manc_don Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 A relatively close game for BigAl. DM has said that he will play a side that should be strong enough to win on Wednesday as Ayr are a decent enough side and can (hopefully won't) cause an upset. Could really do with a good cup victory to start the season. Out Work Hopefully listening online Flat 2-1 Dons, Stockley and Storey Quote
LA-Don Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 3-0 dons, Stockley, Rooney, Storey Curious to see the strategy here, don't want to mess with the line up too much but it will be 4 competitive games in 2 weeks and wins Wednesday and Sunday will certainly put us right back on track. I'm all for Alexander getting the nod, important to get him a game and familiarity with those around him. Give Shinnie a breather and I think McGinn is carrying a knock. Also good to further develop the OConnor Reynolds partnership. Tempted to go with Storie for McLean but maybe a good game for McLean to get some confidence back. I'd go with Alexander Logan-OConnor-Reynolds-Considine Storey-Jack-McLean-Burns Rooney-Stockley Quote
Madbadteacher Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 I reckon on it being an awkward but in the end professional 2-0 win for the Dons, Jack and McLean Quote
Jute Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Need to make up for last seasons abysmal showings in the cups. Would go with our strongest team tonight so we can get the game done quickly. Can always rest players once we are well ahead. In (as long as work does not interfere) Train then hopefully a beer in town Standing behind the goal Jogging for last train 2-0 McGinn and Stockley Quote
manc_don Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 3-0 dons, Stockley, Rooney, Storey Alexander Logan-OConnor-Reynolds-Considine Storey-Jack-McLean-Burns Rooney-Stockley I'd generally agree with that, sensible line up. Minus McLean, think we need to see what someone else can offer in that position. Quote
BigAl Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 In Work Away end Home 3.0 Shockley, Storey & Logan Quote
Chris Frae Killie Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 In Work Main Stand Home 2-0 Dons Stockley and O'Connor Quote
manc_don Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 Line up: Aberdeen: Lewis, Logan, Shinnie, Considine, Reynolds, McLean, Burns, Rooney, McGinn, O'Connor, Jack. Subs: Alexander, Stockley, Storey, McKenna, Storie, Wright, Nuttall. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 2-0 Dandies, McGinn with the second after an o.g. opened the scoring after a couple of minutes. Quote
Jute Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 2-0 Dandies, McGinn with the second after an o.g. opened the scoring after a couple of minutes. 2-1 now. Lewis parried shot from Ayr player into middle of the goal for them to finish. Quote
BigAl Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Fucking unbelievable that this is 2-1. Have had total dominance without taking the chances. Hope McInnes doesn't decide to manage the game out Quote
ayrshire_don74 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 shite performance and the usual inability to actually score with an abundance of attacking talent, blame lies at manager not enough players want it Quote
manc_don Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Posted August 10, 2016 Sounds like we passed up a shite load of chances? Really need to start to taking chances. A wins a win in the cup though Quote
Edinburghdon Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 2-1 now. Lewis parried shot from Ayr player into middle of the goal for them to finish. Christ don't mention that... You know who will have a fit! Quote
BigAl Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Failure to convert chances led to that being a lot more nervy than necessary. On another night as Ryan Stevenson said on Radio Scotland we could have scored seven or eight in the first half alone. Major pluses were Burns and O'Connor. End of the day, job done and in the last eight. Quote

manc_don Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Posted August 11, 2016 Our first away win in the cup since Anderson & Pawlett scored against the Dims at the Tattiedome I believe!! Christ, feels like a lifetime ago! Nearly 1,000 Dandies there last night, no doubt the central belt based dandies were well represented Quote
