Match Thread (League Cup) Aberdeen 4 - 0 St Mirren

[CityCentre]

Team:

 

Lewis

 

Ball Considine Devlin Shinnie

 

Gleeson Forrester

 

MCGinn May(last chance) GMS

 

Anderson (got to be him up front)

[Tord31]

Hoban and Logan out for this one but back next week.

 

Wilson will start instead of Cosgrove.

 

Only debate is whether it's May, Anderson or Forrester. I'd give May another start.

[Zander1903]

Anderson deserves a chance of serious game time or where's the motivation for the young guys coming thru

 

65th minute Wilson to come on to score his 1st of many Hattricks for the Dandies

[strachanmcgheegoal]

If were going to be subbing strikers on the hour anyway (and assuming the boy is fit to start) then Anderson on the bench is a no brainer. At least thats how DM will see it.

[Betty Swallicks]

Wilson and May to start I'd think.

 

Wilson will come off to a standing ovation from the 9738 crowd after his 3rd in 64mins, Anderson will come on and notch the 4th in 72mins.

May will come off after 75mins having been shite and be replaced by Cosgrove who will be even shiter.

[Chewie37]

I predict a Shearer style debut for Wilson.....two for him and one for Anderson.....rock and roll

[Wee Alickie]

Why is Logan missing again? Thought he just got a 2 match ban but was it 3? Or does he have a ban carried over from last year's league cup?

[Wee Alickie]

McInnes has surely seen that peach of a goal young Bruce scored at Raith Rovers on Tuesday and the chances he created for himself v Gers and Dundee. Is that not exactly what he says he wants from his team? Come on Derek, start Bruce on Saturday with Willo and have May take his turn as the late sub !

He had 3 match ban effectively.

 

2 for the Celtic game I think and 1 for reaching a disciplinary points total at the end of the season

Harsh as it might seem I'd probably start May and Wilson tbh.

 

I think May did ok last game a d ideally we want to get him back on firm if we can help him.

 

But get Anderson one with a decent amount of time to go, Wilson likely isn't match fit anyway.

Yup May was decent against Dundee so keep playing him. Be very stupid to just drop him after he's improved.

Improvement? Having a laugh!

Improvement? Having a laugh!

Given how pish he's been, the Dundee match was an improvement.

think Wilson will probably start on the bench as the comments from Derek on the website was that he had an ankle knock playing for united last Friday so has been getting treatment and will only be in full training from today

 

“James has had a little ankle knock and concerns from the game he played on Friday night for Manchester United. He’s been doing his work with the physios and he’s back in full training tomorrow and if he’s fit, which we expect him to be fit, there’s a good chance he’ll be involved in the game if he comes through that. We’ve been keen to get James and once you’ve waited that long there’s no point waiting any further. Let’s get him out on the pitch and hopefully he’s off to a winning start and a productive start. We’ve got high expectations of everybody this season and James is one of those we fully expect will help us meet the demand.

“He’s settled in very well. Players are players and they get on very well. For him it’s important that he feels at the heart of everything. Although he’s a loan player it’s important he feels important, wanted and plays with a smile on his face. The last couple of years have been a pretty miserable time for him with injures and not playing as much. It is important for him to really enjoy the experience with us and he’s thrown himself into the work and mixing with the players. We’ve got a great dressing room for that side of it anyway and it would be unusual of players didn’t feel at home very quickly.

The only way is up...baby....for you and me now....

Not the way I'm reading that. Bench if fit.

[Tord31]

No sign of the signing speculated earlier on the thread. Increased chance of Christie being available one would think?

[Betty Swallicks]

If Wilson has a knock surely to fuck its nae another May/Cosgrove debacle?

 

Anderson has 10 times the goal threat than either of those 2 at the moment.

[Ernie McCracken]

All we are saaaaaying, is give Bruce a chance.

[RAZOR]

You can do it Brucie - Matilda.

[Dunty]

9,500 tickets sold. Wouldn't expect a particular big away support to swell that number either.

 

Can't really blame the club for making tickets £22 if that many are still going to buy them. If they had halved the price, realistically how many extra would have went?

[CraigHill]

In. Not bought a ticket. Booze up.

3v1 Dons. May, GMS, Wilson.

[pocrawred]

3 0. Bruce brace and GIH MIH SIH.

[Poodler]

Hopefully langfield trips over something and sustains a horrific head injury

If so I'll shave my head for charity.

Clutha fucka

2-0 win. GMS pens x2

Probably @@reekie_dock on the floor buckled with his trousers round his ankles given they are in the same hotel tonight.

[RAZOR]

Club hinting Wilson is fit. Would be very refreshing to see him and Anderson starting.
