But these players had us bottom of the league too Uche is so strong even when he taps the ball it sails miles over the bar. Mulraney is so fast he gets to the byline before any of our players could and whips in a crappy high cross to no one. Whelan is experienced in being an arsehole.

You ridiculed the description of power, pace and experience. I didn’t say they were all brilliant players, just that they possessed attributes that have not be replaced. I don’t think anyone can argue against that. Have Langer and Avidjaj provided anything? Would Mulraney and Whelan have been better options?

Which makes them actually worse than useless. Was always going to be tricky to get decent players in January but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have cleared out the shite.

Stendel hasn’t improved the squad, quite the opposite in fact. Luckily he will be gone soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure this group of players has as many managerial sackings in them as it takes before a manager shows the majority of them where the door is.

He lost his way after that. I think a different manager would have got a lot more out of Berra, Whelan and Naismith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players decide who they play for and who they don’t the players need emptied surely? Not suggesting Stendel will survive because I don’t think he will.

Berra hadn’t downed tools and stopped playing. He was just in poor form. I’m far from convinced that any of our other centre backs are better than Berra, or any of our centre midfielders are better than Whelan. Agree that Stendel’s going to be gone, one way or another.

I agree our squad is poor. Years it’s taken to assemble this squad and 3 or 4 aside it’s full of absolute shite. Wasn’t expecting DS to turn it around completely in 3-4 months but enough is enough for me. Huge clear out in the summer, as you say one way or another, I hope.

As per @Hearts007‘s response, I was concerned as far back as Hamilton in December when this zonal marking nonsense left Michael Smith marking three giants at the free kick which led to their opener. As I said earlier in the thread, Berra and Souttar are by some distance the best two central defenders on our books. Berra needed a rest and Souttar was struggling after injury I grant you, but compared to Halkett/Clev they’re night and day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massively missed Berra’s aerial presence, for corners at both ends of the pitch. Dundee fans on their forum crediting him with completely turning around their season.

David McCaig Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Personally I think Halkett is a far bigger problem than Berra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
