Thoughts after today

[deebuster]

After last week I'm fairly relaxed about that result as I feared a defeat, we have stopped the rot, showed last week was a freak, kept a cleansheet at a team in form (4 pts from East End Park is not bad), we now have two weeks until Morton at home (St Mirren go to Dunfermline that weekend in the Friday night)

At the end of the day the fact is no point knee jerking, no team in the league would have been unaffected by losing their two best players like we did losing Fyvie and Fraser to season ending injuries just as we had found form in November/December and a settled side, we've been very unlucky in the respect

We have a game in hand and just need to take it week by week, no point being gutless and having a loser outlook as a fanbase, make sure worst case scenario is 2nd which believe it or not gives us a better chance in the playoffs than last season

Roll on Alloa, can't beat a Scottish Cup away

P.s. Dunfermline telling big fibs about their crowds

The master of deflection fails to con anybody about the reality of the doodoo we are now in.
Like last year, our main competitor motors on, whilst our wheels have come of.

Now there's a reliable source of information about United.

Exactly, his knowledge of why things have derailed for us in the last couple weeks is zero, he was a babbling idiot today the whole lot of them with Gordon and Miller are heel bent on kicking us

The impact that the Fyvie and Fraser injuries have had its massive on top of other injuries and other little things all add up

Positive today is we took a point, kept a cleansheet with a much more balanced team selection, now have a break from the league before an important period that will determine whether we can close the gap or are just making sure of second

It's crap that we currently find ourselves 8 behind (with the game in hand and them to come to Tannadice) but there have been mitigating circumstances which has disrupted us significantly as it would any other side in the league St Mirren included

Two weeks until Morton at home which is a must win (with St Mirren at Dunfermline), the whole mood and feel about the place will improve a lot if things go for us that weekend but we can concentrate on Alloa away first in the big cup (1994 + 2010)

Were you at the game today??????

i agree with the original post in parts.

we have stopped the rot after last weeks shocking performance and a 0-0 draw away to 3rd place team isn't a bad result all things considered. losing Fyvie and Fraser has put us out of our stride

however we do need to get back on track quickly. the whole reason we finished 3rd last year was that after the new year our form plummeted. if we can get back to winning ways soon then the title isn't over (no matter what chick young and the rest of the sportsound "experts" think) st mirren arent celtic, they will drop points but united need to get the sort of consistency we had when CL came in. this means performances (mainly away form) improving, signings stepping up.

the main thing is not to throw the towel in so early! still plenty to play for but needing united to step up!

No just facts

We are in doodoo if we stay down but you can't ignore why things have fell away, today stopped the rot that was last week, not pretty not amazing but a solid enough 0-0 at a form team, we don't need panic merchants spreading negativity even further around the place with the quitter mentality, that's not going to help, chill out is what some need to do

We have Scottish cup weekend next week

The weekend after, we must beat Morton, if so that gap may well be cut, it's all ifs however should it materialise we may just kick on, nothing is lost and unlike some I think promotion is achievable via play offs if we finish 2nd

Good post Darren, the only bit of sense other than myself and ttt on the thread

That was ****in dire today.... how some of those players pick up a wage for being professional footballers baffles me... 0-0 in a game we needed to win and it's pass back after pass back...no fight no desire..stopped the rot,yer having a laugh....only reason we never got beat was Dunfermline were equally as pish....

yeah was bad and could have easily lost it but we didnt. would you have preferred another performance like last week? still plenty of football to play.

It'll need to be played far better than today then...
