DUTD 1 - Crusaders 2


Recommended Posts

Crusaders spoiled Csaba Laszlo's first match in charge of Dundee United by knocking the holders out of the Scottish Challenge Cup.

 

An added-time strike from substitute Gavin Whyte saw the Northern Irish Premiership side progress to the semi-finals.

 

United's captain for the day Fraser Fyvie gave his side the lead early in the second half with a terrific strike.

 

But poor marking allowed Dave Cushley to level the match with a free header.

 

Just as the match looked to be heading for extra-time, the visitors took advantage of a mix-up in the United defence and Whyte duly punished them.

The Championship is extremely competitive this year. Only 2 points separate the top 5 right now and they're going to be in an almighty battle to get out of there. If they don't get the automatic promotion slot I don't see them beating anybody from the SPL in the play offs presuming they even managed to make it to the final.

On a sidenote, for one reason or another ...

 

Not one of the United players who started against St Mirren last week to secure the win that put them joint top of the Championship with the Paisley club were included in Laszlo's first starting line-up.

It was an opportunity for a number of youngsters and a few experienced players, who have been on the fringe of the team recently, also getting the chance to to impress the new boss.

 

... so he gave Crusaders no respect whatsoever and got the right rewards. A travesty for the Scottish game ... /sarcastic mode off/
