steelboy Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 A tough game but Aberdeen haven't been scoring many so if we can score one we could well take something. Is Dunne back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEWELL Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Another defeat im afraid. Should keep it to 3 goals against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 After we conceded the early goal at Pittodrie we played OK (55% possession too) and were unlucky not to get an equalizing penalty. So while I'm not overly optimistic, I certainly don't have the fear for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Need to see a reaction after a very poor showing at Ibrox. I think we will see one and if we do put in a decent shift there is no reason to think that we cannot take something from the fixture. I reckon a 1-1 draw.

Yorkyred Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I expect a reaction and a close game won by the odd goal. Narrow victory for Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 It has always been very difficult to get penalties at Pittodrie and I'm going back decades. We have to up our game on Saturday to erase memories of our Ibrox thrashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodo Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 So Las says Gorrin might play against Aberdeen on Saturday obviously he wasn't at the Ross County game where I thought Gorrin was one of the worst players on the park .Cant think why we signed this guy offers nothing to the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand he has been injured and so could understand being off the pace a bit early doors. Doesn't mind a tackle tbf, but will struggle to fill McHugh's shoes.Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager has been quite clear a few times he is being rested due a long season and summer with no real break. Also the reason he was pulled from international duty.

He has fallen down the pecking order. Possibly temporarily due to tiredness, manager fearing burnout but he has fallen down the pecking order...

superward Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Fair enough. Our interpretations of 'falling down the pecking order' are different. Campbell will play Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukemfc1 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 The reality at the moment is we are 7 points off the bottom of the league with a game in hand. Not disastrious but what must be taken into account is our very difficult run of fixtures up until the St Mirren game at Christmas. We are still to prove that we can take 3 points off anyone other than Dundee and St Mirren so need to start doing this. Luckily Dundee and St Mirren have an almost equally tricky run in with the exception of one game against Accies each. It's not unthinkable that either team could put together a win against Accies + another in this period of time. For this reason we really need to pick up a couple of results to maintain a bit of breathing space. The point has been made that we could survive this season just taking wins off the bottom two but I'm not sure where this leaves the manager long term. I'm really hopeful we can pick up a couple of results but I can't help but wonder where these will come from going into Christmas. Livi/St Johnstone perhaps but both teams have really performed well as of late. Aberdeen (H) Livi (A) Celtic (H) Hearts (A) St Johnstone (A) Celtic (A) I hope some of Robinsons talk about player loyalty results in more changes. In this regard I'd be looking at the likes of Hartley, McHugh and Main (despite his goal recently) to drop out. Won't hold my breath right enough. I'd like to see the likes of Mbulu and/or Livingston included but would probably go for something like the below. It would be interesting to see what we looked like if we swapped to one up front in some of these away matches. I liked the shape against St Mirren/Dundee and think it is good at home but it in some of our tricky fixtures I fear we could get completely overran in the middle of the park. It isn't very trendy to say but I wonder if we would be best served in some of these fixtures getting an extra centre midfielder on the park particularly after losing so heavily at Ibrox.

Andy_P Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 It's a slightly curious turn of events that in the corresponding fixture last year we were going up there the week before going to Hampden for the League Cup Final and twelve months later they are heading to Fir Park a week before the League Cup Final. Hopefully a different outcome from last November... They certainly come into the game on a high and with a good bit of momentum behind but they haven't been completely convincing in all of those game. You might get some of them with points to prove to try to nail a spot for the Final but by the same token McInnes might look to protect or one or two, or some may not have their minds fully on the game. I'd like to think there will be a reaction from us. I keep thinking back to the Rangers game at the beginning of the season and the level we reached that afternoon (and how sadly we've rarely come close to matching that intensity). Really need something akin to that to hopefully get something from the game and to try to get the support (or at least some) back on side.

I'm amazed you can't see that. We have staff members whose job it is to identify new players - and then ignore them, and sign players that will decrease the overall quality of the team. Either that, or people who work in the game for a living know more about the game and have an insight that randoms on the internet sometimes lack. You should send them your scouting reports.

Sorry if that was too subtle a dig for you. (And the whole negate the preceding sentence with a "Not" at the end died out with teenage girls in the 90s.)

2/6 tae get in Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Just hope that we are 'up for it'. Realise Alan Campbell has had a poor season so far but maybe Saturday if he's on the park this could spur him on to the form he showed last season.
