Match Thread Aberdeen 6 - 0 Dumbarton

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Dumbarton already out and have 1 point out of 9.

Would like to see Fletcher Boyd and Ambrose get starts to see how they get on for longer than 15 minutes.

[AndrewC]

I'm in for this een.

6:30am start, aiming for 1-1:30pm arrival, supermarket for butteries, mealy puddings and Scotch pies, club shop for some tat (possibly), watch a sterling display and a resounding win for The Famous (also possibly).  Awa' hame straight efter, McDonald's at Dunbar for ma tea and fill up with diesel, hame about half midnight.  Incredulous wife.

Perfect day all round.

Keen to see what Ambrose has got but I think its more likely Sokler or Miovski start

[Granite95]

Like to see Boyd, Ambrose, Milne get a start, should be strong enough to have some rotation in the squad to see off Dumbarton

Essentially not losing means we win the group (which was the bare minimum requirement)

Probably need to win to be seeded and avoid a tough draw however. Not concerned, should be an easy 3 points. 

Exactly. Seeding is the aim and with the 5 in Europe automatically seeded there are only 3 spots left for the best teams from the group stages (based on points and GD).

So we need to win all four games to be seeded in the last 16 draw. A win plus our goal difference will be enough.

Where are you starting from, around Yorkshire?

Dundee, Livvie and County also have easier games so we'll need to put in a couple of goals to be sure.

Correct bud, South Yorkshire to be precise, just south of Doncaster. 👍

We've got +4 on County and +3 on Livi currently, they are not over-turning that.

[muttonhumper]

County are at home to Stirling Albion.

Not beyond the realms of possibility that they could put six past them.

Especially in these circumstances when they have to bang them in to have a chance of being seeded.

Rossington?

[Proud Dandy]

If we can’t put a few past this mob to guarantee a seeded place, then we don’t deserve it to be fair 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

3-0 Dons 

McGrath, Clarkson & Ambrose

Hopefully the Famous win this match to ensure we finish the group stages with a 100% win record.

I’d also start one of McGarry or Jensen at left back as well tbh.

He needs to see the two of them and work out if either is worth keeping or at least which one should be moved off first.

17-0 the Dons.

 

Will go if the seagull situation is resolved

Hibs used two fake hawks and it seemed to work.

Definitely an opportunity to give a few fringe players a run out. I would think he might start with the intended team to play against St Johnstone to give them more time to gel, but ring the changes at half time or shortly after.

I'd like to see Ambrose, Boyd and Bavidge get some decent game time. Not bothered about Duncan or Besoujin as I don't think they have a future here any more. Milne is questionable, but would be good to give him a runout if he's the only real backup for Devlin and maybe good to see more of Jensen in the midfield role if he's seen as a serious option there.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Just noticed Falkirk to beat Stenny and Ayr to beat Buckie by three on Saturday and Goodwin's career path of avoiding success at all costs continues.

Under no circumstances should we be playing Richard Jensen in midfield.

That only highlights how light we are in there.

I’d start Ambrose though. 
Sokler has been pish the last two games.

Have Bojan on the bench - no point risking him getting clogged by a nomark.

Up the Dons.

PA32 Masterclass incoming 

[Buddiedog]

If Mio is off to the Spanish club ,  I would love to see him get a double hat trick before he leaves , preferably against the Huns or Tim’s.

I agree - my point however is that if Thelin is thinking about using him in that role in "proper" games it would be better or him to play some minutes in that position in this game.
