I reckon he is so anti-another keeper like Kelly that he would rather bring back Marshall should Gordon be unavailable. Dont understand his thinking at all.
I completely agree with you about Moult, Aarons, Shields and particularly Maguire, on top of that I think our most disappointing player is Slattery who I think is going through the motions.
Dundee United have been worse than us so far so why you can predict such a tanking is beyond reason. We lost 4-0 at home to Celtic, I believe United shipped 7 to them. 4-1 is nonsense! I am not saying we wont lose but come on lighten up.
I dont think our centre backs are up to much but imo the second goal was down to McGinn allowing the Aberdeen left back get in behind him because of loss of concentration.
I agree with what you are saying, my comment would be that I dont think Van Veen is a sole target man and needs someone to play that role beside him, god only knows who if Moult isnt fit.
I dont really dissagree with 3-5-2 but, given our centre back situation, I personally would play McGinn in the back 3 with O'Donnell on the right of a five.
