St Johnstone 0 - 3 Aberdeen


Recommended Posts

Hopefully we'll get the reaction we were looking for last night. St Johnstone aren't great right now but they've a good record against us down there in recent seasons.

 

Assuming May and GMS are both fit I'd go with

Shinnie needs to play with the brakes on a bit just now and just concentrate on breaking up play and putting in solid defensive shifts. It'll still be narrow but Stewart and Logan seem to provide at least some width down the right flank.

 

Prediction: A ropey 0-1 win to the dons.

Fuck it id go with that.

 

Part of me thinks that McInnes should just commit to playing Stewart and GMS for say the next 5 games regardless of performance to see if we can get them up to speed.

 

As others have said there are signs of good things with them, just not the completed articles.

 

People forget that the Johnny Hayes we sold to Celtic was 3-4 years in the making.

 

Celtic can afford the finished article. We can't, so we have to make them.

I'd go with them this half an hour now and again no use,if they lack in confidence they'll not get it on the bench so give Mackay-Steven a run in the team if he does fuck all fine drop him but he needs a run and hopefully we'll see the best of him.

Heres how Id go - and I think this is a great team to give this a bash against - fucking tractor driving cunts:

 

Joseph

 

Shay Kari Scotty Graeme

 

Anthony

 

G-Stew

 

Wright/Ross Flipper (if fin is flippy - if not Ross/Wright)

Christie

 

May (if boo boo is fixed - if not Adam)

 

 

No Kenny - fuck him.

I got a bit dizzy looking at that line up.

 

I think we'd be a bit weak down the left hand side.

We have to be convincingly beating St Johnstone. Watched the second half of their game with Hamilton on alba and they look 100% worse than we have this season. So instead of completely awful, I'll go for ghastly... Totally devoid of any ideas. So it is the perfect game for the likes of McLean and even Maynard to "do goals".

 

Deek is quick to remind everyone it's biz as usual in his recent interviews. Which it was, a dire 1-0 win over a shite Dundee. But we really do need to get back to business as usual - which is convincingly stepping all over shite teams, which is more like our last season.

 

I am not a fan of Derek McInnes and was very much hoping for a change, but I am fully behind the boy and the team. The players themselves need to take more responsibility too, regardless of the manager and his consistently bizarre decision making.

 

4-1 the Dons. The start of better things to come I hope.

Gms will never fill jonny Hayes boots properly. One simple reason, he's a pansy.

 

I would be looking to give scott wright as much game time as possible instead. He's more direct and to me has shown a greater end product than gms.

 

Gms was a waste of money.

Not necessarily the team I want to play but it's the team I think DM will put out to deal with the physical threat of St J (assuming both May and GMS are fit).

 

Lewis

Logan Arnason McKenna Considine

O'Connor Shinnie

Christie McLean GMS

May

 

Would be harsh on Stewart who I think has played quite well in the last two games but I reckon Del will play GMS so that we have more pace going forward. I think DM will stick with Considine at LB and Shinnie in midfield for this one. I hope I'm wrong Considine should really be on the bench most weeks now.

 

1-1.

Let's have a 0-4.

 

Our margins for success have been worryingly fine this season. Too many of our wins rely on the combination of a single goal, lucky breaks and Joe Lewis. Teams feared us last season and would sit back as we piled on the pressure high up the park. This season we haven't replicated that...our play has become disjointed and slapdash. We look disorganised, lost even. Other teams smell blood.

 

Wednesday night is an opportunity for us to remind the rest of the league that we are here, we are hungry and we bite.

Be interesting to know how the news of McInnes rejecting Sevco played out in Kenny's head.

 

If possible, I'd sell him to down in England somewhere in January.

McLean will sign for Sevco on a free regardless of who is the manager. The media will then spin it as the huns getting some sort of revenge on McInnes by taking one of his best players for nothing. They will conveniently forget to mention that he is not the level of player who will improve them and that he hasn't managed to lay a finger on Celtic any time he has played against them.

The loss of McLean might provide a bit of clarity in our midfield

We need a right footer in there if it's to be shinniesta

This is a good point.

 

Teams do not go into games fearing what we can do against them now. Quite the opposite in fact.

Surprising (on paper) with what we have in attack but we haven't shown any kind of dominance in an attacking sense at all & defensively we are weak as a result because teams know they can push up more against us than in the past.
