I wouldn't say so, no. We need someone who can pick out a pass and read the game well. I think he's been brought in with the intention of giving him a prolonged run in the team, which is why he's been given a three year deal. Alexander seemed very happy to have brought him in, and claimed he'd been talking to him for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only midfielder that looks like he knows what he's doing. Once he had 6 months first team action under his belt he'll be undroppable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GawnUpBy? Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Dundee United going about their business very quietly. I’ll be delighted with a point. As for the team, who knows? Do we move Grimshaw to right back and bring in Donnelly? Not sure if I’m comfortable with Mugabi at right back although he was a solid 6/10 when he was out there. O’Donnell’s performances haven’t been good enough but I think we sometimes forget he barely had a pre season with his Scotland duty plus injury afterwards.

If we get some players of similar quality around him or increase the numbers around him to give him some support we might get to see how good he can be. Hard to look good when you are carrying a whole midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, he's still getting up to speed with Scottish football as mentioned, but he does have the look of someone who can read the game and actually play football. We signed him on a three year deal for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Slattery is a very good player. He does the simple things well without being spectacular and will be a key part of our team this season. As for Saturday I don’t see us getting anything sadly. 4-1 home win.

steelboy Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I'll take a point on Saturday. If Big Sondre is fit get him in the team. Get Carroll back in because McGinley is a headless chicken when he steps over halfway and we need set piece delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Dundee United have the most clean sheets in the division but the only time they've scored more than once at home this season was against Elgin City in the league cup. The 3-0 win against Hibs last week was a great result but in terms of goal scoring it's a bit of an anomaly. I'd expect this match to be fairly close but the form shows if we can score we'll have a decent chance of getting something out the game. To be honest I'm more concerned about our form than Dundee United. Started the season well but we've gone into a wee dip in the last few games and it's important we don't let that continue, especially since we haven't scored in the last two. The main improvement we'd shown was we were taking our chances and scoring regularly and I wouldn't want to see that slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
