RandomGuy Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, R.B.B:- Adz said: He should have put some more effort into signing a centre half in January then. The centre backs at the club at the moment are dire. For a man who apparently prides himself on defending and managing clubs who are hard to score against, he is putting a lot of faith in 4/5 very average defenders. Andy Considine will be 37 years old in a few weeks. Liam Gordon is very limited. Ryan McGowan is a converted right back who will be 35 years old in the summer. Luke Robinson is a rookie learning his trade while having his role chopped and changed weekly. Tony Gallagher is just simply a championship player. He did sign Kerr Smith tbf.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 (edited) 30 minutes ago, RandomGuy said: He did sign Kerr Smith tbf. Sort of my point though. He signed Kerr Smith you would assume as an upgrade on Gordon or Considine. He signed Keltjens as an upgrade on Brown or McGowan. He brought Robinson back as an upgrade on Gallagher. HOWEVER, we are yet to see a starting defence that doesn’t contain McGowan, Gallagher and Gordon or Considine in it since he signed those three. What’s the point!

dave mc Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Kerr Smith looks miles off it, as did Dare at fb, which hasn’t been his position in his career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setting Son Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Sam looks a decent signing as well . Hopefully gets game time at United . I find it bizarre you bring in Kerr Smith and put Sam McClelland out on loan Cagey, dave mc and pezza70 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I wasnt overly impressed by Kerr Smith v Dundee, tbh. You can tell hes been playing youth football for a while and the speed of the game caught him out. A few times he took too long to do something with the ball as he didnt expect pressured so quickly. McClelland i didnt overly like either. Agonisingly slow, to the point id say Considine is quicker. Interested to see how regular games at United makes him look.

Two Cups 2021 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Feel like Levein keeps changing players positions, which doesn't help them to settle in one position. E.G. Played Max left midfield, yet he scored twice against the Fun earlier in the season when played on the right. Setting Son 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I think if McClelland gets a decent amount of game time at United then the move will have been beneficial for him. I still think we probably should have done the same with Olufunwa. Max too, in fact. I think all three of them would benefit from playing regularly in the Championship and then coming back here in the summer. I'm not convinced Kerr Smith is going to start all that many games for us, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think we could have loaned out Olufunwa - would have left us relying on Gowser, Considine, Gordon and Keltjens to cover 3 centre halves plus fullback/wingback roles. Given the heavy fixture list, lack of match sharpness for Keltjens and the likelihood of one or more of them picking up suspensions Olufunwa is a good player to have for cover.

I agree now, but only because we chose to make a more experienced right-back surplus to requirements and loan him out. Personally I think it would have been a better long-term plan to hold onto Brown until the end of the season as back-up, and let Olufunwa go out on loan to get experience.
