Match Thread Kilmarnock 0 - 2 Aberdeen

[aberdeen1970]

I see the usual post match arguments have broken out!! 

Good three points. Wasn't much of a game but the team worked hard for that. 

Hopefully go on a run now (famous last words).  Who knows what might open up this year if you keep yourself in the hunt. It's been a funny old season so far.

What arguments?
 

I don’t see any arguments 

 

are you trying to start arguments just to make your point valid?

No I wasn’t. 
His goal was an irrelevance to the result.

His performance was pish.

Weirdos

Don’t talk shite.

Complete fabrication.

He was shit slow & had a pretty pathetic attempt on goal 100%

 

BUT

 

In his ten to 15 mins he got clear twice (albeit at snails pace but still got there) & brought a save from keeper & also had to be taken down to prevent a goal but scored the free kick. Lil harsh to say that was pish. If he done that much every 15 mins of games it would hardly be called pish

 

Not forgetting that was in the ‘game management’ spell where we try park bus & counter & (as you expect) Killie have most of play in chasing game. They had three corners in the time Cosgrove was on field.

I'd like to take a second to appreciate the first time ball fae Campbell for the Cosgrove free kick.....

It was a lovely ball min, shame about his first contribution though that led to Eamonn Brophy''s free kick that just went wise.

However, he can be proud of how he never let that get to him and afterwards put in a very good performance.

Very true on Cosgrove.

A goal and the rest he did in just 15 minutes "is irrelevant" though says the simpleton

Ach I’m not arguing.

We won 2-0 & that’s the main thing 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

As a wee aside to the game, I reckon Dyer might get the dunt soon, with Gary Holt taking over (a big Killie fan too, tattoo on the leg just to prove it).

Killie are on a desperate run & their fans are not happy. 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Good.

[super_al]

Hoben pulled his hamstring. Injuries are piling up again. 

[Postman Pats Cat]

This game was a struggle for me. The last month has been. What a contrast on performance compared to what we had in the first couple of months of the season. The football was really enjoyable but now it is a hard watch and very much the same cack as to what we have had to endure over the last two to three years. Is missing wright and Watkins that deep an scar that it completely changes the way a team plays? Certainly seems that way. And while I am focusing on some low points I expect more from ferguson and mccrorie. If these guys are meant to be international class then they need to dominate more. Its not been good enough from both.

He definitely has. Now he needs to use that physique. He seems to be very half arsed in closing down opponents. 

[alscotoz]

Fell asleep about 20 minutes in. Practising hard being not a 'real' Dons fan.

Good to win. Doesn't sound like I missed much?

Deserved to win. Wasn't pretty, nevertheless could have been a bigger margin with some better decision making. 

Hoban looks like he's out for 6 weeks or so. Yet another hammy (not him personally, just seems we suffer more than our fair share of them)

That was the first thing I noticed too, when he came on.

[fine-n-dandy]

So does Main replace Hoban at CH now?

[Dynamo]

Was a really comfortable win, and could/should have been by more. Not sure why folk are getting worked up. An easy away win always good in my book.

 

injuries a concern though.

Would it be a real post match evaluation without half of the support moaning though?

Welcome 3 points.

Nae the bonniest, but will suffice.

Just noticed, game on wednesday at M'well.
Fingers crossed this can be start of a decent run of harvesting points to give us momentum to take into the hun match at Pittodrie on 10th.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Big Ash had a game that is fairly typical of how he plays 90% of the time. These games tend to go unnoticed. So I'll give him some praise cause I know it'll probably annoy some folk.

[Guest findlay_1903]

Ashton should be more of a threat offensively, he’s like a tree. 
You wood like to think he’d score more from set plays.

Those type of games suit him best when he just has to deal with long balls and win his headers. 

[Clydeside_Sheep]

It was a decent performance and we could have won by more.

A few times we had sight of goal but seemed reluctant to shoot, strange given McInnes later said he had been drilling them to know killie lose goals from the edge of the box as their defence collapses deep into the box.

Hedges worked hard and was a stand out.  Pleased to see Cosgrove get on the score sheet, we can thank Killie's shitty wall for that.

90% of the games we play in then

Not a bad defender to have available?

I don't see him ever going to a higher level but I do think he's a wee bit under rated. I mean he's no 2002 Phillip McGuire but he's ok most of the time

100% this.  Exactly what he was bought for.  Not letting us be bullied by Conference centre forwards.

Teams come at us on the deck, or referees actually apply the laws to Considine's "positioning and leverage" and we're fucked.
