Hopefully we can get a couple more,this Well side are as shite.as expected. Doing OK,a wee bit predictable though. I'd take Miovski off and try someone a bit more mobile.Get the ball down and moving quicker

Looking forward to it kinda,due to our unpredictability. Hoping Robbo's learned to make the changes quicker this week when necessary. A nice wee legal injury to Van Veen early on wouldn't go amiss. COYR

Mainer Driving Would rather Scales on the left of a 3 or as a wing back. Think being burdened with Stewart didn't help him.Decent footballer IMO. Would like to see Johnnys directness further forward alongside Duk and Clarkson,bring on Markandy after the third goes in Overdue a win v this lot ,3 - 1 Dons Duk,Hayes,Clarkson

A tough watch as said,ball up in the air too often,attacks broke down too easy. Think I would have taken Miovski off,Coulson to L/B and let the wee guys Duk,Hayes and later,Malarkady run at and around their defence a bit more. New defenders did OK nothing more,reserve judgement after a run of games. St Mirren were tidy though,could well have won without McRorie going off.

Yip St Mirren the better side. Can only get better second half. Duk needs to anticipate Miovskis knock ons better. Nobody offering Duk or Johnny an out ball on the wings

Crowd will do well to be above 10k.Pretty poor maybe understandable

Just heading in,fancy us to win now 3 - 1 Dons Miovski,Clarkson,Duk.

In Mainer Prediction. 0 - 0

Quick 4 goals were right back in it.COYR

The Young brothers are the only Scots left,as was Bon Scott.There's images of them with Scotland tops on pre Argentina '78,but can't recall any hun links

^^Thats the stuff Oot Stream at hame Rampant reds to run riot* 5 - 1 Dons Hayes x 3,Duncan x 2. *or possibly the fans otherwise

If there's nobody available or worth employing at the time then an interim manager is handy til there is. An opportunity for Robson to maybe surprise us meantime??

The romance of the Cup,back on the merrygoround we go

Just before my time. Wish I'd caught some of those 60s/early 70s City sides in the Scottish cup Early 60s City were leading Celtic 1 - 0 at home with 6mins to go. A defensive slip from an old relative of mine helped them back into it to win 2 - 1 Hence the uncomfort about tonights game....

Imagine having to play in +8oC,

Envisage an ugly 2 - 1 win,as long as we get thru,...and then source a good defender or 2

McInnes record wasnt that much greater than Goodwins was it? There was a fair amount of 'meh' at his appt.He already had the bones of a good side,and found(initially) players that fitted in well.Personally think he was quite lucky with initial recruitment, as we never quite managed to source players that fitted in as well as Flood and Robson.,despite finding a high level of players. Don't think McInnes was much more of a tactical genius than Goodwin either.His strengths were attracting a good standard of player,within a good club atmosphere,which along with modest tactical knowledge was more often than not,enough to keep us ticking along nicely. Goodwins had tougher circumstances. But,the recruitments arguably better.Were about 2/3 of the way there squad wise,but the areas that he didn't(maybe wasn't able to) address are why its gone to pot frequently this season. So should we turn a blind eye to it for now, give him more breathing space.or start with someone else again?? PS.I don't know

If we cant get a hud of Stuart Baxter ,I'd say keep going with Goodwin I was underwhelmed by his appt like a lot of people. Ideally he could have probably spent another year or 2 at St mirren to bolster his CV before coming to us.But,...youd have to imagine he's learning a huge amount in the time he has been here,to the extent where,if we assume he's growing as a manager(mistakes and all),he might be approaching a point where he's actually becoming a good manager? He comes across as intelligent enough to become one at least... The downside is,he's always had his haters,and after recent results the addition of newer ones, ....enough now that he may be close to tipping point. Needs a lot of luck the next few games

Must be due our once every 5 years or so win.Depends how many of our crocks are available.In the unlikely event we can source a replacement defender,and Duks available... Oot Watching a stream Hearts 1 - Dons 3 Clarkson,Duk x2

Which we didnt do. 1 - 1. Hoof up the arse if ever needed

Well,well,well.....Bojo 1 - 0

Not overly pessimistic about this one though I'll rate our chances around 35%.We'll cause them problems if we want to. COYR

Level 42 came out with some very good tunes,but produced a fair amount of tripe too. Good musicians though. Mark King was an excellent drummer as well as brilliant bassist. Curious to hear what you and Phil Gould produce (as a retired drummer)
