And so we reach the stage of the season where our last league game is just a couple of days away. Third place is gone and fourth is by no means certain to be ours. Before a ball was kicked in the summer would we have accepted a semi final, a final and either fourth or fifth place finish. I'd imagine for the bulk of us the answer would have been yes, and whilst I expected ups and downs not sure it would be quite to the extent it has been. One thing is for certain, Jimmy is heading into his third transfer window and it is a crucial one. However, back to the game at Tannadice this Saturday.

We really need to get our act together to avoid defeat here and suspect that the Arabs will go for jugular early doors and have the fear that our team doesn't have the backbone to withstand it and we'll be beaten by half time.

I have no idea what Thelin can do to get a tune out of what is available to him and to be honest not sure he does either.

Thankfully I have a long standing family event on Saturday so won't be there and won't be able to watch it on a stream. This might well prove to be a blessing.

3-0 United 🙄

Not sure why McGrath is playing, has he touched the ball yet??

He's doing alright, hit the bar. He's pulling into the centre when they've got it and then moving wide when we have it. The whole team is working hard. 

What the fuck is Goodwin wearing? Looks like he’s in cosplay as Junior Soorano.

Decent half. Dominated for 35 minutes or so. Working hard, and Clarkson running things again. A really good goal too, a fantastic ball from Clarkson and a great cross from Shinnie, before a nice cutback from Jensen (Devlin would have smashed it into the top corner). 

Decent enough,keep it going.Their keepers distribution's an added bonus

Agree, much of his responsibility is cutting inside and letting Jensen push on. 
don’t agree with Gordon, while the first 30-35 were good we’ve allowed utd to come back into it. We also look poor from throws and crosses as usual, they haven’t scored but they are getting their heads on it and at this rate a goal will come if we don’t win those duels.

Following up on my own gueye comment, he’s been shit the last 15 and a liability, can’t keep the ball, complains, the odd foul etc. much like Morris, why him coming off the bench is prob better.

clarkson and palaversa are our best central midfield combo, both a tidy first half. Need that 10 ahead of them who can get on the ball. 
No reason to sub yet, but Morris for McGrath and dabbagh for gueye allowing nisbet to drop is prob our best option. I’d still prefer polvara to take the 10 behind nisbet but JT doesn’t like that and hasn’t tried it. Topi for okkels as JT likes to freshen up the wingers.

OH dam, that replay with Zerouali scoring... oh how could do with a number 10 like him. 

OOft. Should be 1-1.

Gueye just can’t keep the ball!!!! Sub!

Yep, he was working really hard for the first half hour, then he's regressed. He had absolutely zero idea what to do when Clarkson put him through. Another beautiful ball from Clarkson to Nisbet there too, should be scoring. 

Nisbet has to score! Good play from Clarkson.

Utd will score from a cross, giving them too many ffs.

Need a sub. Morris for Gueye or Polvara for Gueye.

Edit: nah, we wait until they score, as always.

The spark/liveliness has gone. Pretty much all utd now. Subs needed.

And 1-1, momentum all them.

Nisbet scores a second and it’s a different game, instead 1-1. After 30 mins the game changed and we didn’t adapt.

McGrath okkels and gueye off please, topi polvara and morris needed.

penalty utd.

Never a pen, he fell over.

Need to get Palaversa off too. 

2-1 them. Based on recent play game is over. Shame, it was good for 30 mins.

Changes after the goals. Fucking criminal.

Fucking fuck me.

Talking of criminal changes…

Tells you we are desperate, and the lack of ability in the squad, on come Dabbagh and Ambrose.

5th, a cup final, and Europe. Decent season. Not looking forward to next week. Have a good weekend everyone.

Suprised Ambrose is coming on, had assumed Thelin was keeping him back as our cup final secret weapon.
