St Mirren V Dundee Utd, 26Th Dec 2013

[Dare]

When Goodwin has been out of the team weve been toothless in midfield. Despite his often stupid behaviour,Goodwin does the protection stuff well & lets our creative players play.

I agree when Goodwin is on his game he is an asset to us - just think that games have been passing him by recently and we are being over run in midfield because of it.

[billyg]

I did say WE SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO BEAT, of course we could win the

game, but do you EXPECT us to win, ya numpty....

Woooooosh , ya cock ....................

A very hard task this , with 1 home victory in the last 23 ! against them.

[scrappy coco]

We often beat the best Dundee Utd team ever , even in cup-finals , it's you who needs to get a grip if you're happy with the inconsistent pish being served up just now !

Iv'e been a fan for over 35years and you could count in the 1 hand the amount

of years we've been better than inconsistent, but there's been plenty of years

when we've been consistent, "consistently shite", for a team that has one of the

lowest home crowds and budgets, and a board that wont spend a penny more

than comes into the club i think sitting 8th in the league and a national cup in the

trophy cabinet is pretty good going, some might say i lack ambition but i would say

i'm just realistic,,, as for you, feck knows how you ever made it through the 90s.....

[Gordon Urquhart]

Hopefully we can make this a shitstorm of a game and keep the goals down.

Danny, get everyone who plays in their most natural position and get right intae them.

Low scoring 1-1 draw.

Typical comment, I go, I'm better, end of.

TBH it's attitudes like that which put me off going, sitting among the bile and pish that spews from so called supporters, nah, I'm fine being away up here away from that so called support.

I rest my case.

The highlighted bits aren't important, only for my amusement.

Let's leave this "supporter of the year", I'll let you know my next game, make sure you sit miles away, I don't need the game spoiled.

faraway seems to get very upset when real supporters point out to him that they pay their money and are entitled to criticise. He gets even more upset when its pointed out to him that he's not a real supporter!

[ged62]

Again faraway, I'm not a boo boy so wouldn't spoil your game, plus I'm a ST holder have been for years, not like you. Love how you come on and speak about games that you're not at. Coz you read about it or heard from second hand on radio, so I think you should just quiet. Gives a shout when you do attend a game and we will discuss it, sorted again.

Oh dear, another post that shows you're not all there.

I Love the "I'm a ST holder so I'm better than you" posts, really hilarious.

Check around and you'll soon see I don't comment on specifics of any games I don't attend. I was at Aberdeen the other week and commented as such.

I do, however, comment on dafty posts, coming from people who are so blinkered and narrow minded I'm surprised they can get out of the house in the morning.

I think we should end this, you're incapable of seeing anything but your narrow view.

PS Don't get all excited by Isabella, if you paid attention you'd notice nobody listens to him either.

[ged62]

I'm wondering what your first language is because it sure as hell doesn't appear to be English.

You're right about Faraway's posts though. At least I think you are. TBH I'm struggling to follow any of that post.

Naismith. McGregor. Cheesy. Kelly

Newton. McLean

Dear Danny,

Of course you don't have to play this formation or these players, it's just my preferred option, I'd still be happy if you played Mair instead of Darren or cheesy and I admit Goodwin adds bite to the midfield but he's having a wee run of poor games.I'd be more than happy to drop Reilly if Teale was fit or you saw something in training that suggests that caprice would be a better option. The only thing I really insist on is that you stop trying to put Harkins and Gowser in the same team. Harkins may still turn out to be a good signing should Gowser be unavailable in January but they can't play together.

Cheers

Dear Santa

Three points please, I've been good all year

Cheers

COYS.

I'd just love to see us score a goal.

Has the Christmas spirit finally caught up with you,Oaky? You were almost civil there. Were you being nice to Faraway?

Rick, don't worry about Oakey, get yourself over to the "Caption" thread.

You're a cert to come up with the winning funny.

For this game I hope DL realises that we need to cover the wings (and I don't mean a 747). I have noticed the last few games that teams have a man wide right/left and we lack cover. Newton showed on Saturday that he drifted into centre mid and then had to back track fast to cover the guy on the wing. I am not criticising Newton here, only using it as an example as it happened on both wings. If a FB goes forward, a midfielder should drop back to cover that area. We were left badly exposed with 2 CBs, while the backs had gone forward, with no cover at all, and hence a big part of the defeat

[murray street]

I was going to come up for this one, nasty feeling we are hitting another slump, seems like danny is fart arsing around again, not going to waste money while he experiments with the team.

[Lex]

Drop Harkins and play McGowan further forward.

I never thought I'd have to say that again...

I'd agree with this. United play a 4-2-3-1, and their threat is with their four attacking players. I'd match up, play 4-2-3-1, DVZ in right mid, Grainger left mid, with both of them helping out Naismith / Kelly, Newton and McGinn in the holding roles in midfield, and McGowan further forward, in an attacking midfield role. I'd drop Goodwin and Harkins and McLean would miss out for tactical reasons. This would mean each of Utd's best players would have two players to contend with. When we have the ball, we'd need to use the wings to get at them, plenty of crosses into the box as I think United's vulnerabilities are at the back.

I'm loving them line up's...........................here's our replacement manager, Lennon out.

[bigjerseybuddie]

Whatever the result this has the potential to be a cracking game of football and I truly wish I was there to see it. Dundee utd have got some exciting young players but so have we. In the few games I've seen, John McGinn has the potential to go to the very top. His style and attitude remind me of players in years gone by. He is the kind of player I would include even when he is off the boil, he has that bit of magic you might only need once in a game. You might have gathered he is my favourite saint at the moment! Anyway, back to the game. If we win this tomorrow it would be a huge confidence booster for us. I just worry that if utd score the first goal our heads will go down which seems to have happened the last couple of games. Let's take the game to them, score first and we are on our way! COYS!

[BaldyOzBud]

I can't count the times I've been striding dejectedly up love street, or greenhill road thinking that I can't see where our next win is coming from, only to be confounded and delighted by a sudden and inexplicable form reversal. We are the Paisley Saints and an unlikely win is due. I've not managed a game this season by virtue of the fact that I now live on the other side of the planet, but I live in hope... COYS.. I'm now off for a midnight swim and a cold cold beer, life is soo feckin hard down here.
