Match Thread Aberdeen 0 - 2 St Johnstone

[Tord31]

I said after the sevco debacle that if we won our next three games that game would be long forgotton.

 

No injury or suspension worries but should we start thinking about rotating the team for the next couple games?

 

Lewis

 

Logan Taylor Reynolds Shinnie

 

Jack McLean

 

Christie Pawlett Hayes

 

Rooney

 

subs: Alexander, O'Connor, Considine, McGinn, Stockley, Storey, Wright

prediction: 2-1 Dons

crowd: 11,900

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Tempted to make sure of the 3pts but the boys are clearly tired like. A lot might depend on who wins tomorrow.

[Shinniesta]

We need to make sure of the 3 points in this game and hope Celtic win at the snakepit on the same day. That will guarantee second place then we can start thinking about resting players for the remaining league games (with the exception of our trip to the snakepit where McInnes must play his strongest side we need to go all out to beat them down there and finally break that 26 year hoodoo).

But then you're playing second stringers against our forthcoming cup opponents? Hence my comment above. A lot depends on result tomorrow.

I'm probably being contrarian as fck but beating Sevco Rangers might not require the "strongest" team tbh, sometimes a change of personel and style can be just as effective? eg, play someone more mobile up front and rest Rooney.

No idea why you feel the need to drop Considine?

 

That defeat to rangers won't be forgotten unless it's avenged at ibrox and then again in the final if those bastards get there

[Redforever86]

It's hard to tell who to drop as you don't know how the players are feeling exactly. I'd certainly think about switching McGinn in for Hayes. Possibly Stockley starting for Rooney or certainly getting him some game time from around 60 minutes.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Still no Storey then!

Yep i'd do something similar.

 

Basically the back 4 don;t need rested but the others probably could all benefit form a week rest at some point.

 

Use Christie in every game for one thing and that'll allow us to rest Hayes, McGinn or Mclean.

[RAZOR]

Getting boiled post match.

[RUL]

The club should Surely release a package for home games including cup final ticket... Get the home crowds up.

[dave_min]

Out.

 

Anybody want a free ticket?

I dont think there is any point playing Pawlett. Why bother, his mind will be on playing in England and not getting injured.

 

We should wrap up 2nd before rotating. Once that's sorted, blood the youths.

[CalgaryDon]

Play the best team possible. Don't bring in the likes of Pawlett and Storey. They aren't going to be here at the end of the season. Win this and The Rangers lose - we finish 2nd. Play the best possible team.

For whatever reason he shites it alongside Taylor in big games. It's pulling Considine out of position too. Reynolds was apparently brought back for pace but clearly wasn't fit for 90 minutes.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Surely after about 3 or 4 years at left back we can't say Considine is out of position

Need to think ahead to cup final as 2nd place is foregone conclusion. At the back, no point in playing Taylor in cup final, absolutely hopeless unless the ball is 6ft in the air. Hayes is carrying some sort of injury so leave him out too. McLean potentially our key player so would give him a break for this one too.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

No, I mean he's getting pulled in centrally (maybe he's told to) to plug the gap. His efforts at LB have been exemplary.

[Granite95]

After a nervy cup win I'm hoping we can kick on and wrap up second next week (as others have said). Personally I dont see Deek changing the side for the hammer throwers game. Going to say 2-1 win for us. With 2nd hopefully secured I'd say bar Shitebrox away and the Tims at home we rotate the squad a little bit. Give guys like Ross, McLennan and Wright a decent run out. Maybe give Pawlett one last game in a Dandies shirt but wouldn't really give him much game time, as people have said he's probably more concentrated on starting at MK Dons and nae picking up an injury here before he goes.

2-1, Rooney and Hayes to get the goals for us with Chris Kane to score some shite tap-in for them

[Lencarl]

 

Kenny Miller believes he will still be playing Premiership football next season even if it is not with his current club Rangers. Aberdeen and Hibs are interested in the 37-year-old striker whose preference is to remain at Ibrox.

 

The sun newspaper at it again.

[RAZOR]

We should DEFINITELY take Miller if we can

 

His finishing has improved so much whilst his pace and fitness have hardly dropped

 

Brilliant player

Can't argue with that

[shut up meg]

I'm with MT on this one, maybe not got the legs for a full season but he is the perfect pro and would be a good addition.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Can't argue with that

I can. He forgot to mention his attitude and professionalism.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I would definitely take Kenny Miller. Can't see it happening though.

[Tord31]

Would not be against taking Miller but I dont think he'd come to us so nae point chasing him too much and being the same as the Boyd situation a couple years back

[Tord31]

So six games to go this season and Christie is not able to play in two of them.

 

Would certainly have him starting the next two games so others can have some rest

[reekie_dock]

Was thinking same, Nae chance he'll come up here

Yeah, I'd take him too although his legs have to go sometime.

 

I mentioned he'd be a good addition a few weeks ago and most people on here were pretty negative if I recall.
