Dons vs Hibs

[manc_don]

We seem to have sparked a wee revival in Hibs’ form after our game at Easter road, whereas we’ve continued to struggle. Injuries certainly aren’t helping and are we now seeing a squad struggling to cope with the demands of the system? Would be nice to end the year at home with a good victory to get us out of our apparent slump. Club are certainly trying to push the fans for another sell out, but not sure how sales are going? 
 

How do we see us setting up? Hopefully the week off has freshened ideas up and given the likes of Shinnie and Nilsen a much needed rest. Likewise McGrath, who just hasn’t been at it despite scoring. Thought Nisbet was rotten against them in Edinburgh, and I’ve been far from convinced by him. Like the team, his form seems to have dropped off a cliff, but if a game against his former side can’t do it, then very little will.

Feeling confident for this one 2bh despite Hibs recent improvement.  I have a feeling the club will have given the players some time off to get home to see families etc and hopefully they will have an extra spring in their step the steps on Sat as a result.  I certainly fully expect them to be right on it from the whistle and we should have enough to take the points. 

3-0 dons, Keskinen, Sokler and the Scottish Cafu.

That'll be the last we see of Duk then.

Only tickets left in section Y in the South and RDS upper which is decent effort.

Think Nilsen is suspended for this one so would expect Palaversa to come in for  him. Hopefully McKenzie is fit as McGarry hasn’t been anywhere near as effective at left back. Think Keskinen and McGrath should start as wide either side of Clarkson. No idea who starts up front as don’t think any of them have done enough to make the position their own.

As you say Hibs seem to have picked up a bit of late so can see this being a difficult game. That said their keeper is shite so if we can get pressure on him we will get opportunities.

Thought Nilsen had 6 yellows and was suspended but obviously not. Glad to see MacKenzie back.

Nice to see us back to ‘normal,’ our strongest 11 with the exception of mitov. Duk and morris impact subs. Said before that I don’t think clarkson and McGrath like this is great but it’s the best we have until we sign a legit left winger.

3-1 us, clarkson sokler duk

All too familiar central defensive blunder ffs.

Morris for McGrath at ht, don’t think Jamie has touched the ball.
