McKenzie dropped for Scales as expected and unbelievably Richardson back in.

Like the options on formation above but only change I can see Goodwin making is McKenzie dropping out for Scales. Rest will be as per Saturday. They are not as good as Victims so we maybe able to play a bit further up the field but after kicking we got at Ibrox not expecting us to be that adventurous.

Probably should.

Disagree. We don’t have a serviceable right back at the club so getting one is a priority. Don’t disagree about fact we have far to many wide attacking players and not enough central midfielders but right back for me is a must sort as a lot of our defensive issues are down to how poor Richardson is.

We looked better defensively as we had 8 at the back for 90 minutes. Jack McKenzie played well but will be dropped or moved to accommodate the return of Scales.

Getting what we deserved from the game. Cannot approach Tuesday like this.

65 minutes in and we have not touched the ball in the opposition box. Murder to watch. Only positive is Victims have not really looked like scoring. Might sneak this.

This is as negative a set up as anything under McInnes.

Richardson dropped for Kennedy. Looks a bit lightweight in central midfield.

Going to have to make a change to the defence as Scales obviously cannot play against his parent club which immediately puts us at a disadvantage. We could bring McKenzie into play left side of a three but that means playing the defensively weak Coulson at left wing back. Other option is to switch to a 4 but Stewart and Richardson have struggled in this formation. Draw back of loaning a player from another team in your league. Early kick off combined with rail strike means I am out for this one which might not be a bad thing.

Young dons team through on penalties last night.

Dons ditched him a while back and he went to Dundee then club took him back year later. Few things around that period that did not go down well.

Not sure Lewis Pirie will be staying on. Loads of interest from down South and he has not had the best of experience with Dons youth system in the past.

Might head to their game against Newtongrange tomorrow if he is playing.

3rd results below Late game finished Clyde 1-3 Dumbarton. Drumchapel United and Darvel producing the giant killing acts. Draw for 4th round when Dons enter is after the Ayr United v Pollock match on Monday.

Hibs fans seem pretty certain this means bottom 6 for them.

Not sure where to stick this so put it in here. Boyle out for the season.

Only ever seen them in club shop. They were supposed to be getting more in for run up to Christmas when I asked a couple of weeks ago. Might be worth emailing them.

Lovely strike by Clarkson. Emslie looked good since came on. Cobb for Atlanta looks a player at centre back.

Vinnie off after 30 minutes replaced by Lopes.

Looks like Ramirez took a sore one there.

Team for tonight.

Much better second half from Scotland but finished 2-1.

Tonight’s friendly with Atlanta United is on Red TV for those interested. https://redtv.afc.co.uk
