This will be a cracker...

[1903Fitba]

3-1 dons. Storey x3

[BWG]

Crucial game. We'll draw 1-1.

[Dynamo]

Don't see any reason for the team to change from last night.

Aberdeen 17 St Johnstone 6

Duncan Shearer 6

Paatelainen 5

Jess 2

Dodds 2

Bernard 1

Alan Main own goal

Who's getting the blame for the St Johnstone goals?

[RUL]

Clangers

[King Street Loon]

Same starting XI as last night except Shinnie and not Hayes to start at LB.

That team and we will win.

[The Cockney Don]

1 - 1.

Kenneth with the goal

[RAZOR]

The tactical genius that is Tommy Wright will make this a difficult one.

 

I hope we win.

I suggest we get TVS to take him out prior to kick-off with a dive-bombing guano attack. Right into the eyes so he has to go to see an emergency ophthalmologist.

 

With their master tactician thus neutralised, the way will be clear for The Famous to romp to a comfortable 4-0 victory.

[V for Vendetta]

As others have said Crucial game in the wake of recent disappointments.

 

By fcking up against Rangers we have made things very hard for ourselves in December, we have lots of games to get through and very little room for error. None in fact I'd say.

 

Max points needed from the next 2 games but I'm not hugely optimisitc once the tombola comes out and also when our players are knackered due to failure to use the squad effectively.

 

Or we do use some squad players but they've had so little game time the last 2 months they fail to produce on the day.

 

Failing to manage the whole squads confidence, match fitness, hunger will catch us up in December I reckon.

[Hewitt a the pies]

O'connor to continue his scoring run AND hoof that nigglin mouthy arsehole C*nt W*ank Steve Mclean up the arse at every single opportunity. For some reason he hates us.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we all so hope you're wrong but we have a nagging suspicion you're bang on!

 

Throw in AFC traditionally stuffing ourselves (see what I did there) at Christmas, but in fairness a contra dynamic in that we've never had a proper January shut down to look forward to and recuperate before and we're in uncharted waters.

[Rebel Red]

Difficult game this - they're a dirty bunch and well coached by Wright. I can see them scoring but 2-1 for the reds. Must win.

[RTYD]

No need for Jack to be brought back in. Same team as last night.

[Thor Steinar]

I'll be fucked off if Jack inexplicably comes straight back in again.

[Robbie Winters]

Big decision for DM to leave the team well alone as we know he should but I am going for he will change it. I can see a Jack for Maddison scenario

[Parklife]

I'll be fucked off if Jack inexplicably comes straight back in again.

He should come in for McLean. However McLean is Derek McInnes' love child and will never, ever lose his place.

[DelMonte]

Jack will come in for Pawlett IMO.

[Pubes Macdonald]

4-0 Dons

McGinn 2

Rooney

Hayes

[Guest RosemountRed]

Keep Jack and Taylor out.

[the_shrimp]

Really didn't miss Jack yesterday.

 

Only a fool would mess about with a winning team, unnecessarily.

[robbojunior]

Don't see any reason for the team to change from last night.

 

The team changed about 5 times during the course of the game last night.

 

 

 

I'd happily have same starting XI, but nae the positions he started them in.

Shinnie LB for FUCKS SAKE DEREK.

[buchanskii]

McInnes to play Stockley upfront to counteract St Johnstones strength in the air is an inevitability.

[Guest RosemountRed]

Even though Stockley is shite in the air.

 

How about we just play it on the ground rather than trying tubster them at hoofball?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

McInnes to play Stockley upfront to counteract St Johnstones strength in the air is an inevitability.

And Taylor to counter them at set pieces. Of course that displaces Considine (and forces Des to the left) but that's OK because he's concerned his midfield triangle is soft as shite so let's put Shinnie there to counter StJ's strength. Fuck, that now means we've a player too many so let's sacrifice McGinn. Ahhh but that wily old Fox will sus that so let's put Hayes on the right to fool him. Pish, that means we're unbalanced and that StJ right back Foster is there to be got at. So let's pull our creative midfielder and stick him on the left. Oooo big hole in the middle now, Jayden you'll have to come deep mate to compensate.

 

Who needs a tombola!

[Tord31]

agree with comments above.

 

Would be happy to see an unchanged side but predict mcinnes will recall stockley, jack and taylor

 

rooney, pawlett and madderz to be the fall guys

Be quite pissed off if he does do that.
