manc_don Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Scottish Cup action on Sunday, game is live on BBC one. Three players out (from the starting XI) and we're seeing how much depth we have in the squad. Jack, Hayes and Reynolds all confirmed as being out for Sunday. Stockley should return, will we see the return of AOC to the first XI or will he continue to be excluded? We have the team and quality to get through but Hayes and Jack being out are both massive losses. Out Hungover Hopefully house watching online Dinner 1-2 Partick, hope I'm wrong as I'd love to see us progress Quote
manc_don Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Posted March 1, 2017 County are nae that good min. Dunno, rising up from the previous round, could be Quote
tlg1903 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 With the loss of Jack Shinnie will defo be in midfield you would think, Christie or PP to play the more advanced role. AOC will have to come in alongside Taylor for Consi to play left back. Can see Rooney or Storey starting wide (though PP could play there) with the other through the middle. No question that Partick will be a tough nut to crack, they are a really solid side and I wait in baited breath to see what the starting line up is. out tv at home walk the dog 2-1 shinnie and maclean Quote
A llad insane Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Hayes & Jack will be a huge miss against Thistle, Reynolds c/h position can be filled by O'Connor, Pawlett or even Wright could slot in up front , but i feel the absence of Ryan in midfield with no Robson or Flood could be a problem. Hope Stockley makes it at least. Quote
Nips_and_Tatties Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Dunno, rising up from the previous round, could be Its the eye of the tiger... Annnnn county are shite Feel free to continue Quote
Elgindon Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Crack on Nips,youre playing a stormer.... .... Hope theres a positive crowd for this one.Not a game to be getting on their backs(Ash/Rooney )after last night.Love the SC,canna beat a cup run.Dons to bounce back with a 3-1 win. COYR Quote

Ten Caat Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Injuries showing just how thin our squad really is Thistle on a decent run of form ana... Cant get enthusiastic about this one Quote
LA-Don Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 I'd predict Lewis Logan OConnor Taylor Considine McLean Shinnie Christie Pawlett McGinn Rooney Doubt we'll ever see Shinnie back at LB unless we have major injuries. He'd be a wing back in a 5 but pretty sure he's a full time midfielder and a much needed player in midfield for us. Quote
TheDeeDon Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 Looking forward to Sunday, I think it will be a good game with both teams looking to win. Sitting in my usual seat in the Merkie although the youngest won't be with me as he has something else on which he is not allowed to get out of and luckily enough for me I managed to find someone else to take him to said event or otherwise I would have missed the game also. DM is going to have to make some changes and I would like to see O'Connor return to the team and be interesting to see what he does with the midfield, hopefully he will try something different, we need to keep McLean in the role he is currently doing as he is far better when attacking than when asked to play deep. A tight 2-1 win for the reds, Rooney and Pawlett. Quote
Elgindon Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 Maybe as well its been switched to Sunday,the forecast tomorrow looks utter shite.Hope the pitch holds up. Surely Thistle wont sit in like County,could make for an exciting game... Quote
1903_Redz Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 IN!!!! First game since Stranraer in the Cup There winna be any drinking on the sabbath! But only because of the hangover i'm intending having. Getting a lift there and back. Hopefully the shake-up in personnel will inspire us to a comfortable 3-0. (i am aware Thistle have hardly conceded during 2017) Quote
tlg1903 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 I'm really glad stockley has been passed fit, if we win this game i suspect he will play a significant role in it. I have to say though I do have a bad feeling about this one. Quote
A llad insane Posted March 4, 2017 Report Posted March 4, 2017 Hope this game goes ahead tomorrow, torrential rain for the last 24hrs , we could be looking at waterlogged pitch. Drove along the beach a while back & there are masses of big pools of water at the driving range. IF it is called off, i would presume it would be an early one. Quote
manc_don Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Posted March 4, 2017 Don't really want this game called off. Need to try and regain momentum after the slip up against Hamilton during the week! Quote
tlg1903 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Posted March 4, 2017 postponement is ok by me, we might have one or two of the injured back in contention for the replay. Quote
TheDeeDon Posted March 4, 2017 Report Posted March 4, 2017 The pitch will be in some state tomorrow after all the rain today. I was Pittodrie picking up my tickets this morning and the pavements and roads were covered in water around the stadium so can only imagine the state of the pitch. Highly unlikely it will be postponed though. Quote
scotfree Posted March 4, 2017 Report Posted March 4, 2017 I can see this being an 1 goal game. With the injuries and the loss to Hamilton I'm no that confident it will be us who get that one goal. Quote

InversneckieDob Posted March 5, 2017 Report Posted March 5, 2017 I dinna hae a good feeling about this one. We've made heavy weather of the Harry Wraggs this season and with the injuries...... Hope I'm wrang like. Quote
Garlogie_Granite Posted March 5, 2017 Report Posted March 5, 2017 I dinna hae a good feeling about this one. We've made heavy weather of the Harry Wraggs this season and with the injuries...... Hope I'm wrang like. I'm feeling much the same. Thistle picking up some kind of form just as we stop our winning run and have to make a heap of forced changes. Quote
Elgindon Posted March 5, 2017 Report Posted March 5, 2017 Hear what you's are saying,but lets nae talk ourselves down.Thistle need to come at us more for this one,weve still got plenty flair to take advantage Be good if a few more armchair made the effort along....COYR Quote
Jute Posted March 5, 2017 Report Posted March 5, 2017 Have to disagree Elgin. I think Thistle will stick with style of play from previous games. They will keep it tight defensively and try to nick one on the break. Thistle will not be to disappointed with a reply either. Injuries are a concern as well. Bad feeling about this one. Oot Edinburgh Zoo with Bairn Pub near zoo Flat 0-0 Quote
Goldie03 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Posted March 5, 2017 It's a game that we should be winning but a combination of the pitch & enforced reshuffle of the team with injuries is going to make for an interesting game Thistle will be confident with their recent form and dons need to prove that Hamilton was a temporary blip A draw wouldn't surprise me...........
