Motherwell Away

[NorthernLights24]

I'll probably head down for this one, anything would beat the mind numbing tedium of Boxing Day with relatives.

 

A 2-0 win and we would go above Motherwell on GD but we haven't won on league business down there since August 2008 - http://www.afcheritage.org/matches/fixtures/mreport.cfm?fixture_id=4957&squad=Senior&season=2008-09

I wasn't going to go, but I remembered last boxing day and it was like you said, 'mind numbing tedium' with relatives.

 

I'd take a point just now, given all the injury's and fixture congestion.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Would take a draw. Think we'll lose.

[fine-n-dandy]

Well seem to be pretty hit n miss this season & yet are still up there in the league, so credit where it's due.

They'll be hurting from our cup win still & after getting beat from the buddies as well,.

 

This game may have a bit of bite to it & I'd take a draw now as well, even though we seemed to have found a way to play with such a diminished squad

[sheepiekev]

Will there be pay at the gate?

I'm not back in Aberdeen until Boxing Day and was planning heading back after the game.

If it's all ticket (which would be daft) does anyone know if there's a portakabin type arrangement behind the away stand where you can buy tickets, similar to the like of St Mirren away?

Good man Ollie

I'll get myself along before heading back up the road.

Hopefully we'll get a decent turn out.

[MURRA]

Would take a draw. Think we'll lose.

and you thought we would lose against st johnstone as well. maybe better to look on the positive side Scrooge!!

Motherwell v Aberdeen - Wednesday 26th December, 3pm kick off.

 

 

Mental kick off time for a midweek fixture. TV is ruining football.

Take it you're taking the piss.

Boxing day is just like a Sat

[ollie1903]

Ha ha aye, I concur. Ridiculous time!

[muttonhumper]

I fancy a win here.

Play anything like we did yesterday and I think we will.

Whapped their arses down there only a few weeks back, despite the close scoreline.

2-0 us.

[muttonhumper]

Oh aye.

Spoke to Hughes yesterday.

Thinks the Well match may be too soon for his return.

Hopeful of being ready for the Dundee match.

[laphroaig]

Leave the big chap in goals for this one........Jason's gonna eat ya.............

[sheepiekev]

Here's what I think Brown might go with;

 

Langfield

Shaugnessy Anderson Reynolds Considine

Hayes Vernon Rae Magennis

McGinn Fallon

 

Subs; Jason Brown, Robertson, Masson, Megginson, Jordon Brown, McManus, Smith

[Tord31]

Any sign of anyone being back from injury?

[sheepiekev]

Any sign of anyone being back from injury?

 

Reading between the lines, from the ones that were unavailable on Saturday, Langfield will definitely be available and possibly Hayes & Considine.

If they are, I reckon Brown will play all 3....instead of Brown, Robertson & Megginson

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

and you thought we would lose against st johnstone as well. maybe better to look on the positive side Scrooge!!

 

and I thought we'd beat Kilmarnock 5-0... my negative predictions are for the best!!

[robbojunior]

I'm in for this one.

 

I reckon brown should name an unchanged team.

After dominating against st J it would be daft to change.

 

Put Hayes and consi on the bench. Hayes as impact sub if its not working.

[Roo]

I'm strongly considering it, the only thing putting me off is the drive there and back, i don't know I can be arsed with it - and it's a long drive home if we lose!

[ollie1903]

Clark out for the foreseeable future. Stress fracture.

 

It was revealed this afternoon that Chris Clark has stress fracture and looks like being out for a considerable period. We all wish Chris a speedy recovery.

 

Craig Brown spoke to Dave Macdermid for RedTV this morning and previewed the festive fixtures.

 

"We are looking forward to the holiday period but even more so January and February by which time we hope to have a lot of the players back playing again. For the game against Motherwell Jonny Hayes should be back, we are hopeful Andrew Considine will have overcome his virus and will be available and there is a chance to of Ryan Fraser and Stephen Hughes being fit but we are waiting for the doctors report ofn then. Thankfully there were no new injuries picked up in the St Johnstone game.

 

"Jamie Langfield is back after suspension. I am not saying who is playing in goal at the moment. It is only fair I tell the goalkeepers first and I only do that an hour and a half before the game.

 

"I am glad we were able to give the Aberdeen fans an early Christmas present with the victory over St Johnstone. The main thing that pleased me was the fact we started the game with ten players under the age of twenty one in the squad. We had Mitch Megginson and the two full backs Clark Robertson and Joe Shaughnessy starting and every substitute - Danny Rogers, Declan McManus, Michael Rose, Cammy Smith plus the three that we put on - Jamie Masson, Jordon Brown and Craig Murray were all under twenty one. I think they might be a record in the SPL this season. We also have players such as Nicky Low, Peter Pawlett and Ryan Jack waiting to come back into the side.

 

"Motherwell have a three point gap over us at the moment so we do not want to lose anymore ground. Last season we went down and won in the cup and then lost the following league game. We don't want a repeat of that.

 

"We then play Dundee. They are a better team than their league position suggests. I said after the game at Pittodrie that they are not the worst team we have played all season and I really mean that. They are a dangerous side and it will be a tricky fixture."

I used to think you were a bit of a self righteous cunt Ollie.

 

I now love you more than Jesus.

 

Merry Christmas. That's a fucking wonderful present you've just delivered.

Disagree...... Hayes in for Megginson.....every day of the week

[Betty Swallicks]

Tak a dra, then beat the jutes, then beat the other jutes.

[Tord31]

Tak a dra, then beat the jutes, then beat the other jutes.

 

agreed

[fine-n-dandy]

Tak a dra, then beat the jutes, then beat the other jutes.

 

 

Agreed also.

I'd be delighted with that.

 

7 points from 9 would be great.

 

9 would be awesome though

 

With MachineGinn scoring a double in all three games

[Redstar]

If Fatty Broon retains his place in goal we will not lose this one...If Clangers returns I'm predicting a loss...such is my lack of faith in the Paisley Pri*k

You should consider a career as a pundit - such expert analysis every post

[dazzy_deff]

Stephen Hughes in contention to start according to Sky Sports News! Would be good to see him on the bench and ease him in after an hour or so.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Any other potential news on the line up? I think we should give Masson or Brown a start in midfield as they would have to be pretty terrible to be worse than Vernon in there
