Match Thread Partick V Aberdeen (0 - 1)

[The Cockney Don]

Sunday 23rd November ---- Kick-Off 12.45pm at Firhill Stadium (live on the box)

 

Two possible changes for the dons:

Robson in for Flood(if he`s out injured)

Anderson(if fit) in for Taylor .

 

In or Oot : Oot (no football attendance from me at all that weekend )

Prediction : 2 - 1 or 2 - 0 Dons (McGinn & Rooney)

Crowd : 4,100 .

 

 

edit : just realised Shay`s suspended

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Doubt we'll switch Taylor and Logan in the same game, unless we're really forced to. Good we've got 2 weeks to get over injuries.

 

 

Have to say Taylor has grown on me big style. Rarely misses a header, last minute corners excepted! It's consi who seems to be most at fault for their second albeit I accept Taylor and Reynolds are both drawn to the front post and thus MIA.

[The Cockney Don]

Just realised Shay is suspended,

i`d have Anderson at right-back, keep Jack as defensive midfielder .

 

(if willo is out and russell is fit)

Brown

Anderson - Taylor - Reynolds - Considine

Jack

Robson

Pawlett - McGinn - Hayes

Rooney

Anderson at right back???

3-5-2

Brown

Taylor, Reynolds, Considine

Pawlett, Jack, Robson, McGinn, Hayes

Rooney, Goodwillie.

 

Change the team to suit personnel available.

[G31DON]

Going to be interesting to see who plays RB. If Jack goes there to cover and Flood is out with hamstring that leaves no effective DMC. Robson is too slow, Low will have no match fitness if fit at all. Is it Craig Storie that is the 2nd choice for RB?

Have we ever played 3 at the back under DMcI?

[King Street Loon]

Storie is no right back.

We've played 3 at the back at some points this season.

I've thought we've looked comfortable doing it too.

Hayes on the left Wing back duty and Pawlett on the right.

Mcginn in behind Rooney and Goodwillie.

[Sonoftherock]

Anderson at right back???

 

Guffaw

 

I actually laughed out loud too!

 

One of, if not, the worst right back I've seen pull on an Aberdeen jersey - in his younger days. I'd say he'd be even worse there these days, given that his mobility has been impaired by injury and age.

[northernlights]

Brown

 

jack Taylor Reynolds Considine

 

McGinn Robson Low Hayes

 

Rooney D'Goodwillie

 

I'd go with Low in there if he's fit to allow Jack to play at RB. I dont think Anderson will make it. If Lows not fit why not just give young Murray a chance? He's already got 1st team experience. I agree with sentiments about Taylor, he is doing well. We must get more from our forward players, since we had enough chances to beat Celtic.

[barassie_afc]

we still have no youngsters able to play full back..... some youth system

Murray?

3-5-2

Brown

Taylor, Reynolds, Considine

Pawlett, Jack, Robson, McGinn, Hayes

Rooney, Goodwillie.

Change the team to suit personnel available.

If Anderson is fit I'd drop Considine, stick Reynolds on left of three & Anderson in Middle.

Also swap McGinn & Robson about.

 

Be interested to see how that works for this game.

[King Street Loon]

Murray?

Injured is he not?

Would be a certain starter if fit.

[Dynamo]

yea looks like it going from the team lines of the last few U20 matches.

McKenna then.... Great player.

 

McInnes took him to preseason with first team so looks to rate him.

 

In saying that, maybe he was just he only available full back at the club.

[Dynamo]

He's been on the bench recently too. I'd start the young guys, let's see what they can do.

[StandFree1982]

As good a game as any to play a few of the younger loons. Start with Shankland up front as well.

 

If it doesn't work out then we have subs.

[tommo1903]

Craig Murray should be fit for this one.

 

If not Jonny Hayes will be at Right Back.

[King Street Loon]

Didn't realise McKenna was a fullback.

Thought he was a centre back.

 

I'm all for giving youth a chance, but McInnes doesn't seem too keen on it.

Id like to see Cammy Smith a sustained run in the team. Pawlett has been poor.

[The Cockney Don]

McKenna isn`t a Full-Back, but then again nor is Considine .

 

I`m still sticking with my guns of playing Anderson at right-back (if Flood and also Low aren`t available) .

[TwoStars]

Craig Murray should be fit for this one.

 

If not Jonny Hayes will be at Right Back.

Would rather see McKenna or even Harvie in there. Both look much more solid.

Seems to have moved into the centre this season. I personally think that's because he's more commanding and sees more of the ball in the middle.

So long as he's not another youth CB shunted out to FB and hung out to dry when things go wrong.

Playing Robertson and Shug in the FB position has hardly helped them.

Did they not do the same with Anderson at the start of his career?

[King Street Loon]

Anderson was fucking shocking at RB.

I'll take your word for it.

I liked Craig Murray from the 90 minutes he got against Alloa last season though.

Just worry about him physically. Good enough on the ball and very intelligent.

[Henry]

Good to hear, the team needs more brainboxes IMO.

 

What's his specialist subject on Mastermind?

Contestants specialists subject on Mastermind is believe it or not his specialist subject on Mastermind.

[Tord31]

If not Jonny Hayes will be at Right Back.

Hadn't thought of Hayes that is exactly what will happen if Ando aint back. If Ando is back it'll be Taylor right back - stick on
