i remember him starting against hibs at home and we still got ripped apart in midfield - he needs a babysitter

Perhaps you do.
Try not to make your contributions so jaundiced.

He doesn't need a babysitter, that's just a ridiculous analogy. He does things others don't (or won't). For instance would you ever have said Dave Bowman needed a babysitter (someone to provide the creativity he didn't)?

Any midfield needs a balance about it and 100% we are better with Harkes in the team.

are you saying Harkes is a creative player ?

I dont think i get your point here when mentioning Dave Bowman, but he had way more creativity about him than Harkes ever will! That is sadly forgotten when talking about former players as all Bow is remembered for is his hard tackling.

I can't see me saying that anywhere in that post.

As for the Hearts game we started very well then went in to our shell. This is a pattern. Take our last 8 league games


Dundee Utd 2 - 3 Hearts (scored first lost)

Dundee Utd 2 - 2 Dundee (scored first failed to win)

Hibernian 1 - 1 Dundee Utd (scored first failed to win)

St Mirren 1 - 2 Dundee Utd (didn’t score first WON)

Dundee Utd 2 - 2 Hearts (scored first failed to win)

Livingston 2 - 1 Dundee Utd (scored first lost)

Aberdeen 1 - 1 Dundee Utd (scored first failed to win)

Dundee Utd 1 - 1 Rangers (scored first failed to win)


Interestingly the one game we won was the game we conceded first, a winner that was too late to blow.

On Sunday we just didn't look like we knew how to play the game from a wining position. The stats show this could be a confidence thing. This is something Tam needs to look at and sort out.

We are also now a BTTS banker.

Interesting. Unfortunately it's not just about us and what we do.

I think it probably is though Terry. We beat Well and County we will finish 4th I'm sure. Yes that would depend on other results but I have no doubt that winning those 2 games will seal 4th

Actually I agree with you about that, it's all on those two games.

What I was meaning was folk talking about previous games where we were ahead then changed the way we were playing and loose/draw. Just saying that type of thing is not all down to us and some credit needs to be given to the opposition in these situations.
