Maybe revert to a 3-5-2? Although I suspect by the time Turnbull is fit to play for a full 90 either he or Polworth will have moved on.

I think some people confuse tackling with work ethic. Most new players take a little while to adapt to our high press tactics, but Polworth adapted pretty quickly. Like Billy Dodds said on Saturday - the tactics we use are about compressing the space available to the opposition and restricting their options on the ball; it's not just about tackling. (And even if he didn't do any of that, I'd still have him in the team just for his ability to see a pass or hit a dead ball.)

I thought it was a clear cut penalty when I was watching the live stream, but watching it later it wasn't quite as obvious. The player had lost control of the ball and, as they all do, made the most of the collision with Gallagher (who couldn't stop sliding). Probably still a pen under today's rules, but I've always admired Collum as one of our top referees and happy to accept his expert decision on this one

No. Basing it on the many reports in the media about the interest from multiple clubs north and south of the border and the (well documented) silly money Utd have spent on their promotion bids the last couple of seasons.

He turned down plenty of offers, so even if we broke or wage structure (which is in extremely unlikely) there was little chance he'd pick us.

Maciver and Ndjoli (who can play as winger or a forward) too.

Illic put in a good shift.

Having Donnelly back in the team made a big difference too - and not just for his goal.

Highlight of the game at the end where the Aberdeen commentator is complaining Gillespie held the ball for more than 6 seconds, but no referee ever picks them up on that. Then his co-commentator pointed out that rule doesn't exist any more. Excellent 3 points. Especially given the enforced changes before and during the game. Who says we can't win the important ones?

Ever?

Aye, we're so good at that.

Probably not quite ready for a full 90.

I think we've been taking some game management tips from our Walking Football team.

Maciver on for Scott.

Aye, seeing what Newcastle did last night with 2 goals in the last minute of time added on, I won't be comfortable unless we go 3 up.

Part of it's due to the fact we are often ahead at half time, so the opposition has to come out all guns blazing.

I think Lewis blocked it but not a great angle on the stream to say for sure,

Get in. Illic with a decent effort a couple of minutes ago. Donnelly gets the job done from a well taken free kick.

Commentators spot on saying we are cancelling each other out. Not much going on of any quality. Lots of scrapping in the midfield.

Still down to 10 men as O'Hara gets a head wound patched up.

Illic coming on - presumably to go wide and put Scott down the middle. EDIT: GazzyB beat me to it.

Long takes a nasty one (to his ankle, I think) and looks like he's done.

You do, but it costs money now.

Half chance for Aberdeen there, but Gillespie saves with his feet.

Players from both sides struggling to keep their feet.
