HertsSaintee Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Sod it. First game this season I won't make as I'm going to be in Cardiff all week. Del should perhaps go with as few changes as possible for consistencys sake on Wednesday bar McCaffrey if he's fit for Gartland. The important thing As always coming off games against either of the OF is our approach and attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSaint Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 The important thing As always coming off games against either of the OF is our approach and attitude. I think Dell has done a good job this season of focussing the team after defeat against the OF. Caf for Gartland and Sheridan for Deuchar (who had a good game against Celtic for his standards).

chopper Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 14 days here as well chopper. 3.7.4 Any period of suspension incurred by a player as a result of his having accumulated 18 or more penalty points, shall commence on the 14th day following the date of the offence which resulted in the incurring of the suspension. The suspension shall apply until such time as the requisite number of matches have been completed by his club in the competition in which the suspension was incurred, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 3.8. I stand corrected - however the cup ties mean the original point is still accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chansey Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 What are the chances of a new CB being signed before Wednesday? Ando did alright when he came on yesterday, but I fear a new CB will be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_polster Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Badfanny has been playing well in the past few games and he will need to be given plenty attention, not a job I feel Ando is suited too but I felt he did alright on Sunday. Maybe McCaffrey would be better suited to this. Plenty folk seem to be recognising the improvement in Doc's game on Sunday so does he deserve to keep his place in the team with Sheridan on the bench? I wanted to start with Peaso on Sunday but felt Savo did better than expect. Based on this I'd go with Savo to start. Do we have room for a big and small striker on the bench as well as 2 under 21s? I'd go with this: Smith Irvine Mackay McCaffrey Grainger Millar Moon Morris Craig Deuchar Savo SUBS: Main, Ando, Davidson, Sheridan, Peaso, Reynolds, May Hmm, means leaving out Morais, In that case I'd take one of the forwards off the bench as Morais can play an attacking role. Good to have a problem with too many forwards for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Aw come on ,There is no way we should be going there looking for any less than a win. They are not half as good as Celtic & they will be missing the *** at centre back. If we keep Irvine at right back though we will get gubbed.

Chuck Norris Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Ando can play anywhere in defense, but he's best on the right hand side, either of a central pairing or as RB. I'm not sure you've seen Anderson outside of centre half. As a full-back he is absolutely abysmal. On his day he's the best centre half at the club, when given a run in the team.

Radford 72 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 United have really bounced back well from a couple of bad results and will be a team full of confidence. I caught a chunk of their game yesterday and they bossed the middle of the park (best midfield outside of the Old Firm IMO) and Goodwillie looked like he's in the groove at the moment. Whoever plays at the back for them, they'll deal with aerial balls all day long and they'll press and work in the midfield to try and make us play that way. It'll be a really tough game for us but at the same time, we shouldn't forget we knocked them out of the Co-op Cup with a team that was missing several key players and the league match at McDiarmid was close as well from what I remember. First goal is always crucial but we need to ensure we don't conced early and give them any added confidence. I don't think you can ever take too much of a dunt in your own belief after losing to the Old Firm and we'd had a few decent results of our own prior to the Celtic match. We need to pass the ball about and as such need to compete with them in the midfield so I wouldn't change the four from yesterday, although there might be a temptation to play Moon instead of Davidson to try and rotate these two over the next few weeks with so many games coming up. Anderson in for Gartland at the back for me. Said it before but I'd probably have McCaffrey at the bottom of the pecking order as in my eyes he's struggled whenever he's come up against a player with either power or pace this season. Would keep Milne in the attack, paired with one of the three other options. Deuchar, as expected, didn't get much out of the United defence the first time we played them (although did create our first and win the FK for our second) but I think got more in the cup game and obviously had a good showing yesterday. MacDonald was obviously terrific at Motherwell though. Don't know enough about Sheridan but would probably say he's got to earn his place in the side from the bench. Smith Irvine - Mackay - Anderson - Grainger Millar - Morris - Davidson/Moon - Craig Milne - Deuchar/MacDonald Subbies: Main, McCaffrey, Moon/Davidson, Morais, Deuchar/MacDonald, Sheridan, Jackson.

On his day he's the best centre half at the club, when given a run in the team. I think Anderson can do a job at full back in the big games against top class opponents, where the onus is very much on him to defend. His problem is obviously he's a centre back and isn't going to offer much bursting up the line. I thought, for example, he did really well against McGeady in the Scottish Cup a few years ago and also against Corcoran when St Mirren came to town in the same competition the next year. It's a bit like when Sturrock used to play Stuart McCluskey at right back against the Old Firm and he'd always look the part there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Rourke Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I wonder if Houstie will follow Levein's lead and stick Lee Wilkie (if fit) up front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickDT Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 As Radford has said United's midfield is very strong and we will have to win the battle in the middle of the park to take anything out of this one. I'd opt for Moon's passing ability over Davidson's fight. Yesterday convinced me Grainger simply isn't good enough, but with no other option, he stays in the team. My personal team- Smith Irvine-MacKay-Caff-Grainger Morais-Morris-Moon-Craig Deuchar-Savo Subs- Main, Anderson, Millar, Sheridan, Jackson, Peaso, Davidson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_polster Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 That sounded much harsher than I meant it to. Luckily I read this before posting a reply to the original post! My bench has two strikers that are likely to get a game, and I then went on to say I'd maybe drop one for Morais. I'll accept your apology.
