Next, Arbroath have beat Inverness twice this season, they have the 2nd best defence in the league ( along with Inverness ) - so this was always going to be a difficult match.

Yes, they are a part time club, but half their squad are players who could walk into the starting 11 of a lot of full time teams - I hope they make the play offs and good luck to them ( they also bring a decent support ).

Now to United - the league is almost won and could still be won by late March or early April - we are within touching distance and we would have all been happy with where we are sitting now at the start of the season.

Plans will already be getting made to adjust to next season in the Premier League - barring a disaster of epic proportions we are close to winning the league.

We can't win every game every week ( much as we'd like to ) so fair play to Arbroath, they fought hard and were worthy winners.

Time now to focus on getting the title wrapped up as quickly as possible ( ideally late March or early April ).


Very good and sensible post

People now trying to talk about home record since Christmas ha ha, despite 6 wins in a row away from home in the the league and having lost just one home game

This happens to teams in January, especially can happen at our level with such a lead that means we are going to win it and in a league where every team underneath is playing for something and it's getting more important by the week, to me it is likely Arbroath wanted it more on Sat

So it's maybe not a bad wake up call to get, might refocus minds to the job at hand, that's what happened in Oct what the same posters were overreacting (imo)

Still all good at Tannadice just now, loving this season, been over that result since Sunday and looking at the many brightsides as no chance were we not going to have any other bumps in the road.
