I wonder what our plan is if either McCrorie or Considine can’t play on Thursday.

The madness of offering Devlin a contract underlined?

He’ll need to perfect the Devlin limp too. 

Hacken will have no idea what Devlin looks like.  Most of us have probably only a vague recollection.

Guys is there a way to block certain posters on this forum so you don't need to keep scrolling past the constant irrelevant tittle tattle? Am sure you don't need to ask who I want to block! ?

Goals get scored against the run of play all the time. 

I didn’t get that feeling when Celtic banged 9 in against us under McGhee

He’s like the invisible man….wrapped in bandages when you catch sight of him.

Welcome to the ever growing list of blockers ?

@Millertime for a 5,665 crowd there will be no problem with parking spaces and especially so if arriving before 7. you could probably even get closer than the beach. Just stick pittodrie in the sat nav, arrive and then look for a space.

[Bamber]

wonder if its worth think where you are entering the ground ?   Main stand is red zone for covid and so no entry - Will Pittodrie street also be red zone? would make sense - so for Merkland entry from the Beach you will have to head for the Sport village and then cut across the back streets

Max of 5664 cars - Im Walking - Merkland road entry so heading to King street and down Merkland road instead of my usual route over the broad hill

Suspended: Gallagher

Injured: Devlin (presuming he signs before Wednesday)

Lewis

Gurr McCrorie Considine Hayes

Brown Ojo

Hedges Ferguson JET

Ramirez

subs: Woods, Ritchie, Ramsay, Mackenzie, Ngwenya, McGeouch, Campbell, McLennan, Kennedy, McGinn, Jenks, Virtanen

prediction: 2-0 JET x 2 (1 pen)

crowd: 5,200

Fucking hell we look shite this season

Look at that back 4. Just look at it

[The Gee Man]

Agree the back 4 is very poor on paper! Gurr is very much an unknown and with Hayes being more forward thinking it puts huge pressure on the centre 2! We need the 2 defensive mids to be on top top form. 

[King Street Loon]

@Millertime I always find Froghall a good option for parking. That's where I'm going to try despite my entry being from the Park Road entrance of the SS.

[Tommy]

Anyone picking up tickets at ticket office must do so by 5pm Thursday.

Hayes is pretty steady and none of us know what Gurr will be like. 

We all know Gallagher will be solid. Could be a testing night Thursday right enough. 

[StandFree1982]

Do we have still have time to get someone in on loan for Thursday? Even if it's to sit on the bench incase we get an injury.

We surely must have a semi competent CB in the youth setup? 

[Bamber]

Would say yes we do - would also say its fairly key so would hope they start today so we will hear soon if we are loaning someone going two is a real worry Mackenzine looks like he has the build could Gurr fill in? going with no spare and I assume that the squad is locked in for both legs is risky .If we get a centre defender sent off I assume we cant get a replacement mid games which makes it even more risky

Would not be surprised to hear announcement of signing this morn

 

[StandFree1982]

I'd be absolutely fucking raging if we lost this round in Europe because we're not prepared.  I would accept us getting beat because we were not good enough, or that the other side was simply "good". But there is absolutely NO excuse for us to be scrambling around for players the week of the competition.

Having two attack-minded full backs is the modern way, pushed up the pitch. 

That might explain why Ojo was in alongside Brown the other day, to help protect the back two… although based on what we’ve seen of Ojo, it still seems a strange one. 

[Tord31]

Transfer deadline for Thursday is 11pm on Wednesday night I think....

Some suggestions that Gallagher may not be suspended? Either the club and Uefa have forgotten about it or he's actually not suspended at all.

[Tord31]

Well this match is certainly going to go to general sale now.

Yeah the record seem to suggest he's gonna play.

They have been wrong before though

Uefa dont have him on the suspension list and by the Dons putting him up to the media on Friday I would say its a fair guess that the club dont think he's suspended either.

Strange he’s not featured pre season then?!

He himself was talking about everyone is playing and training hard to get into the side for Thursday. No suggestion anywhere to say that he's suspended.

I really hope Aberdeen have looked into it though. Imagine we beat them and ended up getting booted out because we didn't bother to check something as trivial as the suspension list

[Eastcoastdon]

Is it maybe because that was the europa league last year he was sent off in and it’s now a different competition (even though I would think it would carry on regardless)

Mess up with the queuing system and limiting blocks are likely the issues here.

Hope the government / local council will move shortly to the season ticket holders being able to sit in their season ticket seats.
