Could go any way.Goals aplenty maybe

Utd 3 - Dandies 3  (Bates x 6)

Peter Pawlett won't be losing any sleep running at and taking on David Bates in the heart of our defence tomorrow. 

[The Gee Man]

Hate to say it must win for SG! Got to be 1-3, with positive attacking football and we actually take our chances! Not interested in data just results/effort. 

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

Pressure is back on and Glass needs a win against the pikeys to calm things down.

Same.

My money is on Clark scoring a consolation goal.

Should be a decent game.

Looking forward to losing my kneecaps in the J K Stand.

Our back 4 gives me the fear.

Might as well go right on the attack from the start. 

We have largely got away with being without arguably our best back 4 in the recent batch of games, right up to the last game.

Even worse, we’re going to the piggery with the same back 4.

PeePaw looks to have rediscovered form lately.  Has looked good in the games I've watch Dundee United this season.

Do we have a best back four? It's a shuffling combination of players who make horrific errors in positioning and ball watching. We must attack and keep the opposition as far away as possible from them.

He certainly looks to have, especially since they beat the scum at Tannadice earlier this season.

He seems to be back to the level he was at, when at his best, with ourselves. 

One other thing, is that he has bulked up since leaving Aberdeen and is not adverse at sticking the boot in and, conversely, being on the receiving end of a tackle.

Aye it brought back memories seeing him in full flight running at defenders again. 

We could use a player like that, someone who is direct and will run at defenders through the middle.

I would take him back in a heartbeat.

As you quite rightly say, we badly need a player of his ilk.

Hedges and Watkins, even Hayes are all far better than Pawlett ever was out with about 2 games.

Fair point min but an in-form Peter Pawlett playing just off of Christian Ramirez with Hedges and Watkins either side of him would be a joy to behold.

New Firm is a terrible term. Hated it back then, it’s laughable now. 

 

 

It was then for sure and it is now.

It was a weegie media term that is now used by the younger members of our own support.

Check out uniteds achievements v ours in the 80's.

Depends.  Needed Robson's wee dinking pass through the advancing defence to be effective.  As we discovered for the 4 painful years after he retired.

Very good point?.

Robson's primary attribute was the ability to hold off an opposition player, with ease, then play, a normally, telling pass.

We certainly miss someone of similar stature in our squad.

Pawlett is more similar to someone like John McGinn in style rather than Hedges who is a totally different type of player.

I mind him scoring in yon winning effort away to st Johnstone one wintry eve ..it felt like he was the next Pele that night...a fucking hero he was - a terrific effort.

Now he plays for the jutes 

 

Life by fuck - hoo mama

Which one, Dad?

The protagonist of the book "Confessions of a Highland Hero", the lad from Santos, or the boy fae Marseille that helped to stop the cheating scum from making the first Champions League final in 1993?

Very good at scoring away from home, Dad, going by his autobiography I read 10 years back?.

Pawlett will have a quiet game tomorrow 

He’ll just need to come out of our players back pocket before they get on the bus back up the road

[AyrshireSheep]

Apparently going to be missing another defender for tomorrow. Might aswell just stick on a pile of strikers. Oh wait we only have fucking 1 of those aswell ?. Regardless of who we are missing this has to be a game we need to take something from. Don't want to go to Celtic Park on the back of 2 defeats.
