    Funsters (a)

    Predictions?

    3 at the back. Again.

    Slow start. Again.

    Fall behind. Again.

    Hard working but very predictable effort to get back in game (mostly involving getting ball out to Ferry to cross). Again.

    Excuses of tired squad lacking energy and hectic schedule wheeled out. Again.

    FT Funsters 2 Goodwin?s Experiment Gone Wrong 1



    P.S. Jim - there is still time, this is just a prediction. Please, please, please, with sugar on top, ditch phucking three at the back.

    Bitterly disappointed.... individual errors...didn't start with the right intensity...the penalty/red card changed the game....not clinical enough inbthe final third.....top 6 is gone but we have an opportunity to put it right in our next game and will try to finish the season strongly for our fans.

    3-0 to the fun!

    I hope tae f4ck I am wrong and we finally get the tempo, the attitude, no individual errors and are clinical in front of goal. It's the hope that kills ya!

    Don?t have a good feeling about this fixture. Our team has no balance and no fluency.

    Dundee have been showing recently that they have something about them. They score in pretty much every game, even against teams with a decent defence, so they will almost certainly score against us - it?s just a question of how many. Can our attack match or exceed that number? I?m not at all confident they can.

    This game will be a year almost to the day since that lot beat us 4-2 at Tannadice and I fear a similar mauling this time round, except we?ll be lucky to score 2.

    The boys gave it everything after their 2nd went in but we really need to stop giving teams a two goal start and conceding from simple balls played into our box.I am not making excuses but due to injuries and the hectic schedule i'm having to go to the well too often and have flogged this youngest,smallest squad in the league to death.

    Goodwin added that the players struggled with the underfoot conditions having not played on grass since the defeat at Motherwell over a fortnight ago and that was their only game on grass going back to their 3-2 defeat to Hibs nearly 6 weeks ago.We have had words in the dressing room and i promise you the bhoys are not on the beach until Celtic come calling next week and we will be ready.

    Goodwin added "we will be seeking clarification from VAR about their 3rd goal. On TV it looks 2 yards onside but United fans level with play said it could have been offside. As to the 2 red cards, we're disappointed. I don't think we have a disciplinary problem, we're one of the softest teams in the league.
    Losing by 4 goals to your nearest rivals is never nice, but we'll be working hard to put it right in the next derby"

    On a serious note, there's every chance we can beat them if we deny them space in behind on the flanks and sit 3 in midfield. That means 433 or 442 Jim. Something like this

    AMB
    Stephenson Iovu Graham Ferry
    Svelj Camara Agyei
    Fatah Watters Sapsford

    Has he learned? I very much doubt it and that's probably why he's not even in the conversation about the Paisley job.

    Asked if he felt under pressure Goodwin said,"Yes i'm worried seek that Hearts will take away OUR title."

    Dundee have decent,very decent wide players and will be praying that Goodwin goes 3 at the back to allow them acres of space to wreak havoc down the flanks.
