Michael Forbes signed.

I quite like the idea of the keeper to be the competition for Walton to be older than him. It has been mentioned we are looking at Sinclair of St Johnstone who at twenty-five has not played that much football. Played on loan at St Mirren at the end of last season who are also after him.

If Sinclair is looking to play I doubt he’ll come to us. Time will tell I suppose.

Can we have this Cape Verde keeper please? 40 years old plays in Portugals 2nd league and man of the match so far v Spain

According the to Scott burns. He will be signing and is pacy. 🤞

Michael Forbes, 22 years old, a left centre-half, left back is supposedly signing for us. Northern Ireland international and recently released by West Ham. Sounds a lot like David Partridge, might we have a centre-half with a bit of dig and a bit of pace? Still need a 30 plus age centre-half to marshal the backline. I wonder what the chances of further caps for him would be like as Michael O'Neill is building a NI team with a lot of youth in it just now that is getting plenty of plaudits.

See what would be good a forward pairing of a Daly/Goodwillie Daly/Russell combination. Two forwards to occupy the opponents central defenders. These days at Tannadice and away from home these defenders get too easy a ride from us.

He has to be a lot better than Watters was hopefully.

That won't be hard.

To be fair to the guy, he did put in a decent shift, but that was not what we needed to make the difference.

We need a stiker to focus on, or it's going to be much of the same (I dread)

You need to have a real striker/s in the box, in the right place, at the right time, when a conventional winger (if there even is such a thing nowadays) gets past the full-back and fires the ball in. Without that, inverted wingers usually cut inside on to their good foot, and having no other option, take a dip. (Fatah)

Thing is, with players like Traps, teams were happy to let him go outside, knowing his delivery with his standing foot, probably.... wouldn't cause much damage.

It doesn't matter what scenario happens, if there is nobody in that box desperate to score, we are back to square one.

Looking forward to see, who our main man in the box this season will be, and what he is being tasked to do.

You have to assume he doesn't rate him.

Yeah, I think that's spot on.

United are noted to have an interest in Hungarian winger Bence Babos. One thing I would say about wingers and Goodwin play them on the proper side none of this inverted winger pish imo. Look at Gannon-Doak the other day goes outside and crosses for Adams to put the ball in the net, objective achieved. How many times can you say that the inverted wingers have done any of that consistently?

Gannon Doak also went right through the middle to set up Adams for his second though. Its not about inverted or otherwise for me, its just about being tricky and being good .

[JUSTaway]

Yeah, maybe that's actually the case which is fair enough isn't it?

Fatah was effective as an inverted winger, Trap less so. Think it's less an issue if you have an attacking wing/full back on the same side e.g. Dixon/Conway. Also you need a dalby/Daly for wingers hitting the byeline to be fully effective. Most effective of course is a winger that can go inside and outside, put doubt in defenders mind.
