Didn't Ali Crawford sign a long term contract after he scored against Celtic? Would be expensive to break him out of that one I would imagine. I still think Gavin Reilly of Queen of the south would suit our mould and would definitely have long term value for the club if sold on etc.

But we have a game in hand over them.

According to Soccerbase, Josh has only had three yellow cards this season. I'm assuming the one match ban was relating to the 'handball' incident.

It would have been great to have the same team as last Sunday but with Draper being suspended, I would replace him with Tremarco and put Shinnie in centre midfield.

Not surprised as he was rumoured to leave before but he hasn't featured in a long time (except the rare appearance a couple weeks back)

Any idea on our scorers?

FT 3-3

Dundee just scored a penalty: 3-3

We are currently winning 3-2.

Was listening to Sportsound last night and Yogi was on air with them and he did say that 4/5 players may not be staying with the club next which also may include Edward Ofere and Tarmo Kink. I would fully expect Ofere to be here next season unless another team offers more money than us for him, I'm not so sure about Kink. There's been word of Nick Ross to Ross County (Which is in the rumour thread) and he was also quoted in the newspaper at the weekend that he looked like leaving. I'm not so sure Daniel Devine will stay, I wouldn't blame him either with the lack of game time. You also have Horner and Polworth, they may probably stay due to them being quite young still.

It could also be in Dundee United's interest that we finish third and then go on to win the cup if they cannot get ahead of us. Should make an interesting end to the season!

I reckon Josh Meekings would be a good choice.

That's a blow, Draper has been fairly decent recently especially last Saturday. Least we will have Danny Williams/Graeme Shinnie who can fit in or we might give Liam Polworth a chance.

I'm happy with Dundee United's next three games, they have Aberdeen away, Celtic at home then Aberdeen at home

Fixtures are out: 25th April: Aberdeen (H) 2nd May: St Johnstone (A) 9th May: Dundee (A) 16th May: Dundee United (H) 24th May: Celtic (A) 12:30 KO

There are better options out there than Liam Boyce. Kudos to him getting a hat-trick last night but every time we have played against County, I have never really noticed him on the pitch. If we were to look at a County player, I wouldn't mind Michael Gardyne. The championship is an area I would definitely look - James Keatings is a great shout. I would take a few from that league such as Gavin Reilly, Jason Cummings, Dominique Malonga, Calum Gallagher. - Unfortunately they wouldn't come cheap.

For best view, I'd suggest the south stand. Not sure where most of our fans are going to be situated.

I'd rather Ofere stay with us.Get to the Cup Final and we might be in a position to make offers to both... Maybe so but I suspect Boyce will attract interest from other clubs and County for next season. I don't think he will be the type of player Yogi would be interested in. Whilst scoring a hat trick is a great thing, it was against a woeful St Mirren side. - Mckay would have done the same.

I'd rather Ofere stay with us.

Not at the game but Celtic currently leading 2-0

Can't see Celtic coming back to us and also with our outstanding game with United is at home, I'd suspect the split game will be away therefore: Dundee United H/A Celtic A Aberdeen H St Johnstone A Dundee H

What a difference from Wednesday night. I thought we were more tighter at the back and I thought going forward we were more active than we have been the last few months. I agree about Ofere fading towards the end but that's to be expected due to him having a long time away from the game. Looking forward to next week!

A difficult game we are facing tomorrow in Celtic who have Gary Mackay-Stevens and Stuart Armstrong available to them. How should we approach this one given our recent form? I'm thinking a 4-4-1-1: Esson Raven Warren Meekings Shinnie Ross Tansey Draper Williams Watkins Ofere

I was at the game tonight and it was pretty much a continuation of our recent matches but it wasn't the worst we've played in the last couple of months. I felt that the system that the players had been asked to do tonight let them down. We spent most of the time when we had pocession of the ball in our own half. In my opinion the first half especially if Aberdeen weren't just hitting hopeless shots on goal, we could've been down by two or three goals before half time. I was quite amazed at the amount of time and space that Willo Flood was given considering most of their counter attacking play starts from him, he dominated the game IMO - Can't afford to let Scott Brown do that to us on Saturday. Shay Logan was another that I was really impressed with how fast he just darted through Doran and Shinnie. A lot has been said about Watkins and how he is not a striker etc. I really don't buy into that theory because in all honesty I really think he can play up front because he can hold off defenders really well and has the pace to back them off but he just has nobody to support him and to play Doran up there with him wasn't the answer either. Seriously, Ofere and Watkins need to be given the chance to form a partnership. Hopefully tonight's viewing will make Yogi go back to the drawing board because we need something to bring back the winning formula, can't keep relying too much on Dundee United's downfall.
