ve got the finance to keep the two of them but that decision is for a couple of months’ time. “It’s the way football goes. That’s what’s good about it, when we’ve got competition for places it really pushes people along to give it their best shot.”

Ridiculous post!

Couldn't help but notice that Owain Fon Williams has new followers on twitter...namely David Raven, Greg Tansey & James Vincent. I think we have a new goalie...

Brilliant work from the media team - what progress we've made!

Ryan Christie is undoubtadly one of the brightest prospects playing in the SPFL just now - his and Mckay's link up play today was superb. Hope we can hold on to him for a few more years. He certainly has the potential to do what Ryan Guald has done
