Match Thread Hearts 1 - 1 Aberdeen

[dj_bollocks]

The more we keep dropping points the more I think we've been sussed. Palaversa to start, probably Sokler too...Not sure what that defence is going to looks like though

[Red Clive 1995]

We will lose this game. 

[milne_afc]

Need to score 4 to win. Defence is shit

[Tord31]

I think Jimmy should tell the lads to start the game good.

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Palaversa should start

[Ohjimmyjimmy]

Now, now - let’s not overreact folks.

 

We are where we are for a reason, just need to get back to what got us here.

 

No doubt Hearts are capable of hurting us, but we can do the same to them. Key is midfield imo, control the game - take the pressure off the defence and feed the machine and we’ll do okay.
 

 

 

[Helmet]

We’ll surprise everyone and win this one comfortably by two goals.

[Ohjimmyjimmy]

Couple of statement wins next 2 games to get things back on track.

Probably much the same as we have no cover anywhere defensively

The defence picks itself due to lack of numbers & injuries.

Milne Ruby Molloy MacKenzie.

Which is a poor looking defence.

Powder puff with Clarkson there IMO. 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

                 Mitov. 
Milne Ruby Molloy MacKenzie. 
           Palaversa Nilsen. 
     Morris McGrath Keskinen. 
                   Duk 

[Granite95]

Regardless of form games vs them always tends to favour the home side. 
 

Like to see some rotation in the defence and midfield. Think a front 3 of Keskinen, Duk and Morris should give us a good chance to hit them on the break 

[aberdeen1970]

433 for this one please. 

Time to try all 3 of Nilsen, Shinnie and Palaversa in midfield.  

[Hoppy]

We bounce back and win this one.

 

                            Mitov 

           Devlin Ruby Molloy McKenzie

                   Shinnie Palaversa

               Keskinen** McGrath Duk

                             Sokler

**Morris is so damn effective coming off the bench late in a game.

Hearts also don’t have Penrice playing so they will have an even bigger numpty for Morris to run at

I like Penrice. We should have signed him.

Penrice should be playing as normal. I think that suspension shout was in error.

Nah, he's suspended.

[Tord31]

I thought McGrath and Clarkson did well second half so can see them starting as LW and attacking mid.

Palaversa to come in for either Nilsen or Shinnie.

Toss up whether to start Keskinen or Morris. I'll vote Keskinen.

Striker is a toss up between Sokler and Duk.

Maybe Milne has to come in for Duk.

Normally the six bookings ban takes 10-14 days to come in

Duk did look good through the middle in the second half tonight.  He was unlucky not to score before McGrath did.

Bans now take effect within seven days as opposed to the previous 14-day period. The SFA’s Judicial Panel Protocol states: “The suspension applies in the same league competition as the cautionable offences were incurred and is effective from the seventh day following the date of the match when the sixth cautionable offence occurred.”

Just now, Hoppy said:

Probably because he's a striker being played out of position at left wing. 

I'd let Keskinen play left on his preferred side and give Duk a run through the middle.

2 games without a win and everyone has us sussed and we are going to lose 🤣

We could finish second and some folk would still moan about it

If we finish second I won’t moan ever again.

I’d start him at centre forward. 
Keskinen wide left   
Morris wide right.  
McGrath in behind Duk

We’ll need to score a few though as we’ll absolutely concede.

Should we bust a gut this game ?
