Looked best wide of a 3 in a 4-2-3-1 with a right back behind him. He could focus on just being direct then. 

Giving him a new contract was Mcinnes'  last example of bad judgment.

Hornby fit and back in the squad. 

0-0 standard pish

I think Mclennan can offer more if he got a proper run of games and up to speed. McGinn's delivery can be so frustrating.

Hoping that Kennedy can be better with different instructions.

Playing these players in their proper positions would help them massively. 

[Cambridge Red]

I think it's going to be 1-1 with Shankland scoring for them and Kamberi breaking his duck for us . Should be an closely contested entertaining match with both teams up for it.  So therefore it's bound to be a 0-0 shitfest.

[BitWait]

I think we will miss McInnes and Docs tactical nous.

2 - 0 for the Dons , blood and guts. COYR. 

[alscotoz]

I'd keep persevering with Campbell.

3-0 the famous

 

”Dundee United”?

I do think there is a player in there. Agree he needs game time and in a consistent position. Quick, skilful, powerful, but plays with his head down in my opinion and his crossing is atrocious.

Do you not think he slows the game down too much? Looks tidy on the ball, but moves it sideways and backwards more often than not.

Destroy the DABS. 

DESTROY 'EM.

He's actually been one of few  (Hedges pre injury) that's actually improved this season. At a stage where I don't think McGeouch offers anything that Campbell doesn't.

However, I think Sheerin will go with experience and take no risks. His pre match interview was negative I thought, too busy mourning the loss of McInnes instead of the proverbial 'grabbing the bull by the horns - his loss is my gain'

 

COYR- 0-0

[Tord31]

I'm not sure today is the game but it would be nice if Sheerin could blood some youngsters and maybe find one good enough to step in as a first choice by August (Ngwenya? Mackenzie?)

Not the best turn of phrase these days. 

I take we were not mentioned in the big peado report? Was it just rangers and celtic? Are any other clubs peado? Sevco clean?

I thought ngwenya looked pretty lost last game he played. Would like to see Mackenzie get a run out tho see what he offers and a proper left back 

[Zeus]

0-0. 

The Sheerin interview was very uninspiring. Hopefully I'm wrong. 

 

[shinniesta1]

If we play 3 at the back, get the wing backs high up the pitch for once

[BitWait]

Surely not another 0 - 0 ? I've bought ppv and mates round with a few tins. 11 o'clock kick off with us.

Im thinking the boys are going round for 4 hours drinking before the match starts!

They’ll need 4 hours worth of drink in them to sit through this if it’s going to be the same mundane McInnes esq set up from Sheerin.

[Fridge]

He’ll surely go for it. He’s highly unlikely to get the job and definetly won’t with a few boring 1-0 wins. Be as well going all guns blazing and give Cormack something to think about with attacking football.

You’d think so. 
If his almost apologetic press conference on Thursday is anything to go by, I’m not sure it’ll happen.

Regardless, he shouldn’t get the job long-term.

Tut tut there’s a bloody pandemic on! ?

 

Confident for today think we’ll pump them. That thought will have no doubt evaporated by 3:10pm

[aberdeen1970]

Hopefully Sheerin is playing possum and we'll field an attacking line up. 

But if he doesn't have the enthusiasm for the job as interim manager he can step down and let Robson or Simmie do the job instead.

You'd hope so however all the stuff in the media I've seen from him is that he's essentially McInnes 2.0, still calling him gaffer etc in his conference

The old thanatosis trick.

I hope you’re right.

I never knew he had bad breath. 

[Kiriakov33]

3-0 Dons.   Shackles will be off and we will have a right go at them from the off. Back to old fashioned 4-4-2 and just let them play.   If Sheerin/Robson have any ambitions at all to be involved next season they will surely impose their own style on the team.  Will be interesting to see the attitude of the players a lot of whom will be playing for new contracts in the summer..
