milo Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 If we allow Utd's centre halves to advance into our half like we did against Aberdeen, give them time to turn like we did against Aberdeen, put no pressure on the ball like we did Aberdeen and defend as deep as we did against Aberdeen then we'll get fucked. Address those issues and you never know however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I think it'll be a good a open game 3-3, 3-2 victory somethin like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwellhighland Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 So just me that thought Dundee Utd were pretty rubbish on Sunday and got lucky 2-1 well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammer Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 So just me that thought Dundee Utd were pretty rubbish on Sunday and got lucky To be fair I only watched the first half but I thought United played quite well. Apart from McGeady, I didn't see the huge gulf in class that Mowbray was talking about after the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickoza Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Is it wrong to suggest Shellic made United look particularly good on Sunday? Shellic were awful at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweed Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 If we play to our best and United play to their best then it will be a cracking close game. United have more depth than us and more experience than us so over the course of a season I would expect them to come about eight to twelve points ahead of us. However its close enough that in any one off game we can beat them. We just need to make sure Saturday is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab_mackinnon Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 They are a good team no doubt about it. But apart from there 2 headed goals they invited celtic onto them the whole game and defended well. When myrie williams found space he looked good but didn't have much of an end product and as for cadamarteri and yon argentinian they had no impact on the game whatsoever. They are a counter attacking team that are good at set pieces they will allow us to set the pace of the game and feel confident of keeping a clean sheet. Honestly if we don't give away set pieces and manage to get 2 goals to the good they will be cannon fodder. I'd feel more than confident defending a lead against them, they only got there 2 goals on sunday because celtics defending was to say the least shambolic.

Joeboy Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 We are only 6 (SIX!) points off the top. Six points we could have made with the conversion of penalties and ability to use an extra man! We would be flying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Seriously, even by football discussion standards, the "if we had taken that chance we'd have won" argument is baseless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwellhighland Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I'm fairly confident if we'd scored the pens against Rangers and Hamilton we'd be 4 points better off. The Hamilton one fired up their ten men whereas it should have deflated them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I am also a wee bit scared of this one. Sadly, I think this is our best chance of winning a game in the next FOUR. Fingers crossed for a win. I'm going for 3-2 to us!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yir Elder Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Whilst the next four games will show us how far we've come, they will in no way make or break our season. Certainly if we can amass 6 points or more then that will be fantastic and we'll be right in the European hunt. As regards the United game I expect it to be close, they almost always are. I'm not sure about team changes for this weekend, although it will be tempting to restore O'Brien to the starting X1. If so who gets left out? For me it's the same team and a 2-1 win for us. Hoping for a Sutty opener and a winner from big Giles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellTiliDie Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I expect them to beat us quite comfortably on Saturday by 2 or 3 goals. They are a far better team than what we are and don't have many weaknesses. As for the line up i would drop Sutton and bring in O'Brien, hopefully he can win us a penalty again.

Guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 They were very poor against Celtic on Saturday and won due to the fact that Celtics centre-halfs should have their own benny hill music. Definitely winnable, I'd use O'Brien and the Hump (is he fit?) to get right at their full backs. Dixon is prone to mistakes and Kovacevic is lumbering at best.
