Post VAR check, DUK goal stands. Instant impact.

Done

Oh dear, 3 at the back and what happens.

Why are we as a back 3 against motherwell? I thought we'd moved on from this pish.

Match day! Would like to see a decent performance and progression into the next round please. Thats all I ask

From the club: Help us fill Pittodrie with colour as we welcome Neil Warnock this Saturday for the first time for our match with Bonnyrigg Rose.

If you are available to assist in the set up please send your name and Dons ID to marketing@afc.co.uk. Time: Saturday, 10am-11.30am Place: Sir Alex Ferguson Statue outside RDS

Bump. hope sales improve a wee bit. Weren’t going well a week ago. Unsurprisingly

Also, we’re officially allowed to call them huns now no?

I wondered if he thought he was getting a move on the back of last season and has taken a hump as well as all the pies. He was certainly fat and I think Rico’s last sentence pretty much nails it. Bojan is and always will be, the better player. Had hoped he’d find the spark again but neither he nor Robson seemed to be able to find it.

Not expecting much here. They seem to be playing well and given it's down there, well, the usual refereeing performance will exist. We shouldn't have anything to fear and I'd hope the players (and interim coach) should take a lot of heart from the tims game. Dug in and got something from a game that 24 hours prior, we would have written off completely. We'll need a fair amount of luck, which probably won't be afforded to us, but set up correctly, and who knows. Our record down there for late is a bit all over the shop. We last got a positive result in September last year, so not that long ago and gave us the great entertainment of Wright being sent off. I'd hope we set up the same as yesterday, no reason why not as they'll be looking to have plenty of possession and pressure. Out Bed Work Work 2-1 them, Barron

Have got rid of RedTV so had to make do with the highlights online. Seems like we played well, and shame Miovski was marginally offside for that second effort. Amazing what happens when you play these players in their positions and with the right personnel. Not overly looking forward to Tuesday, but the players should take a lot of heart from that performance. And what a finish by the way.

Nope, not looking forward to this one at all.

Feels like I could start this thread the same as the previous. The only positive being we’re at home, although we’re now also the managerial team down which should be a positive too. Regardless, I’m not looking forward to this one. Hilariously they’ve complained about a terrible window, but not sure they can complain compared to ours. We’ve really shot ourselves in the foot and with injuries, we’re not even more stretched. Be intrigued to see if we still end up with duk today, it’s the sort of game we need him to turn up in but it’s not something he’s really done this season. will be interesting to see what we do line up wise, there’s not really that many options available to us. out bed bed reno works around the house

It's going to be a turgid watch.

It’s just funny because that’s not what he set up at CCM. Far from it, so I was surprised to read from a hibbie mate that he appears wedded to it. I did actually have a thought the other day whether we should bring glass back but with the right back room staff this time. But maybe that’s because being a dons fan is fucking miserable at the moment.

I see there's chat from ABZ that the FMB were surprised the fans weren't happy with how the season had been thus far. What world are they living in? Failed in Europe, didn't show up for the LC, shite in the league and SC? remains to be seen.

Wasn't he pish at PNE and Norwich (as well as Stoke)?

Positive thing is we’re playing at home, negative being Robson is still our manager. Fail to win this and I’d imagine it’s going to get very nasty. I’ve seen there’s talk of a protest before hand? Hopefully wh smiths has plenty of post-it’s available. anyway, we genuinely need a result here, given the next two games are against the cheeks (home and away). They’re also above us in the table so if we have any desires of making the top 6 (yuck), then this is exactly the sort of game we should be getting results at. Rubi is out for a while, but I’d hope we stick to the back 4 for this one. Doc has them generally playing pretty well, so I don’t think he’ll struggle to outthink Robson. A 4-1 demolition of livi will have given them a lot of confidence. Will be interesting to see what if anything changes for this. He needs to stop subbing Barron off, that’s for sure. out bed work work 1-1, miovski

Likewise Norwich with Neil. Most fans I suspect are only remembering his time in Scotland. He’s pish. We made the wrong call when there were a decent number of managers available and here we are, with an even shiter pool to look at. It’s going to be really interesting (hopefully for the right reasons), who we go for. Surely to fuck he doesn’t last the season.

We’re winning fuck all. Not with this clown in charge. You say the sooner we get rid the better, but that won’t happen until the end of the season at best I reckon. Maybe Bonnyrigg will do us a favour…

Lining himself up for the national job?

Who is this Campbell some folk seem to be mentioning online? Have I missed something? Seriously concerning if we’re not looking to strengthen this window. Or maybe do the board not trust him?

Don’t disagree with any of that. I think your last sentence rings true with my point about shooting ourselves in the foot. We won’t perform because we’re hindered by a lunatic.

Not looking forward to this at all. The record for both teams in the away fixture is pretty grim reading, but given our incompetent manager and consistently shooting ourselves in the foot, it can only be damage limitation. The draw with st Johnstone did nothing for us. Yes we gained a place but in the grand scheme of things, no football was played, we don’t have a style of play, and we don’t have a managed that knows how to change things up positively. can see him trying for a 5 at the back for this one, lord know 5 in the middle didn’t work as we’ve no wingers, so he’ll use that as an excuse to “shore” things up at the back. Roos seems to have completely lost the plot this season too. out bed bed bed 3-0 hearts, no dons scorer.
