Match Thread Aberdeen V Partick Thistle (4 - 0)

[fine-n-dandy]

Got to be confident of winning this but I hope we approach it right & don't slip up like we did against Hearts, St Mirren & County.

 

 

If we can win our next two games it will see us on a 5 game winning run & give us a massive lift going to the piggery, with a chance of catching up to them a little.

 

Also wouldn't surprise me to see Utd taking something off Celtic, so all the more important that we win on Mon night.

[buchanskii]

Is Shaughnessy out for this?

 

Clark Robertson out also?

[fine-n-dandy]

Is Shaughnessy out for this?

 

Clark Robertson out also?

I'd guess so. Joe will possibly have a two game ban & Robertson will possibly be out for a while.

 

Chance for Hector to get back in the side. & also a great chance for the young RB Murray to stake his claims.

 

 

Edit:

Craig is accused of breaching disciplinary Rule 200, with the wording of the charge "violent conduct by kicking or attempting to kick an opposing player [namely Ryan Stevenson] in the face".

If the complaint is upheld, the player will miss the following Premiership match and one match in the League Cup.

Does this mean that Joe will have the same ban for violent conduct?

[buchanskii]

Can see Jack being asked to fill in at RB, with Robson taking his place in CM. I think we'll line up:

 

Langfield

Jack Reynolds Anderson Considine

Robson Flood

McGinn Pawlett Hayes

Zola

The unexplainable Zola start/win statistic to keep going, 2-1 to the good guys

[The Cockney Don]

Expected to win, which in hand will mean a tight affair, 1-0 Dons(Hayes) .

[fine-n-dandy]

I'm going for a 4-1 home win & McGinn to finally start hitting the target by not going for the spectacular & then missing the bloody target all the time.

 

Robson free kick, McGinn double & Vernon

Think the SFA have still to publish John Beaton's match report, so no word yet on whether Joe's ban will be league or cup. I think if he classifies the challenge as violent conduct, then that's the only way the punishment will be exercised in the league.

 

As for young Craig Murray, I still think he's recovering from the op he had last month.

 

Looks like the RB slot will be Jack's then, unless Hector is played there like he was at the end of the Dundee United game. Would probably mean Robson starting as well.

Yeah I see Liam Craig is getting a two game ban (one in league & one in league cup) for violent conduct but he tried to boot Stevenson in the puss

Is your team limping on Tup?

 

Mine is going from strength to strength.

[tup]

Aye but I'm considering packing it in, bored with it now.

Never mind you're going to the Hearts game tomorrow.

It is great that we have lots of options now to cover for injuries and suspension. It's a pity that we might be without both Shaughnessy and Robertson for the next few games, since it looked like finally we were getting a settled back four performing well. Jack could of course cover the RB position, but I think DM may use Hector there since Jack & Flood have been consistent together in the midfield. Considine is an obvious replacement for Robertson, although Robson can play in that position as well. Gregg Wylde can also cover at left back so we have plenty of options. Assuming our two full-backs are out, I hope to see: -

 

Langfield

 

Hector Anderson Reynolds Considine

 

Pawlett Flood Jack Hayes

 

Mcginn

Zola

 

Subs: - Vernon, Weaver, Robson, Wylde, Low, Smith.

 

Vernon and Wylde definitely deserve game-time, and would be my first choice substitutes, although it depends how the game goes of course!

Have the lads at Fyfe and Moir finally given you an auctioneering gig?

[a don in oz]

Balls. The game is on Monday night?

[ericblack4boss]

Just got 3500 metres of fence to put up by 30 November but on the plus side my biggest paying job ever.

Need any help?

[Tord31]

Injured: Robertson, Magennis & Murray

Suspended: Shaugnessey

 

Langfield

 

Hector Anderson Reynolds Considine

 

McGinn Jack Pawlett Flood Hayes

 

Zola

 

subs: Weaver, Robson, Wylde, Vernon, Smith, Low, McKenna

 

Prediction: 2-1 Zola and McGinn, Dons to reclaim 2nd and reduce gap to 4 points at the top

[The Boofon]

Which is psychologically great as at 3pm today all the talk was Celtic about to open up a 9 point lead. They're away to County next week as well and that's no easy tie.

 

A little luck and two wins against Partick and Hearts and we'll be going to Paedo-dise looking to go top of the league.

[Redstar]

Chances are the Brooner will be in charge for this one...he'll set up for a 0-0
