Thats pretty much my take Stu. Maybe 7 incoming? Quality over quantity. Yes we need to beef up our attack but we also need to strengthen our defence. Also a replacement, direct or otherwise, will be required for Lennon Miller, taking us down to 17. Let's not forget our wing back positions either. I expect a fair bit of movement over the summer but not a complete overhaul

Having seen the replays, I agree it was a 100% red card. I can also see why Dundee's 2nd goal was disallowed. At the very least, Robertson was distracting Ox. However, I suspect that it was for his movement towards Thompson. Had he been stationed out on a wing I would share Dundee's resentment. I understand Tony Docherty's ire at the officiating but he failed to mention it in relation to Dundee's win over us earlier in the season. What goes around comes around.

A great result and performance with only 10 men. Beforehand, I thought that a draw would be a great result; but an unlikely one. Very happy that I was proved wrong. A huge win that guarantees us safety and a 10th placed finish at worst. To win like that shows some grit and character. Well done Tom Sparrow and TJ. Good to see the Ox back between the sticks, and Steve Seddon make his comeback. We can now really plan for next season. 2 Yellows and and red card. We must have kicked poor Dundee off the park. Will have to see that red card on TV.

Don't panic. The Kilmarnock home game is our best chance to pick up a point or two. Nothing has changed.

St Johnstone to win, please.

So did I. Pleasantly surprised they're not.

Falkirk now need to stop whining and direct some efforts and money into converting their pitch to grass. As we all know they have previous for avoiding these kind of actions. It'll save them and the SPFL a lot of time and bother later on.

I wouldn't be against that as long as his wages were commensurate with being a squad player. Hopefully we'll sign some better quality this summer, but we'll still need squad players.

I think he'll sign more than 4 players, although it won't be a complete overhaul. If the squad, as is, can't play his intense high prerssing game, he'll bring in a few new faces to enable that change in style. Also, he won't want to upset current squad members as we still have 4 competitive fixtures to fulfil.

The Official site reports " no new injuries" ahead of the game, but no mention of Gordon or Maswanise. I really hope Gordon makes it as, if he doesn't, we'll struggle to field a back 4.

I agree with that, but really don't know much about which youngsters are ready to step up, if indeed there any. The organisation of youth football has a lot to answer for, but thats a separate debate. I've heard of the likes of Wells, Ross and Whyte, but thats about it. Hopefully there are some about to fledge. Long term developing our own youths is the only way forward. To balance that we need a sprinkling of old heads like Halliday to show them the ropes.

The Dundee Courier's take on Allan Campbell. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-united/5232473/how-has-allan-campbell-fared-dundee-united/

Balcombe is only on loan. Matty Connelly might be a decent enough keeper at non league/Second Division level but thats it. He's now 22 and never made a first team appearance. His problem is that he's just too small for the Premiership at 5-10 /6-0. He'd get battered by Jordan Whites and Ikpeazus of the world. These days 6-2 is about the minimum height for a top level keeper. St Johnstone has just signed a 6-8 keeper (don't know if he's any good mark you). I suspect we'll release Matty Connelly at the end of the season and re-allocate his wages elsewhere. A similar discussion on P & B.

James Wilson of Hearts willl take some beating. He ticks a lot of boxes. Thats assuming he's been nominated.

Our defence has been poor this season but if SOD and Sparrow now miss the next 2 games through suspension, then we'll struggle to field any kind of back 4. Far from ideal going into critical games.
