Shankland is miles better than Doidge. So, if you are a scout looking at this forum remember that.

Doidge wins this 1 but they were both impressive over the 2 games . Pity we hadnt taken a punt on Shankland though , him and Doidge would be some strike pairing . 50+ goals between them a season

Slight tangent to the debate, but Nisbet at Dunfermline has scored 22 goals this season after 34 last season at Raith Rovers. He will be on significantly less money than Shankland and plays currently for a less good team. Was he a better signing than Shankland or did Dunfermline, Dundee United and Hibs just all make good signings last summer in terms of their striking options?

Or if you rolled them into one you’d get a complete player.
2 up front isn’t really the done thing any more though.

Simple Doidge. He plays for us and is contributing all round the pitch and scored 14 at the top level in Scotland.

Raith might want a six figure fee...no chance they’re getting it.

Could be that most opponents he has faced just can’t do it. The quality of defending in scottish football is not that high.
I don’t think Shankland just plays off the shoulder but an obvious tactic for Dundee Utd is to get a winger or other pacy player alongside him who could exploit a high line effectively.
Anyhow, congrats overall to our much maligned defence who restricted Shankland to a few chances over the two games... unfortunately he took two of them very well.

However much he was allegedly offside, and however high/well our defence played - Shankland still got 2 in 2 against us. You'd take that from your striker if he's been kept out of the game for most of it.
IMO you can play high, deep, inside-out or upside down and Shankland will cause problems. He's a far cleverer player than most of us give him credit for. And he certainly doesn't rely on his own pace.
Again though - it was the Artful Doidger who came away with the hat-trick and victory, which is all that really matters.

I don't know what to make of Shankland after the two games. Impressed that he scored twice or critical as he was otherwise completely anonymous. Or should I be impressed with that too? Difficult one.

In spite of that he has scored in all 4 of the games I have seen him play so I have to admit I’m impressed.
