glasgow sheep Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Massive game on Tue. Might be inclined to freshen things up a bit and start with Hayes but not sure who I would leave out. The obvious answer is Clark but when we went to two in the middle on sat we lost out a bit to Dundee. Vernon needs to get in on the goals as looks short if confidence but as the Dunfermline game showed we are a poorer team with out him. Got to keep the momentum going and surely just by the law of averages if we get through we are due a semi final win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Going to miss this one due to it being mid week. If we win do when would the semi finals be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Agree GS, I think we need to keep some consistency. Hayes deserves a starting spot after his goal, and by the sounds of it played really well when he came on yesterday. Clark sounded like he was pretty anonymous in the first half so would probably be the one to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 looking at the form of the two teams we have to be clear favourites but in saying that we have been abysmal for the last couple of league cup games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickofthedons Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah, Hayes deserves a start, he's been unlucky to have McGinn and Fraser playing so well in his position. I'd like to see us play the formation we had when Hayes came on, the othodox 4-4-2 with Hayes and Fraser out wide and McGinn up with Vernon. Although could see some changes, Naysmith, Milsom might come in and likes of Fraser might get rested. Would like to see Smith get a longer run out too, or even McManus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow sheep Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'd be wary of changing too much and as much as I'd like us to play 442 we look better in our 451/433 formation. Apparently Helen haven't lost in seven at pittodrie. Hopefully another record broken and a decent crowd and atmosphere in the ground.

glasgow sheep Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Aberdeen have played St Mirren 15 times in the league cup, but only once in a QF, in 1989 when we won 3-1 thanks to goals from Mason, Bett and an own goal. In the 8 games played at Pittodrie we have yet to lose, with 6 wins and 2 draws. The biggest League Cup game against St Mirren came in 1955 when the Dons won the League Cup 2-1 at Hamdpen in front of 44,000 fans: The Full Record: Neutral Played 1 Won 1 Home Played 8 Won 6 Drawn 2 Lost 0 Away Played 6 Won 3 Drawn 2 Lost 1 All Played 15 Won 10 Drawn 4 Lost 1 Match Breakdown 19 Aug 1995 Aberdeen 3 - 1 St. Mirren League Cup R2 10,397 30 Aug 1989 Aberdeen 3 - 1 St. Mirren League Cup QF 11,500 25 Aug 1976 Aberdeen 4 - 0 St. Mirren League Cup G2 8,212 18 Aug 1976 St. Mirren 2 - 3 Aberdeen League Cup G2 4,500 29 Aug 1964 Aberdeen 2 - 2 St. Mirren League Cup G1 7,000 15 Aug 1964 St. Mirren 3 - 3 Aberdeen League Cup G1 5,000 28 Aug 1963 St. Mirren 0 - 3 Aberdeen League Cup G2 7,000 14 Aug 1963 Aberdeen 2 - 2 St. Mirren League Cup G2 11,000 22 Oct 1955 Aberdeen 2 - 1 St. Mirren League Cup F 44,106 27 Aug 1949 Aberdeen 1 - 0 St. Mirren League Cup GA 22,000 13 Aug 1949 St. Mirren 3 - 1 Aberdeen League Cup GA 25,000 02 Oct 1948 St. Mirren 1 - 1 Aberdeen League Cup GD 17,000 30 Aug 1947 Aberdeen 2 - 0 St. Mirren League Cup GA 20,000 09 Aug 1947 St. Mirren 0 - 1 Aberdeen League Cup GA 8,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Going to miss this one on account of needing to pay money to get in and having other things to do. I thought Clark was largely pretty good on Saturday so I'd stick with the same team again if possible. Chances of some youngsters getting in aboot the first team probably not great? Would like to see McManus get a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Out, first League Cup game I've missed this season Got to head off south early doors on Wed morning, so just no time I'm afraid. Hoping for comfortable victory (although any victory will do given what is at stake) We simply must beat the semi final jinx sometime Here's hoping it is this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This is now no longer the case. In. No longer going to the County game. Oft! Reckon I'd take a win over Helen and a draw in Dingwall if I had to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wi_09 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 If we win do when would the semi finals be. They are now usually the played last weekend in January with one on TV.

BigAl Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'll take a draw and a win in next couple of games BUT I'll take the win at County on Saturday and a draw in the cup quarter in regulation time with victory in extra time Works better guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
