SSN suggesting Gerrard is in London today for talks with Blue bigots. Gerrard flopped in Saudi and not sure he is one to work with a squad that needs to be developed.
Think we need to approach this in similar way to the game in Copenhagen as when we opened up against them in March we got thrashed. Goalkeeper is major concern as none of them are playing for their clubs. Gunn is now third choice at Forrest, Kelly is 2nd choice at Blue Bigots and Gordon is second choice at Hearts. Not a great position to be in. Hickey is fit so should start at right back with Robertson at left back. Would like to see 3 centre backs as Tierney McKenna and Souter but know Clarke will want Hanley in there. Midfield is interesting one with several of the players playing well. McGinn especially is playing well at Villa. Striking options are pretty limited as always but at least all are playing and have scored. Would expect Clarke to stick with Che as starting striker. Greeks will have been stung by defeat by Danes in last round of qualifiers and looking to get back on track. A draw might be result that suits both. Got ticket for tonight but not sure going to be heading over as still getting over op will be a last minute decision.
1-1 Adams
Dylan Lobban signs a contract extension.
Hopefully find away of getting him game time to help with his development. Thought he looked decent at Cove last season so happy with this.
Martin signed a 3 year deal in June and he lasted 123 days of that. They are going to have to pay the rest of that 3 year deal up. They really are a bin fire.
He did well to stick with it. Nice assist from Nisbet. Dundee look shit and assume the tramp in their dugout will be away soon if they have any chance to avoid drop.
3-0
Goals again for Marshall (equaliser against Thistle for Arbroath) and Bavidage. Do we look to bring both back in January to bolster the squad.
Think at a minimum we should be looking to extend Marshall’s contract. Radio praised his performance again yesterday and as I have said before think there is definitely a premier league player in there.
As much as Thursday was an improvement our opponents suited our style of play as they dominated possession. Not going to be the same today as it will be Dundee who will sit in and be happy not to have the ball. We need to find a way of creating space in Dundee back line. Hopefully Devlin will be able to start as he offers so much more than Jensen at right back. Not sure we need 3 centre back against Dundee so could we drop Dorrington and brining in Nisbet to play alongside Lazetic up front?
According to my Dundee supporting brother if we can’t beat them then we should be worried as in his in-depth tactical analysis they are “fucking dug shite”.
Game a few days to early for me to make so day on couch for me.

2-0 Karlsson and Nisbet
Suspect he is already out of our price range as attracting attention down south.
Noticed Bruce Anderson was involved in both goals last night. He is one that I felt we let go too soon. Would it be worth bringing him back?
Young side in Aberdeenshire final against Formartine at Inverurie tonight.
Aberdeen: Vitols, Lobban (C), Ross, Carrol, Masson, Teasdale, To, Cummings, Frame, Kjartansson, Ambrose.
Subs: Simpson (GK), Stephen, Searle, Green, McLean, McDonnell, Duncan
Just seen it (okay may have seen it last night and the morphine fog took it) and it’s a farcical decision. The exact thing we were told would be eliminated by the introduction of VAR.
VAR brings nothing to game and it is ruining attending live matches. It needs punting. I would rather go to a lower league game without VAR these days.
