Won 11 drew 3 lost 4
Without Reynolds
Other 31 matches 8 cleansheets* 37 conceded

Won 8 drew 4 lost 3
Without Connolly
Other 34 matches 10 cleansheets* 39 conceded
Won 17 drew 9 lost 8

*Elgin & Montrose included


Made a difference and more than capable of doing well for us in this division, although I prefer Reynolds/Bouhenna overall

Not in defence but the key improvement/combination for us is when Butcher and Harkes both start together as our cm pairing

Butcher & Harkes starting together since start of Feb
11 matches
Won 8 drew 2 lost 1

Any Funster watching our play off games will have taken heart from the lack of composure shown from our two central defenders.To here a Dundee United defender screaming to his keeper NO,NO,NO when there was not an attacking player near him was humiliating,Connolly makes Durnan look a player to be honest.
The best central defender on the pitch in the play off final was 33 year old Gary MacKenzie and he was FN stinking at his peak,FACT.

Durnan? Now there is a classic example of a defender who isn't very good at actually defending!

[MagicMugs]

Well i go back to the Doug Smith era and barring other central defenders since relegation at Dens i cannot think of many who are as bad on the ball,or just didnt want the ball to match the two you mention.I have had the privilege to play with central defenders who could chest the ball down and spray passes from the back that the latter could only dream about and they never earned a penny from the game,FACT.

Not wanting to disagree, but everyone always forgets Armand Benneker signed as a centre half for Utd.
With his flowing blonde locks....and void of any footballing skill.

He is always my all time worst ever Utd defender.

Thinking back Terry you are right,i have taken it too far mate.

[offshore_arab83]

I think the word 'bombscare' was used for most of the season. Four decent play-off games does not a goalkeeper make.

agreed a million percent

[offshore_arab83]

Any team looking for a decent keeper would of course be interested if they had been scouting him in the last month or so, particularly in the playoffs.

He's been really good in them.

Take these 4 games away and well, if Offshore is sorting his travel, i'll help pack his bags.

hello Wullie, good to see you back mate!!!

McMullan's had about the same number of decent games but no one's on about getting rid of him?

Julian Alsford was worse IMO

[offshore_arab83]

McMullan's had about the same number of decent games but no one's on about getting rid if him?

i wouldnt have gave him a deal and everyone knows that, especially his best pal on here
P.S yer bang right Stokey!!!

Edit to add - no ones rumoured of being interested in him, wonder why....
