Kincardine_Mearns_Red Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Need to put this lot away at home now. Link to comment
thurso Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Enjoyed the game on a whole but we kinda made it harder than we should of. Really need to push the boat out and get a striker in, to finish the game with hedges and McLennan up front doesn’t look good for us Link to comment
Getdoonatwing Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 What was Gurr booked for? Talking back to ref?? Couldn't follow it but seemed nothing much Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hopefully Gallagher now starts every game, and we bring in a younger CH to partner him. Central defence is the root cause why this tie isn't already put to bed. Also think that in future away Euro ties, JET should start on the bench. Their defenders realised early on if they ran out of defence with the ball that he wouldn't/couldn't track their runs. Ojo nowhere near as bad as Thurso makes out but I still think that McGeouch offers us more all round. An away win is always good but it just feels that it should have been so much more convincing Link to comment

Redmist1903 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 We are miles fitter than we have been the last few seasons, so much running from the team. Also much better to be pressing the opponent 30 yards from their goal rather to be defending our box with 11 men behind the ball when trying to hold on for a result. Ojo's Ojo but you canna fault the boy for effort, he covered every blade of grass the second half. McGeouch was decent, Brown was really good. Link to comment
Sheepo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good performance just a bit disappointing we couldn't score a few more and make the home leg a formality, Glass promised he wouldn't go there and defend and he was good for his word. Half time changes were very effective. I thought Brown, the young full backs and Ramirez were the top performers Link to comment

Simosmashed my knee Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Delighted with result tonight, would have taken that before kick off. We are still a few players short though, we defo need another striker, a pacey CH and Jamie McGrath to replace OJO in midfield. Link to comment
DelMonte Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Scoring goals at least. Some difference from the shite under McInnes last season. 1 1 Link to comment

Before kick off aye, but after going 2 up it’s a shocker.Still we’re ahead in the tie and we will create chances against them at home. Hopefully the last we see of McRorie at centre half.Committed the cardinal sin of letting the ball bounce, then compounded it by being outmuscled on the bye line. Link to comment

If we get through we get (I think) another €300,000. So maybe waiting for that? If Pittodrie’s full next week you can double that amount. Link to comment

I just can’t see what he does in a game that some others do Link to comment
RedRichard Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Is it not obvious that McGeouch should be coming in for Ojo, allowing Ferguson to play more advanced?? Credit to McLennan tonight, great assist. I'm glad we've held onto him in spite of his imperfections. Link to comment

afc_blockhead Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good performance in so many ways tonight. Gallacher being on and McGeouch controlling the midfield with Brown made us look more solid second half defensively. Should have more than enough to finish them off next week. Link to comment

torry_battery_ram Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 If you had said to me before kick off we would score 3 I would have said "Excellent, a convincing win". Disappointing defensively 1st half but Gallagher and McGeouch really improved us at the back in the 2nd half. Ramirez is going to be a real fans favourite. Think we will go through but need to strengthen the squad before facing AEL or Qarabag. 1 Link to comment

This Gallagher thing is bizarre. Particularly given we've looked fairly shit in central defence. FFS. Didn't think it would be that soon. 3 hours ago, Geoff_Tipps said: Ah, so you'd be one of those managers that picks a team on reputation rather than form. 2 hours ago, Geoff_Tipps said: I think they settled and looked fine in the 2nd half against Utd. I am not saying Mcrorie and Considine are my preferred pairing but I am ok with Glass sticking with them off the back of a clean sheet. You made a right cunt of that one GT. McRorie and Considine horrific for their two goals absolutely avoidable shit. Though you half redeemed yourself by acknowledging the issue at half time. Then fucked up again by being "impressed by Ojo" or something similar. ? 2 hours ago, YorkDon said: MCrorie shouldna be a first pick there, but until he majorly fucks up he stays.Gallagher has to wait for his opportunity. Take it that's Gallagher in from the start now then by your thinking? 29 minutes ago, Millertime said: Ps that header from Ojo It's a real blot on glass copybook playing this bloody idiot I couldn't care less if he is tactically brilliant if he is bloody awful on the ball It really is. He runs fast and can tidy up in defensive areas and midfield. But FFS, he can't cross, can't play a through ball, can't shoot, can't link in the final 3rd. I'd prefer we had someone who can do all, or at least some, of the above in the team. Until then, we are losing possession every time he has the ball in advanced positions. That's not bias or "hate" for the boy, that is what has happened in every game so far this season. Link to comment

Four games played, 10 for 5 against. Folk happy and want to come and watch The Dons. Nothing like McInnesball. Happy days. Good game tonight. Lewis - Okay Ramsay - Two assists, but caught out of position a lot (with zero cover from Ojo and McRorie) Mackenzie - Good shift. Nothing spectacular, but a decent game. Considine - Decent, tried to cover the right hand failings but couldn’t. McRorie - Is just not a centre half. Positional sense very poor. Hayes - Not that bad, not sure why he got hooked. Ferguson - Not that bad, not sure why he got hooked. Ojo - Runs about a lot, offers nothing defensive or in attack. Baffling. Brown - Strolled it. Some poor passes, but in general ran the midfield. JET - No effort today. Poor big man, poor. Ramirez - ❤️ McGeough - Very good, hardly lost possession. McLennan - Good assist for the 3rd within minutes of coming on. “There’s a player in there”. Gallagher - Settled the defence big time. Very good. Gurr/Jenks - Not enough time to judge. Link to comment
