Match Thread Dundee 0 - 1 Aberdeen

[Old manny]

Need to look deeper than that though, we were stinking

No argument there and our season all depends on the quality of any signings we make if we do make them. Right now it is looking a big if.

[aberdeen1970]

We need a pacey striker, it's painly obvious

Definitely. Pace and power required up front.

[fine-n-dandy]

We need two strikers one of which to be the marquee signing.

We need another winger (Johnny Hayes maybe) to give us the options on McGinn through middle in number 10 role sometimes & we should sign a decent right back that can maybe do a job in central defence & LB if needed.

 

Please do not sign another AOC or CH that can 'possibly' do a job as FB

[dazzy_deff]

How did we line up? Back 3 or Shinnie at left back?

I think we've enough defensive players in the squad once the injuries and suspension issues are resolved, probably after the international break. Wouldn't complain if we brought in a left back though

 

I definitely agree we need strikers and a winger though.

[CraigHill]

Scrappy three points, but will take that to get them on the board.

 

(At least one) striker and a number 10 role required.

Alternatively a winger and play McGinn in behind.

[aberdeen1970]

I think we'll see Christie here yet. Rodgers just doesn't fancy him. Couldn't even hazard a guess at who the striker might be.

We have enough left sided defenders.

 

We need competition & cover for Logan.

Hoban could be out longer than we think but he can cover at LB if needed.

Sick of us having needed a LB for so fkn long & not doing anything about it, so time we switched our frustrations to the failure to do something to improve the right side now.

 

Besides, Hayes returning will fix/improve our left side again

[dave_min]

Three points, clean sheet and we go above the Tims. Nae a bad day all things considered.

Aye, but haven't you heard the news?

 

We're fucked this season. Hearts, Hibs & the Huns are all finishing 2nd.

[fine-n-dandy]

Aye, but haven't you heard the news?

We're fucked this season. Hearts, Hibs & the Huns are all finishing 2nd.

Now you mention that.

One of them will this season.

 

I will take. £100 bet to charity with you on that if you like?

 

That's even before the window closes & we finally have more players in to strengthen your chances.

[aberdeen1970]

Big 2 weeks in the transfer market for the manager.

[mcdougall(4)]

anyone advocating the return of hayes and christie can fuck off

[super_al]

Gleeson looked good today.

[King Street Loon]

Some 'fans' booing the Durrant song, a bit of infighting too, great stuff!

Durrant song and Simmy song got a good airing first half. The young eens were fighting amongst themselves at full-time too.

A few Blazing Lambs and Foundry Reds seemed to be ejected at half time for the shenanigans at HT.

[fine-n-dandy]

I will happily pay £100 to charity to finish second this season. Happy to lose that bet.

 

Hell I would pay a fkn considerable lot more than that to finish first

[King Street Loon]

Irrelevant

Correct. Abysmal today.

[King Street Loon]

Yaaaaas take that ye jute cunts.

Ex Arab too lol

The home fans were giving him pelters the whole game. They really fucking hate him.

[King Street Loon]

How did we line up? Back 3 or Shinnie at left back?

Back 4, although Shinnie seemed to forget that he was playing there on occasion.

[DelMonte]

Folk thought Cosgrove was good.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

3 points, well done. COYR. Cut our losses with certain players and really sign decent ones moving forward because we will do bugger all with this squad as things stand.

 

Fingers crossed. Wins a win.

Who?

 

Folk just didn't write him off as early as you. Sometimes folk can be right writing players off early or sometimes it results in being embarrassing.

 

Cosgrove however is close to being completely written off by me. Looks terrible recently. He was no where near as bad the last 4 games of last season.

[robbojunior]

£100 bet where you get 3 teams and he gets one?

 

Brave

[King Street Loon]

When we look back on the season the record books will say 1 nil Aberdeen but that was not pretty. Solid at the back, devoid of any real creativity in the middle and aimless up front. In fairness to the forwards they're getting fuck all to work with but what they do get they do nothing with.

I liked Anderson again. Did more than Cosgrove and had a good shot off the bar.

2 cameos, 3 chances. 1 header past the post, 1 goal and a shot off the crossbar.

[Old manny]

Aye, but haven't you heard the news?

 

We're fucked this season. Hearts, Hibs & the Huns are all finishing 2nd.

 

I've heard that on here plenty from the usual suspects right enough, but I still reckon Derek will guide us to the dizzying heights of second again if we get a half decent striker on board. Hearts and Hibs are not capable of grinding out boring 1-0 wins with the same consistency we can while the new Messiah at the Huns looks like a fuck up waiting to happen.

[BWG]

Cosgrove is a striker from the Carlisle reserves. He was never going to be anything other than shite.

 

Its ok though because we have 'plenty of time left' to sort this shit show of a squad.

[fine-n-dandy]

The home fans were giving him pelters the whole game. They really fucking hate him.

lol yeah, all the better that he shut the cunts up

£100 bet where you get 3 teams and he gets one?

Brave

Yeah but they're three shite teams & the dons have been the best of the rest for years now.

 

Ok, I'll bet £100 against your £50 if you like.

 

Either bet (not both) is up for grabs to first taker.

[aberdeen1970]

What's the deal with Forrester. Was clearly one of the main targets as he was in relatively early and we paid money for him. Yet he's still to start and has barely featured.

 

Carrying an injury?

[mcdougall(4)]

is it 9 games in a row cosgrove has started we haven't lost

 

he might be shite but...

[Torry Tosser]

If ever a side needs a good striker,then its us...Don't think May will ever score.

That Marquis loon scored again.

[V for Vendetta]

anyone advocating the return of hayes and christie can fuck off

I wouldn't be upset if either came back but I really don't get the near obsession for these players from some people on here.

 

Fuck hanging about until Celtic want to help us out with a few cast offs- lets get scouting and bringing in our own players.

[DelMonte]

Its ok though because we have 'plenty of time left' to sort this shit show of a squad.

Yeah we do, for once you're right.

[scottymc]

We need to look a bit further afield for our signings.

 

I was actually quite impressed with a few of Dundees new signings. Very tidy on the ball and werent scared to have a ping.

 

Why do we always look to England when Deek knows (because he keeps telling everyone) that the market is totally inflated. We might find a few gems if we speculate to accumulate and all that
