SC Round 4: Elgin vs Dons

[manc_don]

Fuck me, didn't think we'd be going into this game when we drew them, as needing it to be a must win. But here we are. Our confidence appears to be rock bottom but hoping that the team and management can get their heads together and sort this out. Think anyone going will definitely need a good amount of booze, as I don't think it'll be one to remember. Their early form, like ours, has taken a turn for the worse, albeit, not as drastically as ours. They are also still scoring goals.

No idea what to expect. We should win this, especially since our fitness should prevail, but concede an early goal and who knows. Hopefully the supports stick behind the team but we need the team to stand up.

Wellington Anniversary day - even meant to be sunny all weekend 

Elgin 1 - Dons 2, Duk and McGarry

Elgin will be a tougher test than Spartans were in the league cup but still should be a game we are winning. Would like to see Jensen start if Mackenzie is still “injured”. Was not that impressed with Dorrington on Wednesday but would still start him over Nilsen at centre back. Gutted that have stuff on that means can’t make this as always enjoy a Scottish cup game.

Maybe Hibs v Clydebank if have time. 

Out with family

3-0 Nisbet x2 and Keskinen

[Elgindon]

Elgin have a makeshift and small defence at present because half their back line are out.From what I saw last weekend they werent great but can play better.Front players were pretty useful,but Tobers and co should cope with them

Oot

Prediction - 0 - 3  Okkels,Duk,nisbet

[Elgindon]

Thanks Al I hadn't realised now I'll have to tear myself away from a nice walk and blether and watch the game 

[Reekie_Red]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about this one. I reckon it's gonna be too early for Gueye to make a telling impact. But I reckon we'll just squeeze it and score a couple in the final 10 minutes, leading to "Dons leave it late in cup win" headline:

Elgin 1-3 Aberdeen - Keskinen, Jensen, Morris

You'll be cursing me if it all goes wrong and you hit the drink as a result 

[Jute]

Ambrose? Probably about his level I suppose.

[OrlandoDon]

Not liking the line up at all. Too many changes.

[Slim]

If ever there was a game to give Devlin and Nilsen a rest…

[Elgindon]

Oof,nae sure about that line up. Possibly Duk/Ambrose can rumble up the small Elgin defence,Rubezic for set pieces.

  Ah well

Would have rested sivert for sure, play shinnie who also has a full understanding of these types of games. For this reason too I play Delvin.

Will be interesting to see how Tobers does on his wrong foot. He's looked very composed on the ball generally. If he can play there, that will solve a lot of our issues. Jensen getting a start is good too. Not sure I'd pick Morris on a tight, shitey pitch, but hopefully he can get back to some of kind of form.

I’d never have picked morris, for the pitch size but more we need those with determination and fight. Never been morris.

Just watching red tv. Ambrose doesn’t look like a footballer. Doesn’t even walk/move like an athlete/!
