Tord31 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Injured: HayesSuspended: Logan A couple of changes. Rooney pulling out to the left when we are defending and if we go 1 up we must revert to our favourite 4231 Collin Shinnie Taylor Reynolds Considine McGinn Jack Flood McLean Church Rooney subs: Brown, McKenna, Robson, Storie, Pawlett, Smith, RossPrediction: ? ?Crowd: 12,600 Coyr Link to comment
Brochman Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Team selection for this one is a bit hit and miss. Jack and Flood will be tentative and rusty after a long lay off. Our midfield and defence will have to be prepared to mix it with a St Johnstone team who will put it about a bit as usual. Reynolds and Considine are always struggling against strong arm tactics and if the ground is heavy we will find it difficult to out pass them. DM will have to pick players who are prepared to slug it out which means at the very least that Storie and Shinnie should be considered for the midfield. Link to comment

mutant Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Shinnie is a left back and should stay there . Far better in that position and we are already weak on that wing with Hayes Injured . Link to comment
muttonhumper Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Shinnie was the shining light in that fucking Inverness debacle. He is a true captain. An AFC captain. If Jack gets the armband back on his return to the side I will be most disappointed.I don't think it would reflect well on McInnes either. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Shinnie is our LB & that is where he should stay.Why weaken another position to cover Logans absence? Makes no sense. Jack or Flood can fill in as RB if needed, or even a young player. Would say that Wright should be given this chance to see if he can cover for Hayes also. DM & TD have said that we will have to rely on the squad/fringe players, so they have to be given the chance to see if they have what it takes. Link to comment

It would reflect on McInnes a lot worse to strip his captain of the armband if he's playing. 1 Link to comment
Dynamo Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We were really poor all over the park against Inverness, it's a shame there's no youngsters ready to fill the position of Logan and Hayes though, would be a good game for it. Imagine we'll see Jack and Flood back in the first 11, not that i'm particularly against that with Logan suspended and Hayes crocked. Want to see more from Church this game and McGinn will be key so he needs to turn up. Link to comment

RAZOR Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hoping to make this. Team have had plenty of rest days recently. Its time to get back on track. Link to comment

Bollocks.It would show McInnes as being weak when the obvious solution is staring him in the face. Think he means he supported rangers as a boy and now plays for us. You think wrong.As you well know.

muttonhumper Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Without looking to start a disagreement, what does that actually mean? In the mould of Buchan, Miller, Anderson? If given the chance, I'd say with his attitude and will to win, he has the potential for that. Link to comment

If given the chance, I'd say with his attitude and will to win, he has the potential for that. To use the old expression and obvious comparison. An AFC captain will watch Rougvie hoof the ball plus as much of Davie Provan as possible into Row 11 of the Jungle and then run 40 yards to protest to the ref that we don't get the throw in! A will to win. Not a Hurlock/Brown-esque complete immunity from the rules to do what you want and expect to get away with it, rather to be the player that all the others aspire to and take their lead from. An utter disregard for the team your against. Respect them as capable players for sure. Miller still lists Breitner and Rummenigge amongst many many more than capable adversaries. But they knew that if they wanted to prove they're better than us they should expect to have to earn it. Simples. Don't get hung up on the armband. Shinnie is the captain on the pitch and rightly so.

Patches Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Staying up Friday and Saturday this weekend, first time in years I've not just driven up and straight back down the road, after the game, so to say I'm looking forward to my weekend is an understatement ???? Hopefully a good dominant win is on the cards, but to be honest at this stage of the campaign any win will do. But I'll go 3-1 to the Dandies Link to comment

I don't think that is "An AFC Captain". I think that is just a leader. Paul Hartley was an example of a natural leader on the pitch - I don't think he would care who he was playing for, as long as he won. Link to comment

He was a fairly poor leader for us as I recall, after St Johnstone away he didn't give a fuck whether we were winning or not. Link to comment
Daz the Don Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Logan defo suspended?Defo, the right crack slot is an interesting call the manager this weekend. Please, please not Shinnie Link to comment
Zander1903 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Jack on the right, Storie to keep his place ftw! Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Maybe Jack can earn his place in the team & become Logans replacement. He has played his way out of midfield imo. Link to comment
Redstar Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 He was a fairly poor leader for us as I recall, after St Johnstone away he didn't give a fuck whether we were winning or not.The 9-0 showed just how much Hartley was holding together a team of complete losers...it was 0-0 when he left the park.

Tord31 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Shinnie at RB is not necessarily what I would choose.. I am telling you it is what mcinnes will choose. Link to comment
Guest the shepherd Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The 9-0 showed just how much Hartley was holding together a team of complete losers...it was 0-0 when he left the park.Aye but you could see the complete lack of passion went he calmly accepted his red card that started the downfall that day considering who we were playing. He was more interested in savouring and being in awe of the atmosphere from the Main Stand at Parkhead as he slowly left the pitch that fateful day rather than protesting with Alan Muir about his questionable red card. To be fair though I liked Paul Hartley's celebration when we equalised in the fourth minute of injury time in the Scottish Cup quarter final against St Mirren down in Paisley. Now that was passion.

DelMonte Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'd be very surprised if we ever see Jack at right back for us again. I think I preferred him there. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 St's signed a defender http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35630342 Wright sees he's got a dodgey defence & looks to strengthen it & not rely on his attackers to get him out of jail. McInnes should take note. Fair enough to bin Quinn. He wasn't that great really but he needed replacing with better & to not even replace him at all at this stage of the season was criminal. If he thinks McKenna was good enough to cover then why wasn't he in the squad v Caley? Some will see this as a dig at McInnes & it is because imo he gets let off with simple mistakes like this because "we were shit before he was here & all that by the way" Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Could be wrong here but did we not have the league's 2nd best defensive record until quite recently? Link to comment
