First game in a long time. My word, is Scottish football in a dire state or what if that was the 2nd and 3rd best on display.   A draw would have been fair but 3 points is welcome.   I am definitely n

I reckon we'll see a 4-4-2 tomorrow:

 

Langfield

 

Magennis

Anderson

Reynolds

Considine

 

McGinn

Osbourne

Clark

Hayes

 

Vernon

Fallon

 

If McGinn and Hayes can get the crosses in then I'd fancy Fallon for a headed goal or two given that McPake is likely to be missing for Hibs.

 

Good shout.....but would Broon go 4-4-2 with two wingers in the 4?

If we do have as many injuries as has been rumoured, then I would bite your hand off for the draw now. Just so we can stay intouch with Hibs.

 

We cannot expect to go to Easter rd with such a weakened team & beat an in form Hibs.

 

One point will have to do us but three would be a massive result if we can nick it. :crossfingers:

Yeah obviously I ALWAYS want us to be going for it from the start (regardless of who we're playing) but I'm just saying that 1 point would be acceptable given it's away & we're struggling with injuries.

 

No reason why we cannot take all 3 points even with our weakened squad but anything but a loss is ok given the circumstances.

 

Just as long as Hibs dinny get out too far in front of us in the league.

"Aberdeen manager Craig Brown: "The Hibs support are a wee bit impatient if their team isn't doing well. They tend not to be as supportive as some.

"We've seen Easter Road emptying when things aren't going too well for Hibs.

"So our job will be to silence the home support and please our own terrific away following.

"We have to try and maintain our very encouraging away form. We've been excellent at Tannadice, St Mirren, Kilmarnock and in Perth.

"If we were at full strength, I'd be super optimistic. At the moment I'm just cautiously optimistic.""

LOL How embarrassing is he every time he opens his gob?

 

How many do you think will make the trip to Easter Road?

I tend to listen to what PF is saying, I tune in to his media interviews, I read his club statements, and to be fair I think the wee man talks the talk. He eats, sleeps and shits fitba, loves the game and you can clearly see that if you hear anything the man has to say.

 

On that note, any chance of explaining, from an outsider's perspective to a dyed in the wool Hibby, what about Fenlon make you think he is "bitter"?

Herald article with George Yule.

 

 

Good to see the realism. Doesn't expect to win the league but believes it's possible. Does expect to finish 2nd. Meaning that's a minimum requirement in my book.

 

GEORGE Yule has an idea of where Aberdeen should be in Scottish football and they are 90 minutes away from getting there.

 

Supporters of a certain age can recall the club going to Easter Road and wrapping up the 1980 league championship with a victory over Hibernian. Those days are long gone but three points in the same fixture this afternoon would elevate Aberdeen to second in the table, leading the challenge on Celtic. The club is so unfamiliar with being at this end of the division, at this stage of the season, that no-one could be surprised if there were nosebleeds all round. Yule simply regards it as Aberdeen beginning to punch their weight again.

 

One of the signs of mediocrity is silence. As Aberdeen perennially bumped around in the wrong half of the league for much of the past 15 years, it became a club with less and less to say for itself. That seemed to change when Yule became executive vice-chairman in the summer. It wasn't long before the millionaire North Sea oil and gas businessman was making declarations about finishing second in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League and taking the challenge to Celtic. Suddenly manager Craig Brown had someone in the boardroom who was going around lighting fires around the place, as if to waken everyone up.

 

New arrivals can quickly sound silly when they go around making bold statements but Yule has seemed refreshing and interesting because, unusually, Aberdeen have shown consistently sound form on the pitch.

 

"What people need to understand first of all is this," Yule began. "There is no conflict at all between Craig Brown and I in terms of our ambitions or expectations. A club this size needs to be challenging for the league. Do we expect to win it? Absolutely not. With the resources Celtic have you expect Celtic to win the league. Do we expect to aim for second place? Absolutely, 100%. Craig is the same. I go out there expecting to win every game, even if we don't do it. Anyone at the club who expects anything other than a win on a matchday is doing the club a disservice. Reality kicks in, I'm not an idealist with my head buried in the sand, but I have an ambition to challenge for the title."

 

There's no mystery about Aberdeen's improvement in 2012. In January and again in the summer they signed familiar, established, senior names: Russell Anderson, Gavin Rae, Stephen Hughes, Jonny Hayes, Niall McGinn, Gary Naysmith, Mark Reynolds. There was not an unknown overseas player nor English lower-league journeyman among them. In Ryan Fraser they introduced a direct, brave winger who, when not getting hacked down by opposition defenders, has further illuminated their season. Despite the setbacks of a Scottish Communities League Cup exit to St Mirren and a tame home performance against Celtic last weekend, the foundations have been built for a highly promising campaign.

 

The form has been satisfying for Yule, of course, but he has also tried to change the club's general attitude. Stewart Milne, the Aberdeen chairman, has never been an outspoken figure and he has tended to surround himself with directors of similar discretion. The club has continued to be influential in SPL politics but it has lacked a voice. Yule's appointment may change that, and Milne himself had recognised the need for a change of emphasis. "I think the common perception is that the club had lost its way a bit in terms of community engagement," said Yule. "I can understand that a bit because when you're unsuccessful you don't really have an appetite for showing your face in the town. So people in the club, at all levels, kinda went into their shell. What I'm saying to them now is that there is an opportunity this season. There has been major restructuring in the board at Pittodrie, there's been quite a bit of change in the SPL because of the Rangers stuff, so look on this as an opportunity to improve.

 

"What has been missing at the club has been visible leadership. My opinion is that part of the reason for that is that it's less hassle to hide in your shell when things aren't going well than to go out there in front of a camera. I just need to be very careful that I don't build up heightened expectations because it's taken the guts of two decades for the club to get in this position. But I think they needed to be more visible and the leadership needed to be more visible both outwith and inside the club. That's not to imply anything against the incumbent [Milne] because he was carrying a huge workload on one pair of shoulders.

 

"The club has let fans down time and time again over the past couple of decades. We are in a fortunate position in this part of the country because it's a fairly affluent region, we're not in competition with another professional club like they are in Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, but we are in competition for providing entertainment and value. We have to think more about being a customer-based business and we need to provide value for our customers and look after them. If we don't look after them the results are self-evident. But there is no question that there is a latent support in this area despite all their letdowns."

 

Enormous issues hang over Aberdeen. The club doesn't know what to do about a stadium given that staying at Pittodrie is not a long-term option and a proposed move to a

I would suggest you are being a bit naive...Kev will be along in a bit to explain the "bitter" statement...most probably from a parocrial point of view.
