Match Thread Aberdeen 3 - 0 Ross County

[Guest milne_afc]

They're failing miserably.

[Zeus]

Easy enough win once we scored.

 

Bryson was good. Devlin, Hedges, Leigh also decent.

 

Lost a bit of momentum when Bryson went off.

 

Ricky Foster was the worst player on the pitch. Terrific

[afc_blockhead]

Value bets min.

 

Not all losing bets are *bad* bets.

Someone has a gambling problem ...

[JakieBastard]

Foster getting put on his arse by Hedges was definitely the highlight. It was efficient without ever being dominating. Hedges is a real confidence player, when he is in the mood then he can make things tick. Encouraging performance from Bryson, Leigh looked effective again. I'm still not convinced by Ojo, particularly when we have two players (Bryson and Ferguson) who are tasked with a similar role and do it more effectively

Agree with that summary. 

[NEM]

Woman linesman.

 

Against modern football.

Split arse was the only one that spotted the pen. I’d be tempted to get rid of Collum, McLean, Madden etc and replace them with birds. Canna be any worse

Affordable fun.

 

Win some, lose some. You'll know better though.

Ojo broke up numerous counter attacks and is far more composed than Ferguson. Ojo had another very good game.

[Bamber]

Fet last season we were a bit of a blunt instrument - dare I say very hearts like we seem to be "cleverer" this season

 

less cosgrove more wilson

Split erse world cup would beg to differ.

[Reed or deed]

I put a couple of each way bets on Cosgrove falling down a lot.

 

Won a tenner.

[aberdeen1970]

How come Logan looked taller today?

He's on the same training regime as Max Lowe who's shot up a bit over the summer break too.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Going in the right direction, happy days.

 

Need a few such wins to boost confidence and steady the ship.

 

New signings encouraging again, after a few ppl wet the bed when they didnt all shine constantly.

 

Could have bagged 1-2 more goals.

Split erse world cup would have had it retaken until he missed.

Hedges is a terrific player. What a difference it made with he and McGinn in the starting 11. Creativity and technical skill we didn’t see at Killie. A lot of good runs and movement up front this match - again something we didn’t see at killie. Cosgrove seems to be improving in many aspects since he signed...hold up play, distribution, and even some solid defending once or twice today. His confidence shows in the shot he had saved later on the second half. Tough angle but managed to get it on target with good power, forcing the corner. Confidence is an amazing thing.

[sooth_stander]

Enoyed that today. Turned up with not a huge amount of enthusiasm or indeed hope.

 

Started well. Could have had 3 pens in first 15 mins, 3 assaults on big Sam in the box. Then, Cosgrove should have scored and so should have McGinn.

 

Great free kick routine and brilliant finish from Leigh, who was good throughut. After that, just a matter of how many.

 

Looked to me like a 4-1-4-1, with Hedges floating between wide right and the number 10 role. That was the only issue today; no outball on the right wing when Hedges drifts in. Surely someone has to drift out to replace him? Maybe Logan, when he's fit.

 

Vyner did well today I thought, in an role that can't be his natural position. Got caught out once which resulted in the shot off the post but other than that, pleased with him. And great to see Devlin back, solid as a rock.

 

I'd say 70% performance today, we still have that good bit to go, but confident we will get there. Hedges looks more of a number 10 that Wilson, the latter might be more suited to a wider role in a 4-3-3.

Left at half time, missing the 3rd goal. Obv.

 

Although not pre-planned in any way whatsoever, met my daughter (who was originally out for a meal at Miller and Carter) in the snuggery.

 

One of my pals decided it would be fun to do the  'hands spread beside mouth, tongue out licking orifice' thing at her.

 

Punched the cunt twice before getting pulled off.

 

Have texted him since telling him straight, the deviant cunt will rue the day he thought it was appropriate to be wide.

 

 

Hard as Hendersons.

Who pulled you off? Your daughter??

[Yorston Vasey]

Who pulled you off? Your daughter??

Probably, she's really good at it.

[Redmist1903]

Obviously his pal thought so.

[Poodler]

Good goal by Logan

[Sheepo]

Good win but still cant get my head round playing Ferguson, Ojo and Bryson in the same team at home against a very poor Ross County, also though Anderson getting on so late was a joke. Hedges had a good game as did Leigh, Devlin and Ojo. 

[King Street Loon]

Who pulled you off? Your daughter??

Probably Sanjay.

[Guest]

Thought first twenty minutes ish the lack of confidence still showed.

However once we grew in confidence / realized County were poor a 2/3 goal win was inevitable.

Leigh was decent throughout, as was Ojo.

Agree that Hedges also performed well, as did Cosgrove who continues to offer more than Rooney could.

Was particularly delighted with Devlin's defending, although distribution requires improvement.

Totally agree that DM should have given Anderson more minutes on pitch.

Finally like look of Bryson, once fully fit he is going to drive team no end. A class player no mistake.

[tightbreeks]

Bit different from last season, its early doors but we're ok at home and a bit shit away. Until we play one of the shite, then we'll know.

[Shinniesta]

Definitely a bit of a mixed bag so far this season but a good and much needed result yesterday.

 

That's 11 competitive games we've had this season and to be honest I've still no idea what our strongest line-up is. I hope he doesn't continue playing 3 in the middle every single week. Fair enough in games against the ugly sisters but against the lesser sides I think we should be sacrificing a central midfielder for a more attack minded player.

[DelMonte]

3 in midfield turned out to work perfect yesterday. Ojo sits while Bryson and Ferguson support the attack.

 

Much prefer Ferguson as an attacking midfielder.

It's good that the system worked yesterday and I think McInnes will continue with it as I don't think he will be keen on dropping any of the trio. I'm just yet to be convinced that it's how we should be playing week in week out.
