Dundee United v Airdrie (H) 27th Feb

[tHeArAb]

I totally agree with you, I don't think Meekison is being played in his best position and think what held Mochrie back last night was the pathetic lack of movement from our front players last night, Watt and Middleton were playing hide and seek and Grieve just isn't very good. Get Moult back up front, Meekison in behind him, play Kai on the left flank and Cudjoe or Thomson on the right, let's at least play players who want the ball and who don't hide. I find it ridiculous that we haven't got a proper right back and are trying to shoehorn midfielders in there yet we bring in another centre half when Gallagher was close to being fit and Graham was playing well in his absence so now we have a 4th choice centre half that we're probably playing good money for who unless he gets tried at right back will probably never play for us just like Denham in the first half of the season. Grieve and Tillson although triers are very very poor and should not be near our first team. I don't know what was going through the managers head last night with his selection or substitutions, he went on about slow build up play but how can you play quickly when your front players aren't looking for the ball. The first couple of minutes Watt charges down the keeper and could have got lucky with the deflection, it was plain to see their keeper wanted extra time on the ball but we never went near him again, we went at it half heartedly there was no team press to stop them with the ball just the odd individual here and there. We never at any point last night looked like a team or any kind of cohesive unit. We are at our best pressing teams in their own half and winning the ball high up the park and transitioning quickly. When our defenders or goalie get possession in our half we are clueless and painfully slow until we play a long hopeful punt up the park. Why Goodwin can't see this I don't know and if he does see it and his players are not doing it for him why does he play people every week that are to lazy to press high.

Agree with a lot of this. Meekison is a 10 type player. Kai was immense out on the left at the start of the season. The signing of the centre half is f*cking baffling. He's not going to play a single game this season, and is he any better than Graham has been? Mental.

I don't see having cover for centre half as an issue, we were speaking about still bringing in another loan so it's not as though it's come at the cost of another position. Our transfer policy just seems to be limited in scope, wetherspoon just fell into our lap, and the other guys we brought in January just feel like we needed players to fill certain positions and we don't have anything in place to source targets beyond what the domestic market.
