Why the fuck would he play ojo more like 

[Zeus]

Gurr off the bench to score the winner late on 

[Poodler]

Ferguson shouldn’t be playing he’s grieving 

[sooth_stander]

Can only assume Watkins is only 50% fit

It’s a 4-3-3 but easily interchangeable to a 3-4-3 with Brown taking a step back and Ojo and Deano taking a step forward

Correct. Very odd decision. He's arguably oor best player (when fit and selected).

[strachanmcgheegoal]

100% want and trust Deano to do well of course. Mcgeouch meh, still to be convinced.  But this used to really piss me off about McInnes who'd give zero minutes to players in the lead up to big games and then expect 90 minute miracles from them under the most trying of circumstances.

Injury driven for sure.  But whats the combined minutes of the lowest three players there in terms of playing time?  Double figures? 

[Wee red K]

Glass is on par with Mcinnes with his ludicrous changes. Watkins was the best player on the park at the weekend. So what does he do? Drop him. Sooner glass gets the punt the better

[minijc]

Lol at thinking Watkins is dropped, our fans really are smooth brained.

So long as Watkins fit for Saturday, not overly fussed. 

Up the fucking Dons.

[King Street Loon]

An injury prone player being eased back into things. 

Nothing to see here.

[aberdeen1970]

Campbell and McGeouch both in from the cold away to the Huns. 

Risky. 

Could be a 352 with Brown as sweeper? 

It's either that or a back 4 with 2 midfielders at full back. 

 

 

[aberdeen1970]

Is this game not on as part of the sky deal? 

[Torry Tosser]

We're up against it losing the 2 fullbacks....Calm doon about Watkins,apparently has stomach upset...Shits.

[Poodler]

NG’s flowers for Walter Smith on behalf of Dons Fans DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME 

 

 

 

edit, only naming the person as he made a public post on behalf of dons fans

He’s just coming back from injury & maybe the advice from the sports science people is that 3 games in 7 days is too much just now?

I agree if he’s fully fit it’s daft to drop him, but I’m guessing he’s not.

They play a 4-3-3, my guess is he’ll match up. 

3 at the back against a 4-3-3 is against perceived coaching wisdom… so 3-4-3 it is ?

Ojo and Hayes at full back is pretty risky too

Nope, full SPL card and not a minute on Sky.

Fuckin geniuses who sorted out that deal.

I ken but ffs their coverage is boring as fuck with the same games every single season. 

And a midweek game would have been ideal to mix things up a bit

The fact Sky are not showing us or Hibs v Celtic instead of Preston v Liverpool reserves tells us everything about what Sky think of Scottish football & what a shitty deal Doncaster negotiated. 

[DelMonte]

Fear we will lie down here. 

[Alex Ferguson]

Song for the night.

Cheer up Sevco Rangers, oh what can it be to be crying over Walter like a big Hun fanneeeeey!

This is going to be like pumping a somewhat cute fat bird. A whole day of anticipation followed by 20 minutes of excitement ultimately leading to a couple of hours of self loathing and depression.

Dropping our best player is a fucking mental move.

Just back from injury, keeping him for Saturday or if can influence later in the game.
