Dons V.s Killie

[Dandyjam]

Pish match. Freezing cold. That is all.

[Dynamo]

Clark was probably our best player. He never hid, a true battler if you will and his second half performance in particular was brilliant, He found his man with his 5 yard passes 76% of the time and instead of taking a man on, he checked up, and passed back the way. In our pursuit of a point, I've pinpointed Clark as man of the match.

[Stoney]

Chalali jack and fyvie were fucking dire thought mcardle reynolds and arnie played well.

 

Draw very much a fair result

[stumain]

Missed out on being in 6th place with that draw

[Stoney]

Big deal

[laphroaig]

We so need some spark in our team, been dire for so long.

[Foster14]

Fyvie looked knackered after 5 minutes.

 

Chalali was the only person that looked like he'd make anything actually happen.

 

Terrible game.

[Donmacca]

I would say clark robertsonwas our best player today. I think in the second half of the match jack and fyvie looked shattered and unfit

[Redstar]

Hearts 5-2 St Mirren FT

(HT 2-2)

Zaliukas 1

Skacel 23Skacel 64Skacel 68Sutton 90

 

A creative left sided midfielder with goals in him...let's not fu*k around...pull out all the stops and break the "wage structure" to get this boy onboard!!

[K-9]

We only had one attempt on target, but beat them convincingly on corners.

And if keeper never saved it then it would have been an own goal. Aberdeen had no shots on target!!

[Stoney]

Fyvie looked knackered after 5 minutes.

 

Chalali was the only person that looked like he'd make anything actually happen.

 

Terrible game.t

thought chalali was the worst player on the pitch and cant believe he lasted so long

[Stoney]

Is Osbourne going to be back for Ibrox?

 

Far rather we had him on Aluko *crunch* than McArdle :ninja:

 

Wouldnt touch defence after a clean sheet thought they did well

[fine-n-dandy]

We so badly need someone like Skacel it's scary.

 

Offer him a pre contract on a decent wage (more than Hearts will likely offer) take the chance.

Can speak to him now at least, no harm. His contract is done end of month.

Sound him out.

 

Imagine a midfield of Skacel on left, Milsom inside, Arnie other right centre mid & Jack on right?????? How good would that be? Best midfield at Aberdeen in donkeys years & donkey being a very apt word over the last while.

[Foster14]

thought chalali was the worst player on the pitch and cant believe he lasted so long

 

Wouldn't agree on that. Vernon and Chalali had no service the entire game. They were having to go deep to get involved and got fuck all support. Both were hindered because of that, but I thought tried hard and did alright when they were in the game.

 

Biggest issue for me was the poor performance from the midfield, who were all pretty poor. (including Arnason).

[stumain]

Mackay-steven, gardyne, imrie any 3 of these recently/soon to be signed arabs would be usefull for us, but Brown seems to be after solid, strong, direct robots.......Gamble and live a little Mr Broon ffs

[sheepiekev]

Is Osbourne going to be back for Ibrox?

 

Far rather we had him on Aluko *crunch* than McArdle :ninja:

 

Cant see it...not with a hamstring injury.

And Aluko is playing on the right for the vermin, so we need a decent left back.....and thats NOT Clark feckin Robertson.

Nowhere near good enough to be a first X1 player for AFC.

Mawene is a bit of a bomscare, but I'd play him and put Reynolds to left back.

 

If we go to Ibrox with McArdle & Robertson at full back, we are in for a horrible time of it.

 

Assuming Pawlett & Osborne are injured;

 

Brown

 

Jack Mawene Considine Reynolds

 

Fyvie Arnason Milsom Clark

 

Vernon Chalali

 

I also have a feeling Broon will go with just Vernon up front.

[laphroaig]

We have no chance of getting Skacel, would love to see him sign, but will not happen.

[MincePie]

We need 2 wingers and 2 full backs, preferably someone who can actually cross a ball. We missed Milsom badly today.

Says it all abou tthe quality of the match today

 

My head was always calling this one as a draw, shame we couldn't outdo ourselves and break into that tope 6.

 

I am so frsutrated of being stuck down in 9th

[fine-n-dandy]

Sounds like Killie changed tactics from their normal & went for the Craig Brown type stifle the midfield game.

They came to defend & choke the game & hit on the counter, which to be fair to them you could argue that they have the forward & creative players more capable of this & if Brown complains about these tactics, then he'll being contradicting his own style of play.

[Redstar]

We have no chance of getting Skacel, would love to see him sign, but will not happen.

 

You're probably right...It's way beyond the ambition of AFC to sign a creative player when there are so many mediocre CB's we could sign.

[K-9]

Is Osbourne going to be back for Ibrox?

 

Far rather we had him on Aluko *crunch* than McArdle :ninja:

Looking like 5 weeks i was told at game today as proper tear but going for another scan on Monday.

[Stoney]

Dissagree thought killie made more of an effort to win than us

[laphroaig]

Only 1 team trying to win that game in second half and it wasn't us. 5 strikers on the bench and when we did eventually put 2 of them on (no idea how Chalali lasted 77 minutes either - nor any idea how Fyvie was left on 90) we decided to put Megginson out wide and play 4-5-1 in bid to hold onto draw.

 

Chalali and Robertson look like 2 kids completely out of their depth and Fyvie has just gone completely this season.

Was being sarcastic, the boys mince. Terrible 2nd half.

 

Least he's only here another 2.5 seasons.

[wilm1542]

Fact is our team isn't great. We're picking up points and have only lost 1 in the last 8 games which is something i guess. We desperately need more width and creativity but i think we might have to endure until the summer where we can punt the likes of Mackie, Paton, Magennis etc and replace them with better players in different positions.... Can't see us in the top 6 unless we bring in another 1 or 2 this transfer window

Do you actually think Brown will sign full backs and wingers though?

I dont.

When he was Scotland manager he played 3-5-2 alot.

No wingers.

Even his "wing backs" were players who didn't ordinarily play there.

He played Craig Burley ar right wing back on occasion, and Christian Dailly at left wing back sometimes.

I cant see him signing any creative wide players this window or in the summer.

Not his style, never has been.

Same as last January talks then but in summer we never signed the players in the positions they were obviously needed.

[minijc]

Under Calderwood we'd have won that game because we would have had width and creativity, too negative under brown and lack ideas, summed up by Mcardle when he had to point to a player to go on to the wing. On the Balance of things we desereved a win.
