That was dire stuff. No attacking threat whatsoever. Had plenty of the ball but far to slow in moving the ball forward which allowed Kilmarnock to get back into their defensive positions and we were completely unable to break them down. Agree with those who say Campbell was our best player. Substitutions were bizarre to say the least. Only positive is we are still in the cup and Kilmarnock are so bad that we will probably get through the replay. Just not sure I want to put myself through the abysmal shite we will play to do so.

Would expect changes to line up from Wednesday. Surely Gallagher will be dropped for McGinn. Hope we do not return to 3 holding midfielders but can see McInnes reverting to this. We need to start the game on the front foot and attack Kilmarnock from the off but our 3 holding midfielders do not allow us to do this. Logan should come back in for Hernandez who looked well short of match sharpness but that’s not a surprise given he had not played since end of November. Maybe needs a couple of reserve games to get a bit of match sharpness. Pity we withdrew from the reserve league. Have no option but to stick with misfiring Cosgrove up front as we do not have another option now. Failure to prioritise another attacking option when club had clearly decided Main and Wilson were not the answer was criminal. We really need to attack Kilmarnock from the off as if we allow them to put us under pressure or worse score early on the atmosphere will turn ugly quickly. In Pub in town Y Beers in town then family meal 1-0 McGinn

Come on Rico you have seen Taylor’s aimless punts which were just as bad as anything Devlin produced.

No goals in 4 games and no goals from open play in 6. Failure to address the lack of creation in the middle of the park in the January window was criminal.

Hernandez off for Anderson. Assume going to 3 at the back.

McGinn on for Gallagher which is correct decision. Very poor first half.

Ojo McGinn and Logan dropped for Hernandez, Gallagher and Hedges.

Really think we need to drop one of 3 in middle to allow us the extra attacking option we will need to break down a St Johnstone side who will sit in deep. They have managed two 1-1 draws with this approach so far against us. Would agree with team suggested by Elgin other than dropping Logan who played well on Saturday plus I wonder how fit Hernandez will be considering he was only half way through preseason in Norway. Oot Work Flat Flat 1-0 Kennedy.

Same team as last week. Perversely the slow ponderous way they played last week probably suits us against Tribute Act.

Ronald Hernandez signed from Stabaek in Norway. https://mobile.twitter.com/aberdeenfc/status/1223274889513181185?s=12 Right back apparently on 4 year deal.

Should never have been taken back after loan deal as was obviously a waster but was an easy lazy signing for McInnes.

Can we given we just extend his deal to the end of the season there?

Vyner’s loan deal been terminated due to his injury. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/zak-vyners-aberdeen-stay-to-21393865

Cannot see us getting a win playing the way we are at the moment. We need to play the way we did in second half at Pittodrie against them to have any chance but we have not played with that intensity since. Oot Flat Local game probably Edinburgh Uni v Spartans Flat 3-0 no dons scorer

Why did I bother with that. Knew how it would be bad but still went. Why did we have 3 holding midfielders against St fucking Mirren. Ojo should not play against any of the teams outside the top 2 as he offers zero in an attacking sense and slows the team down as soon as he is on the ball. Usually at least 5 touches more than needed. He was not worst player on the field either. I really fear what is going to happen next week.

Against my better judgement will probably head through tomorrow. If Kennedy is fit to play would like to see us going with Hedges and him on either flank and McGinn in the middle behind Cosgrove. Would try Ferguson and McGeough in the middle as no need for a defensive player like Ojo against St Mirren surely. Cash gate for away end tomorrow. In Train through from Capital Away end Train back to Capital. 2-0 Cosgrove and McGinn.

Brutal stuff. We are just a long ball team. Other than McGinn we have zero creation. As someone said Ojo, McGeouch and Ferguson are far to similar. We need another creative option in there. Getting no enjoyment out of watching Dons this season and sadly cannot see it changing.

Wilson supposedly out injured again for tonight. Being described as an injury blow in the press but not sure how an injury to a player who never plays is a blow.

Would like to see Anderson and Cosgrove starting together again. They need a good few games together to see if they can form a partnership. However if McInnes wants to have McGeouch Ferguson and Ojo on the field can see Anderson dropping out. Oot Work Flat Flat 1-1 Cosgrove

Went to see 1917 tonight. Really good.

Full 5th round draw. Inverness vs Livingston Clyde vs Celtic BSC Glasgow vs Dundee United or Hibs St Mirren vs Motherwell Ayr United vs St Johnstone Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock Hamilton vs Rangers Arbroath or Falkirk vs Hearts

FOURTH ROUND Aberdeen 1 Dumbarton 0 Alloa 2 Inverness CT 3 Arbroath 0 Falkirk 0 Ayr 1 Ross County 0 Bonnyrigg Rose 0 Clyde 1 East Kilbride 1 BSC Glasgow 3 Hamilton 5 Edinburgh City 0 Hearts 5 Airdrieonians 0 Kilmarnock 6 Queen's Park 0 Livingston 3 Raith Rovers 1 St Johnstone 3 Morton 0 St Mirren 3 Broxburn Athletic 0 Partick Thistle 1 Celtic 2 Dundee 0 Motherwell 3 Rangers 2 Stranraer 0 Dundee United 2 Hibs 2 Only really one shock with Ayr putting County out. Only 2 replays as well.

Ferguson suspended for this one so be interesting to see how we line up in midfield. Would expect McGeouch to start. Would like to see us go with Anderson and Cosgrove as a front 2 but cannot see McInnes going with that. As long as we approach the game professionally should be a comfortable victory. Oot (forgot to book the train and no cheap tickets left) Flat Local game Flat 3-0 Cosgrove, McGinn and McKenna.

Arbroath fans seem very pleased with this. They seemed to think that he had been doing so well that we would recall him in this window.

Meant to vote for Snelders, Grant and Jess but my fat fingers mean Rooney has a vote.
