Nine Dundee Utd Players in Self Isolation

From the BBC Sport Scotland website. Will mean they miss our game too.

The tarriers will be ragin’! It’s a conspiracy...

 

“Nine Dundee United players will miss their Scottish Premiership match at Livingston after being deemed close contacts of Covid-positive staff members.

Three staff tested positive for coronavirus, forcing the entire coaching team, including manager Micky Mellon, to self-isolate.

And after discussions with the Scottish FA and Tayside health board, nine squad members must also now self-isolate for 14 days.

Academy coach Thomas Courts will take charge of the team for the Livingston match on Saturday.

"Nine members of our squad are now self-isolating as a precaution due to having close contact with medical staff at the HPC at St Andrews," sporting director Tony Asghar said.”

Hopefully there's not a further outbreak, would rather play them with a weakened squad and get the win as there are no guarantees if the match is postponed that we will be awarded a 3-0 win. That's only if DU are found guilty of breaking covid protocols. 

I'm not someone who gets ahead of themselves normally about other clubs but a 3-0 award for any game against us would be disappointing as we look at the moment like we could hit most teams for 4/5/6 in the domestic form we are in.

surely if they are 9 key players down we could also play a "weakened" team therefore concentrating heavily on Poznan? if we better the result Benfica get we go top (afaik) 

rest the likes of morelos, tav, barasic, davis, kamara, kent etc. bring in guys like bassey, itten, defoe, barker/jones etc. and we should still put a weakend dundee hibs team to the sword quite comfortably.

We’ve been lucky but one sniff of that dirty virus and were fucked.

The players seem focused, the manager reminds me of a man possessed. Long may it continue

How do you work that out when Helander is a positive test?

No chance get a strong team out and rattle in as many goals as possible. Let’s put the tinks out of sight both points and goal difference
