We also can’t afford to let him go. He is our only creative source

I know we're going to have to be patient, but not beating one of the poorest sides in the league at home isn't acceptable. Wasn't acceptable under McInnes and it won't be acceptable now. I hear we played one up front, at home, against them? Again. Sort it out Glass. Show that you have some sort of game plan / philosophy. Unbelievably heavily reliant on Hedges coming back to provide any creativity whatsoever. It's a huge risk.

Is the right answer. The huns are the virus.

Very much this. His best days are past him and would appear to have very little self control. We don’t need that type of bampot in our team. all these transfers, just a shame we weren’t able to execute them before being pumped out of Europe. I know there’s a bigger picture, but currently I’m not seeing what our identity is.

Had this drafted, thought I’d done it last night ? county have had a pretty tough start to the league so hopefully we’ll continue the pain for them. I’m guessing Watkins will be making his first appearance in red (guessing Cardiff dropped that shite) . We’re down to the bare bones defensively, will Longstaff be cleared to play if signed? anyway, tough prediction this one, but I’d hope we’d be good enough to beat them. out bed bed bed 1-0 dons, ramirez

This was the example I remember, Jeff Astle: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/nov/02/football-and-dementia-players-who-died-with-or-are-living-with-the-disease-england-1966

Okay with this signing. I don't think he's what's going to give us what we need (a goalscorer) but he'll be good back up to JET I think. Maybe a bit pacier but not necessarily as good technically. Also rumours from Scott Burns that we're Matty Longstaff, which would be a very interesting signing (guessing Ferguson replacement)

Huge opportunity missed tonight, very frustrating. I turned off after the third goal so didn't witness our token penalty. From what I saw, we were shite. A bit of urgency in the second but no real quality and JET looked completely isolated who was trying to do some things but got crowded out. I think it was Slim said, I don't know what our game plan was, nor the style of play we're trying to achieve. Just doesn't seem to be any real cohesion. I said I think we're going to be erratic this season, and tonight was very much the negative side of that.

Not long turned it on, but we are awful. Has it been like this the whole game? I remember seeing some fud on Twitter saying they’re a poor st. Mirren ?

Also, our 150th European game. 15k tickets sold so far, hopefully a shift a few more than that.

Awful news and also means we need to sign an experienced CB, ASAP.

Absolutely. As long as we're not held over the barrel if he does do well, happy days. Definitely better to have the option of buying rather than developing someone else's talent.

Personally, I've forgotten what it's like to see us qualify for Europe. The street is going to know about it if it happens, that's for sure! DM's euro attempts made me sad and now my default is pessimism.

Huge game this week. If I understand this new system correctly, succeed and it'll be the first time we've made Europe in what 13 years? Which given how many times we've failed will be a decent achievement for Glass in his first season. Still a huge hurdle to overcome in Qarabag, they showed they weren't to be underestimated. What is the status of McLennan's injury? I don't really know what to make of this game. I really hope we get a big crowd for it as the team seem to thrive on it. 12.5k isn't overly encouraging given we're only a couple of days out. Surely the ref can't be as bad as last weeks... Out Bed Probably awake with the boys WFH - lockdown heaven 2-1, JET, Brown. Think we'll lose on pens. No doubt brown will have the team fired up, but just can't see it.

We’re going to be highly erratic this season.

Love a good trip to tynecastle, always been one of my favourite away days. Obviously our first game against the river swimmer. He’s scored a few goals and be interesting how he copes under the pressure of the crowd if it doesn’t go their way. we’re obviously down to bare bones and it’s going to be really interesting how we play this, given Thursday’s must win situation. Guessing McCrorie goes into CB alongside Gallagher ? Given how gassed Ramirez looked, I doubt we’ll be playing him from the start. We really need reinforcements. Wonder how cormack will react after hibs made him look bad. out bed bed hopefully bed 2-0 hearts, no dons scorer

Decent write up on the opposition here:

I actually found it on one of the streaming apps here. First episode was excellent. Good cast too. @HaarDon it does. It's not incredibly fast paced but it got better and better I thought.

Very sad news. I wasn't aware he was battling cancer.

Saw the photos the Cormack put up of the pitch, looks fucking awful

What's this? Not sure it's made it down the planet yet.

We’ll ignore the fact that Azerbaijan is in asia, this is a huge euro test. On the back of the result today and potential injuries, it’s certainly been made harder. Hopefully the fact that so many changes were made we might find the form that our early season’s form has suggested. ive no doubt we’ll revert to as much of that same XI as much as possible. JET might get some confidence from his goal but can’t see it being transformational. We need to address the glaring shortcomings in this team if we’re to progress. One thing going in our favour is they’ve only just started their domestic season. Drew 1-1 away to a team that finished 5th, so shouldn’t be brimming with confidence. Hopefully there should be a few dons fans in attendance given the countries oil industry. out bed work work 2-1 qarabag , Ramirez

I'm sorry m'lud. Will probably happen again! We should win this one, they're not in great form but it's a bit all over the shop. 2-0 Dons, Ramirez and JET.
