Match Thread (Scottish Cup) Aberdeen 3 - 0 Edinburgh City

[fine-n-dandy]

Edinburgh City are no mugs but hopefully a chance to see Connor Baron in this at some point. Maybe also the new signing if permit approved/quarantine done

[Redtaz2]

Have you forgotten already the debacle against raith

Lol not at all but we are talking league Two side here now. 
If we can’t give new signings & youth players some mins against them then they shouldn’t be in first team squad at all

 

Connor has more experience playing against this side than anyone ?

[sooth_stander]

Glass won’t be fucking about with his lineup. More or less the same team as last night although hopefully McKenzie can come back in, for Ojo.

Not a chance, Ojo is to Glass what Anthony O'Connor was to DMC.

No matter how shite he performs, no matter how many people can see he is shite, Ojo will be shoehorned into the team.

[King Street Loon]

Play as strong a team as possible. Minimal changes to starting XI only. Get a few goals up then give some players a run out.

We cannot afford to fuck about in this competition like we did the League Cup.

[starryfish]

We've struggled at home to Stenhousemuir and Dumbarton in recent years in this cup, arguably with better teams.

[jamiesd]

Hopefully we can get some goals in this one.  I think he will have learned after the Raith game and not underestimate them.

[aberdeen1970]

We shouldn't be resting anyone. 

We're not that good that we can afford to.

And it's the only thing left that we have a realistic chance of winning so why fuck about? 

Are you allowed 5 subs in the cup?  If so plenty of scope for changes during the game if the team does the business. 

[Tord31]

With the three midweek games in a row we will need to shuffle slightly but we are fairly shite anyway so 2-3 changes hardly makes us any worse.

It looks like Ramsay could take a rest so slot Ojo back in there and stick Hayes, JET or McLennan on for Ojo.

If it's Hayes then Mackenzie or Campbell can get a shotty at left back.

I'd leave Jenks in although he would be an obvious one to rotate.

McGeouch instead of Brown for the first 45 would reluctantly be sensible.

Definitely.

Plenty of time to make changes if the game is put to bed early on.

[don corleone]

It will be a comfortable win. I have no concerns whatsoever. 

[Granite95]

Probably field a near un-changed line-up from yestreday.

Hopefully get a few goals up and able to rest the likes of Brown, Ramirez etc

[Bournemouth Gee]

Connor Barron!

[Ten Caat]

2 changes for me, JET in for Jenks and McGeouch in for Brown

Get Barron on at HT (unless things are going horrifically badly) and once the game is safe rest Ramirez 

[Betty Swallicks]

Strong starting 11, put it to bed by ht, make changes.

Are 9 subs and 5 changes allowed in The Scottish Cup?

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Anyone in for Ojo.

[1903Fitba]

Ruth got recalled didn’t he? Wouldn’t mind seeing him have a run out when we’re 2/3-0 up 

[ShinnieFGS]

Don't think Glass will make the same mistake he did at Raith but I'd imagine JET, McGeouch, Gallagher and Campbell will all start

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Notwithstanding I dont like changing a team for the sake of it, if JET isnt starting this  type of game one wonders when exactly he will play.

[RedRichard]

Folks sayin McGeouch in for Brown, but would stick McGeouch in for Ojo, and push Fergie further forward. Actually think that line up would have beaten der hun. 

[Guest]

Ojo has been played out of position all season. 
 

Not his fault. 
 

Mintal what's being said about him. 
 

Blame Glass/Dave if we don't find an adequate signing this window to play on the left, and a sub RB. 

[Andy_123]

Aye he’s played full back, wing back, centre mid and left mid for us so far? That’s never going to help someone of his limited ability.

We should be able to dispose of a league 2 side while giving some of our usual subs a run out. McGeouch, McLennan, JET, Gallagher etc. 

The type of game we should have been able to rest Ramirez for, but we don’t have any other forwards…

Not taking that bet

PLayed for Falkirk when they lost to Raith so cup-tied

[Alex Ferguson]

Edinburgh City have ex Hibs and hearts players with points to prove and loanees from those clubs, and a good set up, can see them causing us a few troubles.

I wonder does anyone remember Gary Naysmith playing for us at all?

He’s played numerous positions and been shite in them all

Where's his position?

He's a holding midfielder. 
 

Not saying he's good enough there but I think it's rough giving a guy pelter who's working at his maximum in awkward positions.

I think he's a willing runner. Like a decoy. 
 

But yeah, I'd get someone in for that left side.

He's not. That's what McInnes tried to convert him into.
