Match Thread Aberdeen 1 - 1 Celtic

[Tord31]

Injured: Devlin, Hedges, Taylor, and Leigh

 

Doubtful: Lewis

Lewis

McCrorie Hoban Considine Mackenzie

Ferguson Campbell

Hayes McGinn Kamberi

Hornby

 

I'd start Kamberi in the deeper role he finished the Livvie game. Fingers crossed Joe makes it.

That team still looks more than a bit shite but hopefully we can still give them a good game.

[sheepcrooky]

Currently any team with McLennan not in it is better than any team with McLennan in it. 

[NEM]

I’d swap Ramsey in for McRorie. He’s badly needing a rest*

I reckon Glass will go with;

                        Woods

McCrorie Hoban Considine MacKenzie         
                 Ferguson Campbell    
             Kamberi McGinn Hayes 

                          Hornby

Maybe Hendry up front

The Tims at -1 is a decent bet.....Paddy Power has them at 3.1
They actually played pretty well against the scum and should have had about 4 goals from what I saw.

Woods

Ramsay   Hoban   Considine. Mackenzie

            Ferguson.    Campbell

   Mcginn                         Hayes

                    Kamberi

                    Hendry

2-1 the good guys

Aye I think that will be the team as well.  I liked Kamberi in the deeper role, don't think he's suited to be the centre forward playing right up against the centre backs 

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

New manager, 3rd place to fight for against a team in absolute free-fall. If we lose this we really are pish

[muttonhumper]

Woods

Ramsay - McCrorie - Considine - MacKenzie         

Ferguson - Campbell    

Kamberi - McGinn - Hayes 

Hendry

 

Thanks now.

[sooth_stander]

Last saturday's XI, with Kennedy and McLennan in it was, in reality, a starting 9.

Wondering if the ageing McGinn and Hayes will miss this game, with the Utd game on sunday of far more importance.

I'd like to see McGeouch get some game time

Woods

McCrorie - Hoban - Considine - MacKenzie         

McGeouch - Campbell    

Ross - Ferguson- Kamberi

Hendry

[Betty Swallicks]

If we're 4 or less points behind hibs after this I'll be happy.

Recent form wouldn’t suggest ‘absolute free-fall’ really would it?

We are closer to that description than Celtic are

[Durrant Dived]

Looks like Taylor is back, hopefully for this one.

They’re not really in free fall though.

Aside from the hun defeat they’ve won 7 & drawn 1 of the last 8 I think it is & rattled in a few goals.

I’m not expecting anything other than a defeat.

Think how we’ve been playing.

Glass has been left a shit show to clear up & bear in mind how inept we were for 70 minutes against Livingston. I’m writing this season off & looking forward to next season. 

We can but hope. But I can’t see it.

That doesn’t suit the agenda I was feeling

Only thing we can hope for is Brown asking a favour of his teammates to help him get more Europa games next season ?

[sooth_stander]

Zero chance of Brown playing in this game tomorrow night, or the following 3. Maybe their last game.

[aberdeen1970]

Aye I think they'll rest Brown tomorrow night

Is he injured? Don't see why playing against us would be an issue for him or celtic.

I agree I think the manager will leave Brown out.

I think we've an ok chance in this if we can fight for everything.

[Ten Caat]

If we can't beat a Celtic side with no permanent manager, with nothing left to play for, with it's captain joining us and almost certainly not taking any part and with it's best player working his ticket out of the club alongside a few others.........when can we beat them?

Says a lot about how shite we are that I'm still not confident we will even take a point never mind all three though

[Sheeptastic]

Surely an opportunity here for Stephen Glass to outline how he wants his Aberdeen team to play Celtic and Rangers. 

Putting the result to one side for a second, the positivity and belief he could get instilled in his management from the fans would be significant if we went out there and pressed high, played aggressively and attacked persistently at the first opportunity against this lot. 

That's got to be the priority for me.

The only way the dons will win is  if brown would do a Ronald Reagan and have a brain dead moment and put a couple of balls in his own net.

You're forgetting one critical detail.

Despite how bad they are, we're worse. It's not like we are playing well and they are playing shit. They're in better form than we've been recently and have a significantly better side than us.

edit- see my post below. Celtic only 3 points worse off than the Huns form wise in last 10 games.

Agree. People seem to be overplaying how bad Celtic have been.  They battered the Huns and should have won that game as well. 

Celtic have gained 23 points in the last 10 games, second only to Rangers who have 26. 

We've gained 9. 

Celtic 

P10 W7 D2 L1 F21 A4 Pts23

Aberdeen

P10 W2 D3 L5 F2 A7 Pts 9

Anyone who thinks we've "got a great chance" are fucking mental.

His age? Fact he played (poorly) v Sevco a few days before? Maybe his head wouldn’t be right (is it ever ?) playing v his next employer

etc etc

Celtic have just been knocked out of the only Competition left for them to win by there biggest rivals, they have players that want away and a lot of players who will now be looking towards the Euro's and not the 5 nothing games they have left to play. We need to see at least a different mentality from us win, lose or draw we cannot lie down

theyve only 4 meaningless games left. it could be a major down tools

If we play like the first 75 mins on Saturday, 110% are we getting skelped. 
 

If we play like the last 45 mins, we might make it competitive. 
 

I'd like to see him be brave and give Kamberi a free role, I'd give Ramsay a berth at RB and McKenzie at LB with Hayes pushed forward.

I predict he'll go for the Kamberi free role but given that I think we won't pick two youngster full backs.

Hayes moved forward for Mclennan a must after Connor's horror show on Saturday. McKenzie to slot back in. That's a no brainer. The only way Ramsay will come back in is if he drops one of Hoban or Considine and moves McRorie inside. Think he'll stick with Ferguson and Campbell in CM.
