Injuries and suspensions will mean we have to utilise a few others outwith that core, but as a consequence we cannot expect performances to be as good, although maybe results might not suffer too badly, given that those players would likely be starters for most other teams in the league. But in general, if it aint broke, don't fix it. In 82/83 Dundee United won the league using 14 players all season. (that was obviously the Gothenburg season in which we suffered a ridiculous amount of injuries from November onwards, including Kennedy's career ender. We made no secret of concentrating on the ECWC after beating Bayern so the league wasn't abandoned but became a definite secondary target...we ended up third but we could still have won it on the final day had results gone our way elsewhere). So rotation, whilst the norm nowadays, doesn't always prove to be necessary. I’d be a little more generous than just 17/18. Especially middle to front. not implying we could field two sides as such or change too much in one go but with 5 subs we can certainly rotate a lot if done wisely. Kennedy. McGinn. McClennan (spelling lol) Cosgrove. Edmundson. Anderson. Campbell. Hernandez. Logan. Even Taylor Ojo maybe more. All missing from start Thurs edit also Main Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Only area where I can foresee potential injury problems affecting side badly is in central defence. Well covered all over but Considine or Hoban, or Even McKenna (he’s been good this far tbf this season) get injured & we could see massive impact in side/confidence Link to comment

Be interesting to see how we line up in the next games against celtic and sevco. 1 1 Link to comment

He had at least 4 transfer windows to right these wrongs, but he didn't... ergo, we can hold judgement. ? Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Every team seems to be giving Celtic a game right now, so if Mcinnes reverts to type & sets up to shite it he should be sacked on spot. No excuse not to continue the way things are now as it’s working Link to comment

You saying the players were ignoring the instructions he gave week in week out, and he tolerated it? It is exactly what he was telling players to do. 2 Link to comment

Tord31 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 McInnes must stay. Every manager has a shelf life. Soon but not yet. Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Aye sleekit cunt had duped folk again, he has been lucky to now always digs out a result when needed, His shelf life has expired and despite the upturn in results of late, they are just papers over a crack Link to comment

Simosmashed my knee Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Unfortunately McIness will be here for the foreseeable We will get dumped out of Europe on Thursday when we have the best change in years to make the group stages but he will hang on in there His signings were shocking today Ojo and Taylor should never wear the shirt again Link to comment

Basically exempting Mcinnes of all blame. That didn’t look like a side that (up to yesterday) had been allowed to play with ‘a lot more freedom’ as few players have stated lately. that looked like a typical side tinkered with & confused into bombscares, most likely due to the fear of Taylor’s reintroduction Link to comment
Fridge Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I’m not exempting him from blame, he picks the team and is ultimately responsible but it wasn’t directly his fault for that shambles. Players need to take responsibility for that. Link to comment
afc1903mad Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 There a lot of people wetting themselves because of this poor result. I have no doubt that McKenna being withdrawn the morning of the game had an impact, but we also had the worst luck / start which played right into Motherwells strategy. Goal no 1, technically was a pen, but was nowhere near being deliberate. I'm not even convinced that Watkins was deliberately making his body bigger, it was just his natural method of balance in that moment. This was quickly followed up by goal no 2, which to be fair was great pressing by Motherwell, but uncharacteristic for Lewis to fluff that straight to the boy Long. So were 2-0 down, having to chase the game and allows Motherwell to sit in, counter us, which they were good at. The third goal was directly contributed to McKenna being absent. He was tasked with picking up the boy Mugabi, which in turn fell upon McCrorie to do. He was out muscled (fouled actually) to give them the gloss on the result. It was as some have put it, a bad day at the office, lets see how we respond in the coming games 1 Link to comment

We started the season with 8 straight wins once and the same hysteria occurred then. It won't change until the manager changes. It's that simple. He's a loser. He can't help himself. I remember the 8 wins in a row. Everything was going fine until McInnes, made sure everyone knew he didnt subscribe to "if it ain't broke don't fix it". He displayed his genius by parachuting Josh fucking Parker into the starting line up. Cue the first defeat of the season. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I’m hoping this was basically his last chance & he was asked to play a more exciting brand of football rather than the predominantly turgid stuff he often resorts to. basically Cormack (& possibly others) thinking the fans (Some but not all) were getting fed up of his style, so was asked to change it up. Interesting to see how he moves forward from here. obviously I am speculating but hoping this was case Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 No offence to Lewis but few more decent games from McCrorie (or once fully our player) & Mcinnes should maybe make him captain with Ferguson, Hayes, or Considine as vice captain. Ferguson probably makes most sense for vice captain because of age. Unless Hoban is here long term. Few decent options tbf but preferably central defence & midfield. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 The old proper training facilities jinx strikes again. Maybe we could get a junkie dog at Cormack Park, leave a few needles and shites about the place, get us back to what we're accustomed to.

But for this season it would be quite horrible when our captain can't play against the huns because he is in fact still a hun. Link to comment
