Match Thread Aberdeen V Inverness (3 - 2)

[Scotty_Toronto]

10 goals in our last three games since playing Rooney and Goodwillie at the same time.

 

The pace and attack in our recent home stand has been more than welcome.

 

Entertaining wins with 3 and 4 goals a game by the Dons at Pittodrie is what the support has sorely been missing.

 

Hopefully the lads will make it 4 out of 4 on Tuesday.

[Dynamo]

Played some nice stuff today and created many quite a few good opportunities.

Invited Caley on late on in the game. Didn't have as good a grip in the middle of the park. Thought Robson was mince.

Goodwillie/Hayes/Logan/Taylor all had good games.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Good win. Entertaining match. Actually looking forward to Tuesday!! Rooney & The Rapist up top again!

[Poodler]

if you ignore Jamie Langfield, as I often do, today was about perfect. Taylor solid in the air, Logan and Hayes were excellent and Reekie is tidy.

[ollie1903]

Flood had to do some amount of work today as Robson was a mile off the pace. In saying that, his game awareness is fucking awful, highlighted when he tackled Logan as he was away to break upfield with the ball in the last minute or so. Good win though, entertaining game. Hayes and Taylor excellent

[ollie1903]

Oh, and Langfield for their second

 

[AFCaketin]

Missed Jack today, he controls the midfield. Robson is past it.

 

Disappointed with the goals we conceded but got a good response each time. Pretty scrappy stuff but our pace and both strikers caused them problems. Low in for robson on tues is the only likely change (clangers hopefully as well but that wont happen).

Poodler spotted in section Y. MiniJC too. It is very much the AFC Chat section.

Spotted Mini from afar. General Y section at the back was dire, running commentary from a bunch of folk who seem to know fuck all about football. Highlight was a tirade at Langfield after their second, merited after making himself extra small and turning his back to the scorer.

That must've been us for the second goal? He was fucking hopeless.

 

I'll be honest here, Goodwillie is fucking brilliant, workrate, movement and touch all sublime, one of the best games of all round forward play I've seen from a striker in years

Mini and I just solved the gaza crisis in the wig.

 

Have we met before?

 

 

Goodwillie is superb at holding the ball up, all three games in the last week he's been so effective. I now think he's innocent of rape.

Nah, it was someone nearer the back than you were. A bearded chap.

Ah well, myself, k-9 anbd Stoney all lost it when mongo chops turned his back on the second goal.

Agreed.

 

But some boy behind us in the Main was getting ripped into him. Fuck knows what games he's been watching but it's nae the same games I've been at!

[minijc]

I'm sure that every chance we had today involved Goodwillie at some point, he makes Roonys' job easy for him as Rooney will tap em in but Goody links up well all over the pitch.

[Foster14]

Key to Goodwillie is having a strike partner, he just isn't a lone striker. Just isn't his game. You could see the good link up play and touches from him earlier in the season, it was just always having to go back the way.

Totally lost the midfield late doors, completely over ran. The Jack factor?

 

I disagree with most folk; I thought ICT were not a bad team, and thought Badcock was poor today, his worst game of the last few he's started.

 

3 points, although not sure we deserved them all.

-1 absolute fool

[Stoney]

attendance? lulz

[the sheep]

Have to disagree. Regardless of the fact that he didn't score Goodwullie today he is the reason we won that game today and his overhead kick was sublime. As I predicted Goodwullie is the first all round striker we have seen play in a red shirt for some time.

 

I would agree that Jack was missed but I think Barry needs a few games to be match fit. The guy hasn't really kicked a ball this season. However, not sure that Barry and Flood is the best partnership in midfield regardless of fitness. I think Low should be given the Jack role.

Hardly chief...if played as an out and out Striker McGinn is better...

[fifered]

Great result but I don't think the overall performance was outstanding as some others do. Our midfield was off the pace and there were huge gaps throughout the match that gave caley, particularly Draper far too much time and space. The two up front was good but also came with the cost of not controlling midfield like we normally do. Might just be the fact that it was Robson in central midfield and not jack or law. Robson is far to slow these days to be playing in a two man central midfield. Hopefully two games in 4 days is too much for him and low comes in v St mirren. Great result though, particularly after going one down.

A bit much hype about goodwillie after that as far as I'm concerned as well. He needs to get his finger out and start closing down with some purpose instead of the half hearted attempts he makes just now.

[The Oxford Don]

How did Shinnie play for them? Serious question.

[TwoStars]

Willie Miller just said Caley have a stronger squad than us. BOLLOCKS.

He also said Nicky Low could play a tune with his left foot, think he's lost the plot like.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Go on then. I'll take the controversial route. Robson, whilst blowing out his arse for the last half hour, still kept us in the game. The reason we struggled was because Hayes picked up an injury so we didn't have the out ball we needed. Then made worse when consi was stuck in the middle as Reynolds bizarrely was ropey as fuck. Robson's mouth kept us together despite the best efforts of his feet, switching the play to section y being the stand out moment.

 

Caley don't have the better squad but they've more depth than I expected. Everything comes through Draper though but because he comes from deep it's hard to pick him off (and I suspect is why GW is being slagged for not giving him a first line to beat for a start.) Their stand out for me was Charlie Christie's loon. He'll be a star if he can muscle out like pawlett.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

How did Shinnie play for them? Serious question.

 

I thought he looked decent.

 

We were lucky not to concede a few times due to Considine's lack of pace at full back. Shinnie is the answer!

 

Nothing against Considine I stress - he's just hopeless when not at centre half
