Tims away

Thought we did ok today, but as long as we have any of the 2 keepers between the sticks we are going to concede soft goals. Why is djoum starting?? I’ve seen double deckers buses turn quicker than him. We were better when young Archie came on. Fletcher puts in a shift but he lost to many balls today and was at fault for their first. Wednesday is a must win to keep us in touch.

I liked how Archie took a corner and we nearly scored from it compared to McGrath taking a corner. Why can't we have different takers every so often? In all the time I've been following United the players I've seen take corners and freekicks that have actually been good have been Clark, Brewster, Bollan, McKinlay, Olofsson and Robson. Jennison Myrie Williams couldn't take a corner and Dillon thought I'll take one and you know what it was really good, rather than the same scripted pish.

Kjell Olofsson was a great player for Utd, scored 38 goals in 91 appearances, loved watching Utd during his spell. Strong, athletic, great touch and an eye for goal, him and Billy Dodds had a great partnership, and scored lots of goals between them. Think Goodie/Daly/Russell was the closest we got to that prolific scoring period, unlike now ffs!!

Situation isn't irretrievable yet, but it's not far off. We are the worst team in the league at the moment - we can't win games. 2 duff keepers, can't defend/stop crosses, no defensive midfielder (at the moment I'm stuggling to see what Djoum was signed for), and slow average strikers who don't score.

Just like when i have said in previous years that we are not safe until the maths is right, my head will still hold on to us having a chance until the sums say we are down. However, my heart is now in the same place as it was in September 2015 where the recruitment was flawed, the 2 keepers were absolute pish and it looked like the players were not capable of mounting a fightback. Before Sackie was offloaded and the experienced Mixu was in, i was convinced we were doon! Then some ageing players came in and things got worse!

This season, there has been huge mistakes in recruitment, 2 pish keepers are slightly better than SromZwick, there are some players who still look like they are not up for the fight, but the manager is untried and while i actually still have hope that the one auld duffer so far can contribute, the overwhelming heartfelt feeling is we are doon already!

My head though is clinging onto the maths and the chance that MO can throw some money at things in January. Before then, we need 2 wins this coming week, and a Christmas period that dreams are made of!

In 2015, I kept thinking…we are too good to go down, but week after week, the same sh!te, and lo and behold, we eventually got relegated!
Sense the same is happening again, especially as that year our keepers were absolutely sh!te too!
What’s even more scary in the 2015 season, is that in something like 11 games, we were winning at HT, but failed to win those games!! Billy McKay couldn’t buy a goal ffs!

Only difference is this time (Shedka apart) no **** thinks we are too good to go down. We are utter Shyte and easily bad enough to go down.

Cos some us went through it in 1995, then again in 2015, and can see the warning signs from a mile off, whilst others toodle on thinking all is bliss!!

Yeah I was there through all of that too mate and certainly wouldn't claim everything was 'bliss'. However to say we're done and dusted by the 5th of November is a poor show...

No team is 'too good to go down'. Personally I believe we have a better squad than at least 4 of the others so I won't be giving up yet.
