Guest ally s Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 I'm finishing work early and heading up to this, not sure what to expect. I hope there's significant improvement from the last friendly I was at! Quote
alfromsleep Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Defeat is inevitable Yep, I'm goin'............. Quote
19afc03 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 i'll be there with a car full ...... Come On You Reds!! Quote
mizer Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Posted August 3, 2010 Team: Howard Jack, McArdle, Diamond, Considine Young, Hartley, Fyvie, Mackie Maguire, Magennis (4-4-2) ------ Brechin 0 Aberdeen 1 Fyvie (16) Quote
glasgow sheep Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Team: Howard Jack, McArdle, Diamond, Considine Young, Hartley, Fyvie, Mackie Maguire, Magennis (4-4-2) ------ Brechin 0 Aberdeen 1 Fyvie (16) Wonder how far from our starting XI v Hamilton that is? With Foster suspended and Lanfield, Aluko and Pawlett all likely to be short of match fitness I would guess maybe dropping Jack and Magennis for Ifil and Vernon would be the only changes? Quote
dickofthedons Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Im sure we will have Basey in at left back. Maybe McArdle of the right and Considine and Diamond in the middle I also wouldn't mind Pawlett and Aluko in on the wings, Pawlett especially. Obviously only if he is fit enough. Up front Vernon and Maguire/Paton, I'd rather see Paton Quote
KGB Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 This pre season has been a total joke. Were doomed Quote
KGB Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 2-2 apparently....... Yep, Considine 3 mins into injury time. Paul Hartley must be wondering what hes got himself involved with Quote
glasgow sheep Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Well we can't be any worse in the season proper than we have been pre-season..........can we? Quote
KGB Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Well we can't be any worse in the season proper than we have been pre-season..........can we? Dont be so negative. Course we can Quote
capitalsharpie Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 typical shambolic pre season. No surprises whatsoever. Quote
McMaster Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Well, looking on the brightside, we were playing lower division sides pre-season (so-far) and we always get cuffed by them in the cups, so we should look forward to the Kaiserslautern game as we will probably hump 'em Probably Quote
Mentorred Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 I think we need to have a big clear out and bring in some new players. Get rid of the likes of Kerr, Mcdonald, Mulgrew. Oh Bugger Quote
One Bobby Clark Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 it's all part of the plan, mcghee is lulling all the other teams into a false sense of just how shite we are pretending to be Quote
tlg1903 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Match report on redweb implies we were cruising until making a lot of changes at ht, brechins last game before starting the season so would have gone for it. Not reading much into this to be honest Quote
CtS Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Not reading much into this to be honest Nor I. This time last year we were getting absolutely horsed in Europe by a team nobody had ever heard of before, destroying any confidence the players and fans had for the coming campaign. Yet again our season will be shaped by how good a start we make so the Hamilton game is already a 'must win' as far as I'm concerned, I just hope the players treat it as such. But I'm confident we'll be in better shape come our first competative game this season. Quote
Mentorred Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Why did he change so much at half time? Surely at this stage of preseason with only a couple of games left we should be trying to play a settled team with a settled formation. Quote
McMaster Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 I seem to remember a few years ago when we were playing our pre-season in Egypt and we were getting cuffed by a team called Aluminium!! That was dodgy. I think we got cuffed by Arab Contractors as well Canna mind. But that wasnt great. Must have felt like getting beat by Asda XI Onwards and upwards. Quote
