Not an unreasonable shout. 

But like Kelt I like my captain to have a bit of an edge about him.

Spot on.  Few high profile mistakes lately but he's been brilliant for us overall

Best  keeper we have had in years simply going through a bad patch

Most of the first team simply running on empty and not pulling their weight 

How a goalkeeper can be made captain is a poor decision. Blame the manager

How can he speak to players up front and midfield during  a game. He has no influence 

I do wonder if he really wanted to be captain or was it negotiated  as part of his contract

Still my number one

I suspect the captain at Aberdeen gets paid a bit extra. 

As Shinnie was leaving Lewis was negotiating a new deal so the money was probably used to help keep him. 

See Ryan Jack and Graeme Shinnie. 

Although Shinnie was the right choice at the time anyway.

                                                           Hoban             Considine            Leigh

                                              McCrorie     McGeouch   Ferguson   Campbell   Hayes

                                                                       Kennedy          Hornby

 

I don't think the plan would have been to start McGeouch but with Hedges out I don't really see much option. I think he'll put Leigh at LCB with Taylor out but he could go McCrorie at RCB with Leigh at LWB and Jonny pushed over to the right. I don't think he'll start Hendry for the time being.

I have a feeking that the subs who came on (Campbell, Hendry) will start.

McInnes referenced them both post match saying they did well & made a difference.

No idea what the team or formation will be though.

3-5-2 / 3-4-1-2 would be my guess.

                       Lewis

      McCrorie Hoban Considine 

Kennedy McGeouch Campbell Hayes

                      Ferguson

                Hornby Hendry 

[aberdeen1970]

Please don't give us a back three of Hoban, Considine and Leigh. 

My nerves couldn't handle it. 

[1903Fitba]

2-2

 

Ferguson and Hoban for us. 
 

Some shite for them. 
 

 

[aberdeen1970]

Really not looking forward to this one.  Hibs must be smelling blood. 

Big performances needed. Let's see who is up for it. 

Need Hibs to Hibs it again. 

[Guest]

5-0 Hibs, if we concede early at odds of over 100/1.

If that happens DM will definitely be punted?

I mentioned earlier that I could see an old McInnes team grinding their way to a horrible 1-0.

Not now.

The regression is irreversible. 

1-0 Hibs & this place will be fun tomorrow 

[RUL]

Hibs are awful as well by all accounts. 0 0.

[SheepyKnees]

Aberdeen are strangely still favourites with the bookies ?

[starryfish]

Hibs home record is almost as bad as our away record

Hypothetically, Would you take a 5-0 humiliation tomorrow, if it guaranteed DM would get punted?

 

I think I would, as awful as it would be..battles and wars, and all that. That first half on Tuesday was the final straw....

I would go with that, in that formation too. Don’t think DM will though. His principle focus will be not to lose tomorrow and stopping hibs playing.

Ach... Upsides however it goes to me, but I'm relaxed enough in the fact that it's hibs. 

Dons win - I can chuckle about how shite hibs are again. Hibs win - it's another turn of the screw on McInnes.

Like almost all Dons fans hate team getting beat, especially if a weak performance too.

However if a 5-0 roasting guaranteed a management change, then yes would reluctantly take it.

No Watkins, Wright or Hedges. On top of that one of our new signings can't play due to work permit issues. Can't see us winning this.

I for one am absolutely stunned that players who don’t even play for the club are ruled out.

Ha ha. What I mean is that compared to the team we had at the start of the season I think we are weaker.

This is my guess with the middle five scratching their heads as to who is supposed to be doing what whilst Boyle tears us a new one down the fullback-less flanks.

Today may be one of the more tricky line-ups to guess.
I doubt anyone on this thread will get it right. Kudos if they do.

Real scope for a megatombola.

Shinnie captaincy was another McInnes fuckup.

It was clear he should have been installed as captain the day he arrived. Fucking horrific management.

Aye.
Hibs clear favourite with every bookie without exception.

[Stoneybloke]

Whatever team he puts out will still have the same playing style which most other clubs sussed out ages ago. All they have to do is press high and fast, making us lose the ball in midfield and just resort to hopeful lobs which are easily cleared. It all looks too cumbersome and ineffective.
