mizer Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Posted February 14, 2013 CRAIG BROWN doesn’t regret signing Gary Naysmith – and is convinced the veteran defender can still play a big role in the race for second in the SPL. Naysmith, 34, has made only five appearances since arriving from Huddersfield in the summer. But he’s now set to face Dundee at Pittodrie tomorrow night after coming through 60 minutes with the under-20s on Tuesday. Brown extended the Scotland full-back’s short-term deal in January. And the Dons boss said: “Gary’s not played as many games as he’d have liked but there are 11 games left and he will be needed. It’s been hard luck on his part. I know he’s been frustrated and was the first to say if he wasn’t going to play a part he wouldn’t hang around. “It’ll be like a new signing. His return is good timing as Mark Reynolds is suspended and Andy Considine’s out for the season.” Big draw tomorrow night will be to see the new signing Quote

mizer Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 NIALL McGinn is determined to down Dundee again and get Aberdeen back on the goal trail – and back in the race for second. The Dons have slumped to eighth in the SPL after a winless start to 2013 and McGinn’s strike in the 3-1 defeat to St Johnstone was the last of only three goals scored since the turn of the year. The Northern Ireland attacker has blasted 15 of the Dons’ 31 league goals this term and claimed seven of their last nine – including a hat-trick against Dundee in December. McGinn could do with teammates chipping in against the Dark Blues at Pittodrie tonight but the ex-Celtic man is happy to take the strain. He said: “I managed to get a hat-trick the last time and it was nice to get the first of my career. “I was delighted on the day. It was a great atmosphere and it was a cracking occasion. It was great to get such a good performance and result in Dundee’s back yard. “It’d be nice to do it again but three points is the main priority. People say there is pressure on my shoulders but I don’t see it like that. There’s pressure on everyone – we all go out hoping to do well. “We’re going through a wee sticky patch but a few wins can kick start our season again.” But Dons boss Craig Brown has warned the Dens Park men will be no soft touches. He said: “It’d be disappointing if we failed to beat Dundee at home. We must ensure there is no slip-up and that we do the job properly. “We have to concentrate fully against a team which is fighting for their life and for respectability.” Quote
Jute Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Crowd nearly 3000 less than previous game against Dundee. Hopefully the end of this Friday night pish. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Friday night games would be ok imho if it was a summer sport, long summer evening, still daylight at least at the start, beer garden afterwards. But February? No. Also they need to look at the travelling/public transport involved. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 A win is a win is a win. Quote
manc_don Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 A win, but an embarrassing win at that. One goal at home to the shittest team in probably the top two divisions isn't really acceptable in my eyes. Quote
CtS Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Absolutely fucking dire. Several players proved they're simply not good enough for the spl tonight, Robertson and Shaughnessy were both honking, Hughes and Vernon can gtf too. The game was screaming out for some talented young attacking players to come on, even Magennis, but he gets taken on as a fucking full back again. Totally sick of it, I'll keep going because I've got a season ticket, but without one I'd find it really hard to get motivated for any more games this season. My kids have given up, and I really don't blame anyone else who chooses the stay away option. Shite pitch, shite players, shite crowd, shite game. Shite. Quote
Andrew Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 I quite enjoyed the game as I was quite pissed and went out afterwards. Was annoyed with the Dundee fans waving this though(made me feel sick)... Quote
mizer Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Posted February 16, 2013 Was listening to the post match debate with Willie Miller, Billy Dodds and Richard Gordon. Miller backed up by Dodds was saying Craig Brown was right to make the changes which were rightly perceived as negative and the crowd had to just suck it up as its better to win ugly as Dundee were on top in the 2nd half. Richard Gordon then spoke for us all and said should he not be making changes to get us back on top in the game. Quote
maverick sheep Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 The substitutions are absolutely irrelevant. When any player in red had the ball they had no idea other than hoof it vaguely away from our goal. It was horrendous. It's as though our training doesn't actually involve any passing whatsoever. Quote
manc_don Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Why make changes to encourage the opposition to attack? Ridiculous statement and exactly why fans are not returning to pittodrie. I really did not envy having to suffer that last night. It sounded horrific. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 The substitutions are absolutely irrelevant. When any player in red had the ball they had no idea other than hoof it vaguely away from our goal. It was horrendous. It's as though our training doesn't actually involve any passing whatsoever. Admittedly I wasnt at the game last night but any time I've seen us (well earlier in the season anyway) we've passed the ball around very well indeed. I can't help thinking the shocking state of the pitch has meant we cant knock the ball around as we have been earlier in the season. Quote
manc_don Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 That would be valid ED, but we still didnt shoot or score goals when the pitch was good! Quote
