Match Thread Motherwell 0 - 2 Aberdeen

[pocrawred]

Hopefully get a win against farts. GIRUY ya third placed hun tramps....

[lazio_don]

Good night for us against a difficult team and overtaking hun2012 is always a nice bonus.

[King Street Loon]

Excellent win.

Seemed utterly in control the whole game according to the biased commentary from Andrew and Dave.

[dave_min]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Derek McInnes.

[Parklife]

Great win. Another victory on Saturday at another tough venue and we'll be going in to the semi final and remainder of the season on a great run and with belief we can achieve something.

[Dynamo]

We're still not using the squad enough. Suspensions coming up and replacements need to be sharp,

 

AND STILL NO FUCKING SUBS USED!

 

[Shinniesta]

Great result but not reading too much into it regarding the semi-final.

 

The AFC team that starts at Hampden will be considerably weaker than the team that played tonight. Centre midfield will be a huge problem for us without McLean and Shinnie.

[Tord31]

Id favour playing Ball and OConnor in midfield at the moment as a solid base to give Stewart, Christie, May and GMS/McGinn the chance to go and commit players with less defensive responsibility

[Tommy]

I did a couple of edits there Thomas - fixed?

A daft cunt told me the game was on Friday and as I thought it was Saturday just took his word as gospel

and thought you’d fucked up.

Apologies. Naughty step for me.

[Andy_123]

I'm surprised (not really) none of the guys who'll need to play in the semi final are getting any significant game time beforehand.

 

However tonight was a good result, especially with Hibs winning as well.

[V for Vendetta]

Might see Ball and if fit Nwakali in for the Hearts game?

[Reliablesource]

Huge credit to Derek here. Bossed it from start to finish.

 

Out of interest, when Kari bumped into Shinnie and got concussed. Was Shinnie booked?

Lol

Aye, we should definitely have dropped Shinnie, Mclean and Logan for the last 2 games.

Arnason has been getting about every other game and Ball a part of every game. Other than that no one really - Reynolds getting 30 mins on saturday was a worry

[1903Fitba]

Do another goal. Only team letting me down on over 2.5

McInnes out

Who plays RB though if you go with that midfield though?

 

Personally I'd put one of Ball or O'Connor at RB and play the other with Nwakali in CM.

[Tord31]

AOC has played so many games in centre mid this season that Id put him a stick on to be in there when we are missing our first two centre mids

I agree. I think Ball is the firm favourite to play at RB in the semi. No idea knows what he's like there but when we signed him I'm sure it was mentioned he could play at full back. He's right footed and a defender so he's basically the best option we've got (as long as we don't play the dreaded 3 at the back).

[V for Vendetta]

OConnor is supposed to have played at right back before he came to us I think.

 

Can't see either if then being that good there tbh

[elephantstone78]

Great Win and performance. Dominated them. Shinnie and king kenny were excellent in controlling the midfield. Stewart played very well too. Dad will be happy, his and ours.

No way it should b that cold at the football in April. When's global warming kicking in ?

[TheRock]

Just back. Though we were better team in the first half without causing them too much bother. Seemed to go to pieces second half when the rain started but apart from one spilled shot from Joe they never really bothered us. Nice to see Kari on the scoresheet again. Thought he looked solid tonight, apart from when Shinnie belted into him. How about McKenna's bit of trickery in the corner near the end? Not short in confidence, is he? Thought Wright looked lively although I suppose you'd be expecting him trying to make the most of every rare opportunity he gets.

[the sheep]

Highlights up on the BBC website already. Stewart hitting form at an important part of the season.

[Oregon Red]

Very good performance ( just watched the whole game on RedTV).

Pity May didnt score ..he worked his arse off.

Aye, there's some right daft cunts out there, right enough ;-)

[Oregon Red]

WE pushed Motherwell all game tonight.

Hope that we can do the same for the Ugly Sisters.

[alscotoz]

That game was important, BIG even. Good to see us come out with the 3 points.

[fine-n-dandy]

Would love Arnason to swop into midfield and to absolutely boss it a la Iceland vs the guffs. Instead hell be CH to sweep behind AOC.

Did Arnason not play all those games as CH?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

My memory was he was sitting midfielder but could easy be wrong. Boys so good probably played both!

[CraigHill]

Great couple of results, I should go on holiday more often!

Beat Hearts and then Motherwell and we are in for an interesting end to a tough season.

Obviously not good enough for another year contact in Derek's eyes...which is a mistake IMHO...
