…..Dear God this gives the fear alright right now. But, they’ve just got to go down there and work their guts off. Nobody has ever criticised a Dundee United that gives it all but comes up short. What we DO criticise are performances like last night which are completely unacceptable against an absolutely woeful Kilmarnock.

Given the squad and where we are following the window, I genuinely would think about not starting Fletcher. Is he likely to have a huge impact on what will be the likely final result? Or is it more prudent to not play him less he gets a major injury and is then out for the games where he’s much more likely to have an influence? The business in the window has left us in this ludicrous position.

For now we all have to get behind the XI on the park. Yes we are all majorly p1ssed off and rightly so. But bile spilling on to the pitch will serve no positive purpose right now. The time for recriminations and major question asking is at the end of the season - and there will be and should be plenty of that make no mistake. The phuck ups in the last 12 months from signing Watt, to losing Lewis Neilson, to releasing Nicky Clark and Trevor Carson, to not adequately replacing Fuchs and Butcher and of course to hiring Jack Ross are almost unprecedented and are getting close to Snake-esque levels. Seeing as these are ‘Sporting’ decisions, it doesn’t take a brain cell to work out which ‘Director’ has the remit and ultimate responsibility for this schitshow.

BUT, that’s for then. Right now we have to do our bit - get right behind the team, help them through this and at least make sure we salvage something from this disaster of a season. THEN we can seek the answers to our legitimate questions………C’MON UNITED!
