    As Brian Clough used to say "when I want your opinion I'll give you it! "
    It's all about opinions, that's what makes the board interesting. It's mine but I never said it was fact 😊

    So.... you happy to see the ball punted to a solo striker up front? Crack on with that.

    It all helps. The best managers pick the right team, right formation. Get the team playing well.

    A good, attacking style of play with players showing they care and putting in effort brings in the fans.

    No reason in this league why we should be scared of anyone. A solid defence and a team full of goals and able to attack will not go far wrong.

    We all want united to win. Usually the best way to win consistently is to be an attacking threat and be full of goals. That’s also the best for us to watch

    Team in place firs then lets see where we go from there!

    With Edje and Murdoch/Scobbie for defence at the minute, i think we will need to play our attackers as defenders for now!

    If we win then I really don't care.

    Well we didn't win enough games to get promoted last year did we? So I rest my case T

    And it was all down to the formation? I don't think so, more to do with the quality and attitude of the players, most of whom knew they'd be leaving at the end of the season.

    It was down to a variety of things but you just won't admit it to yourself.

    The Chairman
    The toxic atmosphere
    The managers eye for a player
    The line ups he chose
    Inability to coach ball retention
    Playing Scott McDonald up front alone
    Then playing Mikkelson up front alone and playing McDonald deep
    No width
    Baffling substitutions
    Unable to change games early
    Sticking with Lewis when shot
    and many more, possibly including losing the dressing room
    but also
    4231

    Did I mention that? So it was imo a factor. It's not the only factor but you can't just dismiss it and say it had nothing to do with it because it was also a factor under other managers too.

    Being down to a variety of things is exactly what I was saying, glad we can agree on something tonight. 🙂
