It was very nearly a good afternoon for Dundee given all the results elsewhere. At one point I worried we were going to let you back in to the title race. Shows how little I know.
Such a tight league though. Ten points separate top from bottom. Four points separate bottom from 4th and the final play off spot.
Funny if Partick won the league and United got relegated.
Ivan, surely a concern the away form.
Often said that the away form is where titles are won and lost and right now United look incapable of winning away from home.

Very concerned by it.
My feeling is that Neilson is trying to change the way we play to a negative defensive style which doesn't suit us. We need to be on the front foot rather than inviting them on to us and just shelling it forward from the back.
Seems we’ve gone from blowing teams away with a 4-4-2 to being cagey, and it isn’t working. The LB situation is a shocker, surely there must be someone who can play there and do a better job than Smith, who is an outstanding RB? It’s infuriating. Big matches coming up now - Dunfermline on Saturday then Partick on Tuesday, both at Tannadice. Two teams scrapping for points but we need to put in performances - six points and re-establishing a healthy GD are a must...
United seem to be very hot and cold. Big wins and terrible defeats. No draws this season.
We never have the same result two weeks in a row. It follows a pattern though. So get all of your money on a draw against Ayr.
Ridiculous score/result which ruined my Weekend Predictor.
Me too Juke
Anyway Ivan, we feel your pain son, we feel your pain. Should be streets ahead in that league.
Who on earth thought it was a good idea to reward him with a new deal before the QoS game.
For me he's done nothing to earn it.
CH at RB. RB at LB and LB on the bench.
It didn't work against Alloa so why would it work against QoS.
The Neilson lovers tell us it worked against Morton.
We got a 2 goal start against them which made a fairly easy day out.
Still seems to me that he worries about the opposition rather than letting them worry about United.
Very much doubt we'll win the league with him in charge.

Completely agree with that. That's the biggest problem.
Get on the front foot and stay there. Bully the teams. Put fear into them rather than let them get in about us.
I'll never understand the logic of "We've got a mince defence and an awesome attack - had better play defensively and put all the pressure on the defence."
Either way we're going to leak goals. It'd be nice if we could score some along with it.
Neilson is a joke. We signed another King who appears to be even worse than his brother. We have Sporle who is a left-back supposedly but we play a right-back in that position!?! Then Watson a centre-half at right-back!?!
Reynolds can't defend or pass the ball. Benji has the jitters. Harkes and Stanton posted missing. Yet the backroom staff get a two year extension........
Butcher is out injured yet rushed backed with no match fitness built up in the reserves.
See with reserves they are the deputies for the first team player being out. You wouldn't think it with the muppets in charge. The reserves were horsed by Morton as it was kids playing. The likes of Watson, Harkes and Smith should be playing in those games. Yet they are not. Come first team game they are found wanting..
I'm absolutely sick with United. I gave up my season ticket because of the anti-football. For all those who again purchased season tickets you have my sympathy.

The age restriction on players was lifted a couple of years ago. So a manager who is on the ball would be giving fringe players, first teamers coming back from injury and talented youngsters game time in the reserves.
Also what a lot of rubbish not playing reserve games at Tannadice. Years ago you would go up Friday nights, Saturday afternoons to see the reserves. Don't tell me youngsters are getting the same benefit by playing these games at St. Andrews?
Anyway I'm just fortunate to have seen the reserves when they played in a time that was important. Saw a number of trialists including the amazing Ed Machin. Youngsters going up against seasoned professionals and getting guided by first team players building up their match fitness after injury.
Managers and coaches are to busy studying the art of anti-football. For this reason I'm glad I don't have the burden of a season ticket.
