Match Thread Aberdeen 3 - 1 Hibernian

[Betty Swallicks]

Less than 100 seats left in The Red Shed. Should be a decent crowd albeit due to AFCCT getting a heap to hand out.

We need a Livi, County & Well loss & St’s/Utd draw & of course win for us. 
 

first two results are probably the most likely of the five. Though Hearts have a lot of injuries & are also in a good position to fk over the likes of Hibs & gift Livi a wee win

Looking at the fixture list I think it's best if United win the next 2 games they have, Motherwell win the 2 v St mirren and livi and hearts win all 3. Along with us winning it would wipe St mirren, hibs, livi and County out and allow us to take our place in top half with united/well.

united have st mirren, hibs, dundee 

Motherwell have St mirren livi and St Johnstone

Hearts have Livingston Ross County hibs.

Then obviously we have hibs County dundee.

We won't win but we might get a draw. Two clubs punching below their weight.

Hibs finished 3rd last season and are currently 4th, they're not punching below their weight in that respect. Though in saying that the difference between 4th and 10th right now is just 5 points. Outside the top two just various levels of shite to the bottom. Though I suppose right now Hearts might have an argument against that. But they will be drawn into it too. If not this season then another.

Was talking this season. Should be a decent gap between us, Hibs and the rest?

I suppose if there were a solid pecking order there should be, but in this day and age there isn't one outside the top. There is relatively so little money it's created probably as close to an equality as the league has ever had.

Just need this season to end tbh.

Our budget is still far bigger than all but the arse cheeks, Hibs & Hearts. There is no close to equality really but the table doesn’t really reflect that much. There is equality with the arse cheeks, then an equality with us/hibs & hearts then an equality with all the rest. 
 

Essentially 3 different groups. 
we are the only side in league performing way below budget/expectations. Rest are pretty much on par with budgetary expectations with maybe a couple of the lesser ones performing above. 
 

we are easily the worst club this season in the league thanks to Cormack/Glass. Cormack has a lot to make up for in Summer by supporting Goodwin like he did his wee experiment puppet Glass. 
 

Hopefully no Similar trends appearing again where average managers were well backed by chairman then they underperformed & the incoming managers suffered for their predecessors shiteness & board weren’t as willing/able to back them.

Cormack MUST back Goodwin financially in summer

[Just Dandy]

That young guy Melkerson looks like a goal threat.

Which is mainly what Hibs were lacking.

My usual optimism is suspended for this game. 1-1.

[RUL]

The positive yesterday was that Hibs seemed to totally lose their way v 10 men. The negative is we will probably have lost the game early doors like Motherwell.

If he doesn't Goodwin should break his nose and knock out his teeth implants.

Considine and Watkins both in the squad Saturday.

Good news, wonder if Considine would play full back and allow Hayes to play up the park?  Maybe give Considine an hour and take on Watkins with Hayes moving to full back.

I wouldn't have thought Considine would be playing any part in this match

Aye. Unless both centre backs get injured during the game I'd imagine he'll have his arse firmly planted to the bench 

Good to see folk starting to come back though. Would be useful if Watkins could stay fit for more than a couple of weeks for a change.

I think we’ll be the least shittest in a celebration of shitness.  Probably in shit weather. And just generally shit.

can’t wait.

Thats a archetypal Aberdonian  assessment, I concur

Any word on Dante Polvara , I hope we give him a chance

I know looking at highlight vids isnt exactly a fair reflection but he looked solid from what I saw I just worry as a Glass signing his peg may be somewhat shoogly

Not convinced he was a Glass signing. If Cormack was genuinely looking to get rid of Glass in January i doubt he would have sanctioned him buying any players. I reckon Polvara and Besuijen were both Cormack / Gunn signings.

[aberdeen1970]

Polvara was  Bobby Clark signing

Goodwin talked about it. Said it's why he got rid of Brown, as his preferred 3 is McCrorie, Ferguson and Barron and Polvara energy appeals to him. So I think we will see him a bit before end of the season.

[KidCreole]

Cool thats given me a more optimistic feeling, As zero said if he is a Cormack/Gunn signing that suggests we will see more of him, We could really do with another flamboyant player to get the fans excited, Besuijen has impressed me so far evidently a class above what we are used to and if Dante is in that vain we could have a really exciting line up

Really I didn’t see that anywhere , I’m obviously not ITK 

I does fit his style of player though , potentially a good blend if Ferguson stays for next season 

[thurso]

As long as we play better than we did against sevco and actually get a shot on goal we have a chance of winning Hibs are just as bad as us so nothing to worry about. Win and get closer to top 6 then push for Europe 
 

[Woolenrouge]

Listening to the manager's preview, he was asked about JET's chances of any game time. His direct response was basically he's a fat lazy cunt and he's been told to get fit.
