SteelmaninOZ Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 So another trip up to cauld Aberdeen An away win for the Steelmen I think. It won’t be pretty we are going good the kettle has them simmering. COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 This will be a tough one, their new manager has got them playing well, unbeaten so far this season, a point would be a good result. That said we have won our last 3 in a row so if we continue with that form we could get a result, here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Aberdeen have been doing well, but struggled to break down Ross County last weekend and were saved from going a goal down thanks to a very marginal VAR decision. If Maswanhise has a go at their defence, we have a chance. Our record at Pittodrie hasn't been too bad in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanzeypopz Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Will be a hard game. We are both in good form and unbeaten for the last 3 games. Would be happy with a draw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 Personally I'm not overly fussed on international football, it's even more annoying when we have two away games sandwiched between them. Aberdeen seem to be a much more organised side this season they were quite fortunate against Ross County with the marginal offside and the penalty miss however getting that last gasp win will no doubt have boosted their confidence. Hopefully we get to taste Willie Millers tears next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throughthelaces Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 We need to hope that the kettle has us on full boiling point so we can give the Aberdeen team a right good scalding. in all honesty I’m expecting this to be a good match hopefully a good result for us as both us and dons are in good form and a win against them would have the confidence flowing before a big league cup semi next week.

steelboy Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Hopefully Watt is fit enough to start. Tawanda has done a lot of travelling so I wonder if we might see Tavares get a start? Or Vale for more of a 3-5-2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Aberdeen seem to have got there act together so far this season so a draw would be a good result for us however we are going to win 2-1 with SOD banging in the winner 20 yarder just saying! All i am asking is we dont go on another horror show of a run after an international break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 I dont think the actual result matters too much for us on Saturday. Obviously any kind of result and the additional points that goes with that would be welcome. However, Im more interested in the performance and the development of the team this week. Aberdeen have 100% record so far, so losing to them on their own patch wouldnt be that much of a surprise or any kind of disgrace. But if we can be competitive with them, create chances against them and look like we are continuing in the manner in which we have started the season, I will be pretty happy. We really need to improve our home form this season as thats where most of our fans see us play and where any "feelgood factor" comes from. Away wins and points are welcome. But home points need to be our bread and butter. It takes so much more pressure off the manager and players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Tough game ahead but I can’t help feel we’ll do ok. Aberdeen never really like playing us and our record at pittodrie isnt bad. Id be happy with a draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Not very often that Aberdeen win 5 opening league matches. 9 years ago and about 40 years ago so hopefully they won’t manage it this season. A Point to us would be acceptable but if we can put in a decent performance and come away with 3 points that would be a huge confidence booster ahead of next weeks cup game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take a draw just now if offered but would obviously want 3.....COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are making some fair points about wanting to see a good performance but when the first line of the post is totally defeatist it suggests a certain mindset. To move it away from Motherwell there are still people making excuses for Steve Clarke despite all the defeats this year. I think this attitude from the fans actually hurts our teams because when a Scottish manager knows that a draw or narrow defeat is acceptable they will play for that result and it becomes a downward cycle. Aberdeen have started well but aren't a juggernaut. We should be aiming for a clean sheet today as a bear minimum and see what we can do at the other end.

I didnt think the first line was defeatist. I didnt say that I think we will lose. There are other posters who will do that. I go into every game thinking we can win it. But 50 years of following Motherwell tempers that a little. Aberdeen have started well. They seem to have found the right manager at last and have a squad of players that on paper should be better than ours. But we all know that football isnt played on paper, so there is always the chance of an upset. Despite our horrendous injury list, SK has managed to once again generate a real camaraderie in the dressing room. That together with the sprinkling of talent we have in the team could take us a long way. Im just not gonna get upset if we dont win today. As long as we play well and meet our "non negotiables" 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
