manc_don Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well after the disappointment (again) of a euro home fixture, have to pick ourselves up for bottom of the side st. Johnstone. If we set up a la Ross county, we should be fine, but I’d like to close this game out early. They haven’t really done much this season, but it has a banana skin feel to it. Would be a shame to not build on the positivity, but suspect rotation will be key here. Hopefully Robson makes the right calls and changes it early if he needs to. out bed bed bed 1-0 dons, Barron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Hoping Barron can start,and maybe move Clarkson higher up. Reluctant to rest Shinnie but St J are about as poor a side we'll meet top flight,as good a time for it.Think this game might suit Duk too In Mainer Prediction 2 - 0 Don's . Duk x2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Tend to agree this may be the game to rest shinnie. Barron clarkson and McGrath is a little lightweight, and while polvara is bigger he’s not got the battling qualities. When we getting introduced to or dadia? I’d even consider Hayes in there for an hour then bring on fresh legs. 3-1 - miovski sokler and ruby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storms maybe, and snow/ice obviously, but I can't remember a rain cancellation. Usually pretty good for drainage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only one that came close to being called off that I can think of was game against Huns where McCoist “accidentally” kicked Theo’s head in. That was torrential for hours but after inspection from the ref was played but it must have been close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantheDon Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 If this does go ahead we could catapult ourselves up to 4th with a 2 goal victory. Wouldn't be bad considering where we where during the international break. That said I'm not taking anything for granted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like there have been very few games that have been called off due to rain? Hoping the drainage holds. With a chocka fixture list, we don’t want to add to it at an inconvenient time.

Aye, in conditions like these you need folk that are piling in to the challenges. It's what the spectators come to see. Not Clarkson fairying around with his fancy passing.

Very true, didn’t consider that! Doesn’t mean he won’t tire, especially with heavy ground today. win and assuming the Huns go on and win we’re 4 points off third. If we can be third or fourth by Xmas and ideally fix the squad/midfield in that window we certainly cannot complain. Hopefully that’s our bad run out the way and we maintain consistency as we appear to have found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Team as expected. MacKenzie/Hayes and Clarkson/Barron were the two midweek subs around the hour mark, and Robson has now started with that side. You don't want to make too many changes when you're on a decent run and you've got an international break to rest a few players anyway.

Jute Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Team pretty much as I would have gone with although would probably have considered switching Duk for Sokler. St Johnstone have looked pretty rotten in highlights I have watched and this should be a game we are putting away with the minimum of fuss. oot flat stream flat 3-0 Miovski, Jensen & Duk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Interesting to see vinnie there. He offers something different, width higher up the field that nobody else can do (Hayes did but the pace isn’t there any more.) Not a bad option to have, provided he’s not expected to be a wing back. Do not like seeing others shoehorned wide. happy with Barron in, clarkson is off form, Barron has been a positive this season. still shooting for 3-1, although in all honestly would prefer a win and a shutout, need to be defensively solid and consistent.

They said he was leaning offside on commentary but not convinced. Poor first half overall. Lack of width in first half an issue. Would have liked us to go to 4 at back and brought on Duncan or Besuijen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 0-0 was fair result. Neither side did enough to win the game. Far too many long balls into the corners from us. Glad I decided against going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
