ollie1903 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Honestly haven't seen a squad nearly this strong since 1989/90 under willie Miller.Willie Miller wasn't the manager in '89 Link to comment
Diesel Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Willie Miller wasn't the manager in '89you're right Willie getting credit I see for Alex Smiths team. Link to comment
Shinniesta Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Honestly haven't seen a squad nearly this strong since 1989/90 under willie Miller. Today - I was looking at the Aberdeen squads from 96 onwards. Its actually appalling to see the recruitment we made during that time up until Craig Brown joining. Theres no surprise we were so poor for so long - we simply signed utter crap. Thankfully we've learned our lesson.I still think we are two players short of what would be ideal to compete in all three domestic competitions I think we still need another defender and a midfielder. We may not be as lucky with injuries as we have been in recent seasons. Hopefully one more permanent signing (it seems the money was there for both Maloney and either May or Moult) and a loan signing to beef the squad out to where it needs to be. Luckily we have some adaptable players like Shinnie, McLean, Arnason and O'Connor who can comfortably play in more than just one position. 1 Link to comment
Mr Brightside Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hoping to see arnason start today, think Maynard will continue up front with may getting the last 20-30 mins. 1 Link to comment
1903Fitba Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 3-1 Dons. O'Connor, Maynard, Maynar. Link to comment
Diesel Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Can see GMS and Stewart start in place of Wright and Tansey rest the same,not that I'd drop Wright just think that's what DM will do. Link to comment
CalgaryDon Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Willie Miller wasn't the manager in '89 Sorry min well corrected - I was referring to Willie Miller's side anyway to which i believe our current side to be similar in terms of depth and quality. Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 2-0 Maynard and Logan. Link to comment
CraigHill Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 8v3 to the Dons to mark the cheesiest week of marketing ever had. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Its exciting when game day comes now. Lots of options for the line up. Quality players all over the forward areas. Players with potential do get better as they re find good form and confidence and understanding with each other. Christie, Shinnie and Wright have started well but can't wait to see GMS, Stewart, Maynard, May all start to find their A game with us - its going to be incredible when they do. Link to comment
KidCreole Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Am going to try and watch the Hibs game while listening to the Dons, Should be interesting and very confusing. @@Grays Babylon 1875 are you going to the match pal, If so good luck I really hope you guys stuff the zombie cunts 6 - 0 Link to comment

vanderark14 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 1-0 to the dandies. Rooney to score Link to comment
Quagmire Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Would be tempted just to go with what's perceived to be the strongest starting 11 now. Harsh on Wright but he's there if County are proving stubborn to break down. Lewis Logan AOC Arnason Considine Shinnie McLean Stewart Christie GMS May 0-3 May, GMS, Rooney Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm guessing May will be on the bench not in the starting 11. Derek is usually too loyal to put someone straight in when signed? I think the biggest question of the day is will Arnason come back in? Link to comment

Zander1903 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 May Starting Arnson & Wright on the bench Link to comment
redstrummer Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 No start for Christie !! he should start for me . Some bench we have like Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Where's cockney don and the team line up?Bit late there, busy getting my head shaved and drinks for the train tomorrow. Link to comment
Diesel Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Some squad now when you see it,Christie getting a rest COYR! Link to comment
KidCreole Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 No start for Christie !! he should start for me . Some bench we have like I assume the squad is being rotated to rest players who need it after quite a busy few weeks, Fucking great we are able to do that this season while still fielding a winning squad, Some fucking bench we have Link to comment
stirlingshen Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Seeing that bench really hits home the depth of attacking options we've got now. Could replace 3 of our front four without any drop off in quality if we are struggling for a goal! Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 9 out of 11 players starting have proper numbers. Decent. Link to comment
northernlights Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 As has been said we are perhaps less than the sum of our parts just now, given how many new additions make-up the team, but individually that is a very strong first team pool. COYR Link to comment
