I think it'll be either a 4-4-2, or a 4-2-3-1. I'd like to see Olusanya through the middle and running his arse off for 60 minutes. Maybe play Armstrong on the left ahead of Yogane, and Smith on the right, with both helping out in a flat four off the ball. I don't think we've quite got the personnel for a 4-3-3, and Olusanya is fairly key in games like these, and isn't a wide player. We're really ropey at the back, so he might be tempted by a back three, but I don't think he should at home to the Huns (save that for the Tims away).

apology humbly accepted pal 🙂

Yeah, in these match threads I like to post a wee formation graphic of how I either want us to line-up, or think we'll line-up. I actually made one and thought the team looked that poor I deleted it. I think to play Robinson's style we need to be 4-2-3-1, however we don't have wingers. We could play our wider guys narrower - that suits a few players - but you need wing backs overlapping and the only time I've saw an Aberdeen player do that regularly this season was Lobban for Dunfermline against Raith Rovers. This 4-3-3 he hinted at playing seems to have been ditched. If you sign 13 players but feel you don't have the players to play your favoured formation, then something has gone wrong. I'm really keen to see what Robinson's plan this season actually is. If he actually has it all mapped out how the team will set up, then great. A game plan on Sunday is all I ask for.

Could have been certain (I read it twice), and no mention of first home game, just first game. Probably did though.

Decent game between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. City 1-3 up but both sides playing some nice football.

Agreed. Although we have to be realistic about how poor our midfield is. It's not just that we don't have a guy that knows what the fixture means, we don't have a guy that will get right in their faces either. To take advantage of this Hun side, at this particular moment, we need to be able to press them high and aggressively. Currently we've only got Olusanya that can do that, and he'll likely be playing wide. For all the chat about whether or not Phillips is good enough for the Dons, he really would have suited a game like Sunday. I don't know what the best setup is, but we're an average side at the moment and I'm not sure we'll have enough to beat their average side.

From reports I note that "The two clubs could also face a second home match without fans if there is a further incident of either side's supporters engaging in "unacceptable conduct" in a Scottish Cup fixture." Interesting to see what constitutes "unacceptable conduct" in such circumstances. For me this should include being upwind of Aberdeen supporters, being within 50 miles of Aberdeenshire personal hygiene ( lack of) weegie accents ...and basically all the religious , political bull*** that separates them from supporters of every other team in Scotland

Yep, so expect Devlin not to feature then.

It wisnae us, it was them 😂

If aliens landed on earth and saw somebody picking up dog poo, they would think that dogs ruled the world and we were their slaves.

So the SFA have finally grown some balls. It has only taken them about 150 years.

League Cup group stage, maybe.

That Lyons quote has the potential to be his Goodwin “the defence is the easy bit to sort out” moment. That lot are absolutely there for the taking this weekend. Fragile as fuck. Get properly wired in they’ll fold like a cheap suit. Apart from the usual “god knows what Dons team will turn up” concerns, I’m also a bit worried we just don’t have enough guys in this team who get what this game means & what we expect. Where’s the Shinnie, Anderson or Considine to set the expectations? Still, lets just go get fuckin stuck right into them eh lads…

Of the bags of shite or the dog? I'm actually just back from a quick walk there and took a photo of the hanging bags. (somebody has decided to untangle the tennis ball from one of them). Bags of shite: Dog:

This is our Golden Retriever Bonita. Was originally called Bonnie then my daughter made friends with a girl called Bonnie who I apparently upset by calling her "Bonnie the Human" when she visited our house. As far as the dog's concerned, she probably thinks her name is "NO, drop it!"

A much better punishment would have been their next home match in the Scottish Cup becomes an away match, with none of their fans allowed and £100k on top. But I agree it’s at least some kind of decent attempt to penalise them.

About fucking time action was taken against these fuckwits stuck in the dark ages. I for one applaud this action. Next step expulsion Third time liquidation
