Match Thread Aberdeen 2 - 0 Kilmarnock

[RedRichard]

every game a cup final now and other such cliches. 

McCrorie to midfield you would think. Or Barron. If McCrorie, then a reprieve for Richardson, or a default to Kennedy at RB?

Think it’ll be the latter;

                        Roos 

       Pollock MacDonald Scales   
                     Clarkson 
Kennedy McCrorie Ramadani Hayes.  
                 Miovski. Duk 

 

[old sheep]

Four wins on the trot without Kennedy on the pitch. Slows the game down too much for the quick ‘transition’ that Robson wants.                                            

                                      Roos

      McCrorie    McDonald     Pollock    Scales

                                 Clarkson

                    Ramadani         Hayes

     Duncan              Miovski              Duk

 

[Willo flood]

 

                             Lewis

     Logan    Taylor     O’connor     Considine

                               Ball

             Forester             Gleeson

 Stewart            Cosgrove           Mclennan

[Bournemouth Gee]

@Willo flood I think consi is suspended. Otherwise, excellent

Robson doesnt seem to want to change a winning team so presume he'll keep the changes to a minimum whatever he does.

Do you blame him? 

There's absolutely nobody on the bench that's earned a start and our quality drops off pretty quickly after maybe 2 or 3 of them. 

[starryfish]

Duncan in for Shinnie and we go again 

[Granite95]

I'd assume Barron in for Shinnie and the same team that started yesterday, hopefully another win to keep our chase for 3rd on

Positionally sticking Barron in as direct replacement for Shinnie seems to make more sense.

In terms of attitude and ability though, I'd probably prefer a slight reshuffle and have the baker come in for him as proposed by the chocolate starfish.

I wonder if the myslovic will play as he’s been getting a run out lately.

He was pish vs St Johnstone, probably not helped by him being stuck on the wing. 
 

Would rather McCrorie or Barron in midfield as think Myslovic and Clarkson together would be too light-weight imo

Yeah, there's something else to consider.

Though I'm nae exactly sure where we are utilising him. Hard to tell from his cameo performances thus far.

As far as I recall, he came on board as an attacking midfielder, no 10 type. Canna correctly mind.

Holding midfielder as a youth player but moved to no10 when he broke into his club’s first team. 

[Tord31]

going by the fact Robson seems to make the minimal changes possible i'd not be surprised by

Hayes for Shinnie

Coulson for Hayes

 

He's given Coulson starts previously as opposed to Myslovic, Barron, Kennedy and Richardson

[muttonhumper]

^^^ seems feasible.

[Andy_123]

McCrorie to replace Shinnie in midfield. Only guy in the team who will charge about like Shinnie does.

RB who knows. Neither Kennedy or Richardson are appealing options.

Think we’ll scrape a win here 1-0

[Ten Caat]

Shinnie's reckless, totally unnecessary challenge leaves us with a problem how to adequately replace him.

For now, I'm in the "bring in Coulson at the back and push Hayes forward" camp but I reserve the right to change my mind on this later in the week.

Obviously a win is a necessity and I think we'll get it..........3-1 with a late goal for us making the scoreline look a bit more comfortable than it actually was.

[JojoJuan]

If we can't beat Kilmarnock at home we don't deserve 3rd. 

Even without Shinnie, we are at home, we do have higher quality players (even if sometimes they don't show it) and we are on a decent run. 

Not the prettiest home win of the season, but a solid 2-0

A good chance for Barron to redeem himself. If he can produce what he did in the game Robson was in charge v St Johnstone when Barron made his starting debut that would do for me.

[bruceg1978]

Barron wasn't even in the squad on Saturday. Is he injured again?

[TheRedPrawcess]

We've already skudded Killie at home this season without Shinnie. 

Killie score in most games but haven't scored 2 in the same game away from home this year.

Our home form with their away form (worse than ours) should see a routine win.

[zeroisgod76]

4-0 to the dons.... Duk and Miovski with 2 apiece.... 5 wins on the bounce... 3rd place if Hearts recent shit form continues.

[sheepcrooky]

McRorie to midfield. Richardson to RB. I still think Richardson has something to offer (maybe I’m delusional). 

[Dons79]

 

 

killie have scored 6 away goals all season and conceded 32 in 15 away games, why are we concerned?, if we cannot beat them then there’s no point taking the field ever!.

what I will say from being down here is that the young boy in the centre mid reminds me of a very young ferguson and should be getting looked at, Watson looks a very good technical player with lots of qualities, keep him and Armstrong quiet(don’t let Armstrong cross as he can be superb) and the games ours.

Was playing with the Scotland 21s last week so unlikely to be injured.

Probably a case of why play someone who doesn’t want to be here.

[starryfish]

Was a bit of an unusual line up last time at home to Kilmarnock with starts for Kennedy and Watkins, Kennedy comparing himself to Iniesta afterwards I’m sure

Richardson Stewart Coulson Kennedy Watkins all started that day and Morris came on as a sub...strange..

[fine-n-dandy]

So both captains suspended for this game 🤔

I think we will sneak another win here but I think the game v County is going to be a real struggle & a big test for Robson

No Clarkson that day either due to suspension. Should be fine
