Shankland might just prove to be a title winning signing mate.

Some start for him.

I actually watched the game

was not bad, anytime Shankland gets the ball in the box you think he's going to score

Top of the league already.

Good stuff, will make it even more agonizing when it slips through your fingers again.

Yeah Shankland is different class. Just knows where to be in the box and you always fancy him to score. If we can keep him fit then we have a great chance of winning the league.

Dundee have made a couple of very good striking signings though. they probably have more options up front after signing Hemmings but I can't see any of their forwards being as prolific as Shankland.

We won't fall apart until the new year mate.

i love strikers like that tbh, see the one's that other teams will mark as tightly as possible, but will always find a yard.

henrik was superb at it

Good morning. Who have you got at the weekend?

Yeah me too.

It amazes me how many strikers don't seem to be that bothered about scoring goals. They all try to do all the link up play out of the box but never seem to think about actually getting in the box and getting on the end of things. That should always be there first thought - "how am I going to score?".

the Championship leaders are being given a week off to recharge the batteries.

I think we might have a couple of bounce games at St Andrews to give the fringe players a run out.

I notice that only one striker has scored for Dundee Utd so far in the league. Two strikers have scored for Dundee so far. That's double the amount. We have also added ANOTHER striker. So when he starts scoring we will have treble the amount of goalscoring strikers. That's 3 times as many as United, who themselves have a 3rd of the number of prolific strikers compared to Dundee. That's 3 times less.

Good start to the season for your men Irish. What's your thoughts for the season ahead?

We are best placed to challenge city mate but I fear we’ll not be good enough and they’ll be out of sight by April

Surprised you didn't invest more in the squad to be honest. Always good to freshen things up with one or two quality signings.

It’s something we always done even in our heyday. We may go into the market in January
