Would expect us to stick 3-5-2 for this one. Richardson will probably come back in for Kennedy which is not a good thing and would expect Barron to come back in for Besuijen in midfield. Bit concerned how a midfield of Ramandani, Clarkson and Barron will cope with the physical challenge of Motherwell. Think Goodwin will stick with Lopes and Miovski as front pairing but Ramirez is pushing hard for a start. Motherwell have lost 3 on the spin although admittedly against top 3 sides but do seem to be struggling for form. However they do like a result against us and with their height will give us issues on set pieces. In Lift over then pub. Away end Lift back to capital 2-2 Miovski and Lopes

Not even close.

Could be wrong but think it will be 3-5-2 again.

Richardson dropped. Surprised Barron out but maybe not wanting two games a week on way back from injury. Caved in and got supporters bus up. This better be good.

Article was standard one you see from player who is not looking to sign another deal. If he is going hope it’s abroad and we get as big a fee as possible.

Think Goodwin will stick with the 3-5-2. Needs to be our strongest team available as this is a competition we have a chance of winning/getting beat by the Victims at Hampden so need to go for this. I would consider changing Miovski for Ramirez but we need to give Miovski and Lopes a chance to develop an understanding as a front 2 so probably not. Oot (unless some mug….I mean kind person decides to drive) flat stream if there is one flat 2-0 Lopes and McCrorie

Roos challenge on Humphries looked a penalty. I thought Duk dived/was going down anyway in first half.

Think we got lucky yesterday Hearts should have been a couple up at least before Lopes scored. Thought they should have had a penalty at game and after seeing in on TV not changed that opinion. Think the 3-5-2 is probably way to go for us at the moment. As others have said got better in the second half and got two well worked goals.

No no but pit has to jäger bombs for £5.50. Apparently.

Is heading to pub at half time wrong? Asking for a friend?

Cannot believe Richardson stays in. As others have said Hayes being out is a disaster.

Fair point. Although Truss seems to be going for the call that a bin fire route.

Levelling up something something getting Brexit done something. There was definitely nothing in it about turning the country into worlds biggest bin fire.

Could argue policies Truss and the new de facto Prime Minister Jeremy Cunt are now enacting are not in the Manifesto that Tory party were elected on so they should be going to the country for a fresh mandate. They of course won’t as they know they are fucked and will now use the next two years to line the pockets of their backers with every last penny they can squeeze out of the public purse.

Oh so close. Bit far by train though.

Decided at 7pm that I would go up to this so booked trains. Just seen that my train back has been cancelled already. Hopefully one up not cancelled. I think we have to move McCrorie to right back tomorrow so as he can support the clearly struggling Stewart. Going to leave us with a light weight central midfield but better that than continuing with Richardson. Like Panda’s idea of two up front but would rather try Miovski and Ramirez. Cannot see Goodwin going with two up anyway. Diets are there for the taking tomorrow with injuries plus travel to and from Italy so failure to win will raise serious questions about management and players. In Scotrail permitting Train then pub Y Jog back for train to capital 2-0 Miovski and Ramirez

Two minutes after full time on BBC Sportsound. That was most enjoyable 45 minutes in a long time. Calling for manager to be sacked now.

Ignore the fixtures.

Fixtures

Sorry Al but Richardson was hopless again today. United went after him from the off today as they knew he was weak link. Goals may not have come from his side but his all round amateur level of play unbalanced the team. Simply not good enough for Aberdeen. Stewart not much better. As Rico said simply too slow for this league and distribution is not good enough to play system manager wants. Coulson was very poor tonight looked like he had no idea how to defend. Thought Barron and Clarkson looked decent when they came on. Agree again with Rico that Ramirez should have been on much earlier. Morris getting on infront of Duncan was again mystifying. Next weeks game against a struggling Hearts is massive.

You off to Paris as well?

Stewart beat me to it. Knew he would be up for few games as he had been warned before but 6 games is excessive to say the least.

Would be ridiculous if Forrest sacked Cooper after what he did last season. The huge number of players brought in during the Summer means he needs time to find his best team. After getting them promoted last season he surely deserves to be given more than a couple of months to do that.

Train strike again this weekend so be interesting to see what effect it has on crowd. Thankfully some idiot……I mean decent chap has agreed to drive up to game so will be there. Scales back so would expect him to come back in and McCrorie moved back into midfield. In Lift then pub or Dundee North End v Tayport Fair Play Lift back to Capital 3-0 Miovski McCrorie Watkins.
