Aberdeen V Dunfermline

[Jazzer_Bett]

That there isn't an official match thread just one day before the game is a mark of the despair in our support-! Mods if you want to merge this with the crowd guess thread go ahead.

 

As the match draw closer I have feeling this might be one for the Dazzler. The chips are down and we need a loon that is willing to put his face in where the boots are flying-let's start him for the battle and see how he goes. I can see McArdle playing at right back for the same reasons-it will be a battle and the manager will favour him over the younger Jack. I'd also drop Milsom fo Pawlett.

 

I'd play a 4231 as discussed on the other threads but we will most likely go 442;

 

GONZALES

 

MCARDLE

CONSIDINE

MAWENE

FOSTER

 

FYVIE

OSBOURNE

ARNASON

PAWLETT

 

FALLON

MACKIE

 

Subs; the rest

[Dynamo]

Aye there's no point picking your preferred line up because Brown will ineveitably have different ideas.

 

I think he'll go..

 

Gonzalez

 

Jack

Arnasen

Mawene

Considine

 

Clark

Osbourne

Milsom

Foster

 

Vernon

Fallon

[Monkey]

EE suggested tuesday that Foster is a "major doubt" for the game and Osbourne also has an injury that may rule him out.

 

Bit of Good news bad news there.

[Jazzer_Bett]

Yeah well he's been saying he wants people who will fight and Clark isn't that so i'd be suprised if he gets a start.

 

He needs pace on the wings so Fyvie and Pawlett would provide that for me - and preferably he'd get them flashing balls (ooer) early across the box.

 

Not rocket science - if you keep blasting balls into the oppositions box something's got to give.

 

I reckon Mackie and Fallon would make a nuisance of themselves (although i'd prefer to be saying Mackie and Fallon will have a cutting edge that will prise them open).

 

I rekcon Mackie is the one to go for, in our hour of need - never thought i'd say that.

 

[Jazzer_Bett]

As I touched on in another thread - the manager mentioed that Foster picked up an injury at MWell and he was going to hook him at HT but he played on - that set him up nicely to drop him for this game.

 

I fancy Ozzy the warrior to play through the pain.

[K-9]

Team selection will be most interesting thing in this one after Browns comments about playing those willing to work. First 11 will be ok but those not picked or even worse those dropping to bench will almost immediately be looked at as those singled out by Brown for not being willing to put in the effort which could lead to splits in dressing room.

 

Also think team dynamo posted will be the one picked if Foster is fit. If not no doubt another four or five positional changes with jack in midfield, Clark rb, Milsom left and probably magennis on right.

 

Edit. Think fyvie will play if Foster out

[Dandyesque]

My team (assuming Foster is missing):

 

Gonzales

 

Jack Mawene Arneson Considine

 

Pawlett Milsom Osbourne Clark

 

Mackie Fallon

 

If Osbourne is out, bring Fyvie in

 

 

2 - 0 Aberdeen

 

Fallon to score both

The depress has all doubts fit for this one.

 

Yeah think the front two will definitely be Fallon and Mackie, has to be surely?

[Betty Swallicks]

I predict 0-0 and a content Broon.

[K-9]

One change. Fyvie in fir Clark. Seems talk is cheap. Coyr

[Dane Beer]

Gonzalez, Jack, Mawene, Considine, Foster, Fyvie, Arnason, Osbourne, Milsom, Vernon, Fallon

 

Subs: Brown, McArdle, Clark, Mackie, Pawlett, Chalali, Magennis

 

 

2-0 Dons hopefully.

Quote from Craig Brown in his interview tonight:

 

"No game is a must win game"

 

Can anyone explain that one to me?

[zoltanvarga]

EVERY game is a must win!

[Bobby Connor]

EVERY game is a must win!

 

That's a point that has been lost on the players since 1991!

 

Casual attitude.

[robbojunior]

That's a point that has been lost on the players since 1991!

 

Casual attitude.

 

And our manager clearly!

First half we have been superb. Easily best all season. Milsom and foster magnificent. And as I type 3-0.

[Jack_Glass]

3-0...awesome and a performance to go with it. Be nice if Fallon & Anri can bag a goal each 2nd half.

[GK55]

Sounds like Aberdeen are playing well, and deserve a 3-0 lead at HT.

[ScottishJohn]

Dominating and have a well deserved 3-0 lead.

[GK55]

Just saw the goals on SSN - good finish from Fyvie

[K-9]

Could easily be seven nil. Have to admit never thought this team capable of this. Sent out to attack with fast pace and the difference to usual sit in defensive pish is unbelievable.

[goteborg83]

Any word on what like a crowd?

[muttondressedaslamb]

This is fantastic. Must have had 15 shots on target already.

[J4MRU]

I thought we played ace V Killie couple weeks back, it was all us for the first 20.... BANG 2-0 Killie! And we looked alot more capable than we were showing!!

 

Glad they have put in a performance tonight, They should be forced to play attacking fitba from now on.
