Footballfirst Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Dundee United FC@dundeeunitedfc MATCHDAY The Reserves are back in action against @JamTarts this afternoon in the SPFL Reserve League Cup. It’s a 1.30pm kick-off at Whitton Park. Team news for the Reserves. SXI: Mehmet, Freeman, Duffy, King, Graham, Neilson, Chalmers, Davidson, Watson, Mochrie and Meekison. Subs: Currid, Cooney, Hutchinson, Robson, Fotheringham, Caves and Bisland. 1’ | 0-0 | Darren Watson gets us underway at Whitton Park for the Terrors. C’mon United! 2’ | 0-0 | Early chance for United as Darren Watson puts the Hearts defence under pressure which forces the ball to Jake Davidson who is lurking in the box, but his shot skims across the surface and wide. 7’ | 0-0 | A brilliant run by Jake Davidson sees him break away from the defence and he flicks the ball over the keeper who is charging him down quickly. Unfortunately his shot falls to the wrong side of the box. 28’ | 0-0 | Kieran Freeman makes a gut bursting run down the right wing before skimming a low cross into the box. The ball eventually comes to Adam King, but his shot is held by Colin Doyle in the Hearts goal. 35’ | 0-0 | What a save from Deniz Mehmet to keep out Connor Smith’s free kick! The experienced United keeper makes a dives to his left and stretches out his right hand to palm the ball over the bar. 44’ | 0-1 | Goal Hearts. Leeroy Makovora brings the ball down on his chest before firing a powerful shot high into the net from a tight angle. HT United 0 Hearts 1 | The visitors snatch the lead just before the interval at the end of a very even 45 minutes. 46’ | 0-1 | Hearts get the match restarted at Whitton Park. 50’ | 0-1 | Penalty to Hearts as Connor Smith is fouled in the box. 51’ | 0-2 | Goal Hearts. The visitors double their advantage from the spot as Callumn Morrison sends Deniz the wrong way. 74’ | 0-3 | Goal Hearts. Callumn Morrison adds his second of the match as he rattles the ball home from a tight angle just inside the box. FT United 0 Hearts 3 | A disappointing afternoon for the Reserves comes to an end.

been here before Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Good to see Morrison get a couple and hopefully this will follow him to East Fife. I know Morrisons final ball often let him down but I thought he was exactly the type of player who would flourish under the new manager, surprised he's rnded up at East Fife.

Footballfirst Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) The last score update on Twitter for a non 1st team game was on 27th January, when @Jamtarts posted that the U18s had beaten Morton 3-2 in the youth cup quarter final. That game had of course been played 3 days earlier. Additionally, the U18s also beat ICT 4-1 in Inverness on Friday afternoon. To be fair, the website has at least been updated with the result of that game, but there is no match report, or scorers given, as for previous games. Unfortunately #TFIM hasn't posted much in recent weeks either, although he is not directly connected to the club.

Niemi’s gloves Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 To be (slightly) fair to the club, this was a previously postponed and nothing at stake reserve cup game. The SPFL already had the semi-final ties (Celtic v Hibs, Well v Dons) up on its web site for 24 February. Our 3-0 win today took us up 2nd in our group but not good enough for best runner up however many we had scored. An oddity of the 15 club draw was that although there were 10 premier clubs involved (no Rangers or Livi), plus 5 championship, two of the groups had 4 premier and 1 championship teams while group A had 2 premiership and 3 championship teams. Celtic and Motherwell each duly beat the 3 lower league teams in their group and played out a draw between them, with Celtic getting the extra point for the penalty shoot out win. That effectively put the best runner up spot out of reach for the other 2 groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 It wasn’t covered as we’ve had to pay off our entire media team and sell all the equipment to fund the £400k loss this year (this information is based purely on Hobonomics).

Mikey1874 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) After a bit of searching...this was a Reserve league cup game. We've finished second in our group behind Hibs. https://spfl.co.uk/league/rcup/table I don't think we've qualified for next round. 3 groups but we're not best placed 2nd place. We'll need to hand back the trophy. Looks like Hibs, Celtic, Aberdeen, Motherwell in semi finals.

Hungry hippo Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Morrison has great potential.

E6 Inc Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Anyone who watches the reserves or the youth teams, are they playing in the same style as Stendel has us playing in the first team? Is it the same set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgecowie Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I was at the game. Couldn't give you the full team but cochrane played the full 90 in the heart of the midfield. Nice weight of pass all game and good energy. Baur started slowly but came onto a decent game which kind of sums up the teams performance. Doyle was in goal, not much to do, and Connor Smith nashed about all over the shop. Morrison's crossing and general play had a real edge to it, the full backs combined well with him and Smith. The 1st goal from Leeroy Makorova drew a gasp from some, well me anyway. Bit of a half van Basten effort as he was nearer the goal. Second looked a pen to me but not dave bowman who had a few words with the lino! Nicely dispatched. Should have had another shortly after when Makorova got there first but ref didn't see it that way. Third was a great strike from Morrison, we were getting in down our right a lot towards the end. Other centre half played really well, little and large back there. Chris Hamilton, I think. And other midfielder first name Scott(mcgill maybe having googled reserve squad)? He played well with Cochrane, good partnership. All in all it came really good after a dodgy beginning. Think it was fox and rankin on the bench. Apologies for the inevitable errors, no team lines to be seen and don't make many reserve games. I know I'm a midfielder short. Shoddy.
