Elgindon

Muddy Waters - Hoochie Coochie man

72 points but still finish second....

Lets assume we dont get anyone else in til January.How do we get more out of what weve got.... Rooney - Is it a loss of form/confidence with him,or,are we playing a different way that doesnt suit him,eg was it a 4-4-2(am no tactics expert) we were playing in DMs early days.Great positioning and anticipation in this clip,surely a way we can get that back somehow? Stockley - Am no fan,but he wasnt that bad with ball at feet bringing others into play when he first cam here.Unfortunately he seems to become someone the others lump the ball up to(whether instinctively, or told to)but its grim to watch,and a header on target every 4 games is a poor return for that strategy.Think if we could try and involve him more in the game in other ways,it might brighten up his ideas a bit? Maynard - Not sure yet about this guy.A goal might set him off.Just lacking a bit of aggresion to his play so far. Any other ideas?

Cheers.If you see a boy hitchin fae ABZ to the ground later on.....

Gary player? ....ok it was Ryan christie last time, Kari Arnason?

Back in the day,used to get the train,lifts fae the sisters boyfriends,travel with the Elgin supporters bus,inverness bus to away games,hitch hiked on many occasions.Nowadays a simple drive or train fae Portlethen

Mind someone on Abmad with a similar name.Welcome aboard...

Aye Maynard just didnt seem to be in the right positions at times,and him and others anticipation/movement wasnt great.Hopefully just a of lack of understandings between players and midweek exertions at this stage...

Ach well,I'll take that.A bit of a mixed performance,flashes of good,with untidy periods,we never quite got into a good rythym.Wright and Christie were good,A oC,and Shay also,though Arnason was a bit shaky. We were just a shade off the pace generally,maybe due to midweek,but good to get off to a win against a stuffy team. Surprised to hear there was 15'000 there,looked more like 12 or 13 to me.Good show if correct.

Wouldnt drop him,maybe play him parts of games til he's up to speed.If theyre looking at his performance on Thursday,dont think anyone came out of that too well.He might be worth a shout up front if the strikers keep firing duds. ..anyway welcome aboard Dons1Huns0....

Fine weather up the hills near Torphins this morning,looks like a fine day for most of the fitba. DM said he'd like to freshen things up a bit today if I remember.Stockley suspended?(wishful thinking?),Would like Maynard to get a bit of a run,and a good game for Wright and Arnason. Lets get off to a flier. COYR

Haha,I do like a moan at the fitba.Am over the far end beside the Merkland.In the SS the morn tho,as someone booked my seat before I bought the ST. If i see an empty seat in future,I'll assume youre on one of your boycotts.Wonder which pillar will be blocking my view.Noticed most of the main stand is sold out(0 seats available) along with most of the SS,lower RDS.Hopefully a decent crowd the morn...

Ach well,got thru eventually and for a change of scene chose an ST in the main stand with fellow curmudgeons In or oot - In Furryboots - SS X( complimentary as seat in mainer taken the morn) Pre/Post - Driving Prediction - 3 - 0 Dons,Maynard hat trick

Nah.thats the sort of thing ra Shewtic would stoop to. Did it affect our performance? Did the manager say it did? We werena good enough,move on.

Simple minds - Always thought Kerr and co thought their music was more important than it actually was...

looking for the six game ticket option online but cant seem to find it.Has anyone got this option?, hoping theirs a printoffable version in time for tomorrows game. Edit - ticket office open later..

Aye,always found Brian Johnsons strained voice a hard listen. ACDC in their Bon Scott prime -

Frustrating night,McInnes got it wrong this time.Cant overdwell on it,since hes got it right more often than not in Europe.But you would hope now that he can see that Stockley just doesnt fit in with the way our personnel suit playing(... a generous way of saying he's shite) Too early to judge this side though re fitness/gelling,but we saw glimpses last week(first half pre Stockley ) of what we might have to look forward to.

Bit of trouble in the stadium.Riot police in now

Well,didnt expect Rijecki or Siroki away performances.Keep the faith,COYR

Aye, ...but theres still goals in that side despite Shockley,who might also fluke a good game Come on Dons. Lewis Logan OConnor Reynolds Considine Shinnie MacLean GMS Stewart Christie Stockley Subs - Rogers,Harvie,Arnason,Tansey,Storey,Wright ,Maynard,

A bit if sight seeing before the game,lol. https://twitter.com/RobAberdein/status/893123500172611584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.afc-chat.co.uk%2Fforums%2Findex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D41113%26page%3D8 Wish I was there,Ah well COYR

They do.

Cul Beag,Assynt 769m Any hill in this or the Torridon area gives great rewards if the weather is good.Only problem is some of them have a fairly long walk in.to avoid this most folk opt for Stac pollaidh,which is at the roadside.Down side to Stac,is that just before the summit,there is a tricky,exposed section which stops a lot of people carrying on to the summit,thereby blocking views out West Cul beag is a fine alternative,situated just before Stac pollaidh on the road round to Achiltibuie,and as good a viewpoint.The tourist route up is from the roadside,following a path(shown on OS map) along the base of the western side of Cul Beag,before a seperate path turns off and starts a very steep ascent to the summit. I avoided this by parking at the East end of Loch Lurgainn,and following a more gentle ascent to the summit http://IMG_1702 by [/url], on Flickr Bit rough at the start,but dry.Kept to the Loch Lurgainn side all the way up IMG_1701 by , on Flickr IMG_1705 by , on Flickr Turned rightish angles to get to the summit IMG_1710 by , on Flickr Timed it to watch a fine sunset go down beyond Stac Pollaidh and the Hebrides beyond.Took 1.5 hours up,and an hour down just before dark.Great hill Stac Pollaidh about to erupt on the way down IMG_1800 by , on Flickr

I would go with similar to Ricos team.Do we play Stockley or Maynard because were 'supposed' to play a recognised striker?.I thought both were like a square peg in a round hole last week.If McInnes has seen a major improvement in Maynard since last week,then play him,otherwise he's too big a risk. And a combo of Maclean,Christie,GMS and Stewart in the mid/forward areas i think would create more opportunities by not having the hopeful lob to Stockley option.Intelligent,quick thinking guys...
