We asked you whether Dundee United should drop error-prone goalkeeper Yevhen Kucherenko.

Here's what some of you said:

Sean: We cant keep doing the same thing expecting a different result. He needs to be taken out of the firing line and allowed to reset. Perhaps a goalkeeper will be crucial in the January window?

Logan: Jim Goodwin has to drop Kucherenko for the next game against Kilmarnock. His confidence will be very low after the weekend's performance. He keeps making the same mistake every week. Just catch the ball, it's not that hard.

Oleksa: Dave Richards has never been given a chance but I don't think he is solution - Ruairidh Adams may be in the future. In the meantime there is a huge dilemma as there also is with the back three or four or five - ultimately it's down to management decisions. I would stick with Yevhen for next game.

Graeme: Got to change keepers surely? A player would be dropped for making these mistakes. However, I'm not convinced Richards is the solution unfortunately. Could be a long time until January when we surely need to get a keeper in.

Kris: I'd honestly call Adams back from East Fife. Richards isn't much better than Kucherenko so get the young lad back from East Fife and play him.

Derek: His confidence is shattered and the manager needs to bench him. Dave Richards is an able deputy as he showed last year.

Calum: I feel for Kucherenko - he's obviously not making these mistakes on purpose - but he needs a spell on the bench. Richards hasn't played a lot but that goes with the territory of being a No.2. As does stepping up when the No.1 needs a break.
