Agree with Willie, need a right mid who can defend. Goal has deflated us a bit, we weren’t bad until then. Cant lose a second before half time, bit ropey.
-
Unfortunate to be one down but defense not tight enough, understandably given it’s a very new back 4pluskeeper.
-
Geiger and McIntyre look decent, afeez starting to come into the game.
-
Decent enough start I would say. Do love that North sea kit
-
First impressions, look decent in central defense, little from afeez, Geiger likes to get on the ball. Promising?
-
Tom McIntyre. Signed the other week in a short term deal.
-
Interesting to see if our central defenders win headers!
-
Agreed. I just wonder if doing it from the start might mean us missing out on the chance to bring him on and do it later when others are knackered. The classic Morris issue!
-
Interesting that palaversa is on the bench over Armstrong…

I read Dons news/gossip every day and I've never heard o this McIntyre - fazzat? -
Rarely seen him play and you may well be right, but asking a guy to stay wide, kick it past a defender on the outside and run, isn’t complicated. Morris figured it out and he appeared to be a very low intellect player. I know I’m over simplifying, but at least it’s an option to explore.
-
Killie 1-0 up on Timmy.
-
Going to be interesting. Feels like anything could happen.
- Today

He wasn't particularly good at that with St Mirren, his best work was balls over the top and harassing defenders, so hopefully we've spent two weeks training him to cut the ball back. The biggest problem will be his lack of defensive abilities. Not convinced he has the temperament to track his man.
-
Derek McInnes says Hearts are "starting to annoy people". "Starting to"? They've been annoying me for years.
-
I’m certainly good with olusanya at right mid. Morris was mediocre but teach him to knock it on the outside and run and he was effective. Very intrigued, no clue what to expect today!
-
Maybe the players will climb a mountain for him.

Jaysus, that's an odd looking line up. Let's see what happens..... -
Ha! Least of my worries is the number. Can they all play?? keeper central defenders and center mids are the key to any team. If our center mids are legit them I think we’re good, time will tell!
-
Squad number 99 can get tae. Goalkeepers should wear 1, 23 or 30.
-
Personally I think the result will hinge on how well the two new midfielders settle 2bh

I have no idea how that’s going to shape up. I had to dial up AFC Heritage’s website to identify fa half the feckers are. I think the last time I was this uncertain was when we played Celtic in January 66, and Turnbull played Ally Shewan at right back, and John McCormick (centre half) at left back, with some new-fangled midfield formation that I failed to understand. We beat the green mob 3-1 though! I am very old. https://www.afcheritage.org/matches/match-report?id=2723

I suppose why not just say fuck it. Mitov has been poor, we had no right mid, center mids poor etc, just rip it up and start again. def an element of season starts here. Just a mini season to experiment until the new gaffer starts.
-
Oops. Chubby fingers. 4-2-3-1.

Nisbet Captain. Only Nisbet, Jensen and Topi in that line up really known to me. Has a touch of an early pre season game, where you are seeing players for the first time. Heres hoping these unknowns do the business, as our known players certainly weren't. Palaversa on the bench too. COYR
