Dons vs Tims

[manc_don]

Not expecting anything from this game in all honesty. They’ve fairly charged on since our game and we’ve now got a couple of injuries to deal with. Be interesting to see of those who started against hearts, start again on wed. Doohan obviously is pretty much guaranteed but unsure of the rest. Does polvara get a chance in this one, be good to get some minutes in his legs after being out for so long. If we get this wrong and it could be a bit of a doing like the cup semi. Be nice if we can keep the GD tally down. Also need all our players to turn up and put in a good shift!

Got a really bad feeling about this one. Think our small squad is starting to show strain of number of games of late. Can see the green bigots going all out to give us another semi final style doing. Thankfully work is busy at the moment so not able to make the game.

Mitov missing for this and next 6 weeks with a lot of games. Think we need to be looking at getting an emergency loan in sharpish.

Can't remember the criteria of being allowed an emergency loan signing but given Doohan is fit, I am not sure we'd be allowed 

More than happy to be proved wrong though Jute.

Tom Ritchie recalled from loan spell @ Bonnyrigg Rose and I guess he will go onto the bench as cover for Doohan

Surely he's not worse than Doohan? He got great reviews when at Huntly, and he's currently Bonnyrigg's first choice. Would Doohan get a game at that level? 

Goalie is such a leveller in this league. It's really difficult to get two good keepers, there are only two teams that can afford that. The only way there isn't significant drop off is if you have a really good young goalie coming through that maybe isn't quite ready for the first team. Otherwise you're stuck with merry-go-round jobbers. Of course there are teams (Hibs) for whom both keepers are pish. Perhaps that's easier to deal with in a way! Hearts have two fairly decent ones, but that's because Gordon is a fan, and came through the ranks. That's quite unusual.

Doohan is going to lose us points (arguably has already, flappy cunt!). I think his shot stopping is half decent, but he doesn't come for crosses and, the biggest problem, he doesn't build the play from the back the way Mitov does. It's a bit of a disaster to be honest.

Need to arrange for Doohan to have an escape to victory style “accident” and get in a decent loan.

None of this fills me with any positivity at all. Happy to be proven wrong. Isn’t Ritchie pish?

Bonnyrigg fans were initially quite pleased with him but think he’s had a couple of poor games and was dropped after a 5-0 defeat to East Fife for a game.

Well this is going to end well, isn't it?
