manc_don Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 Not the team we'd like to face after the surprise victory down at Fir Park, but we're always going to play them at some point. I really hope DM doesn't resort to type and try to contain them. It never, ever works. The team should go into this with confidence. Let them play! Out Bed bed bed 1-3, Hedges Quote
LA-Don Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 Celtic have not looked great this year and here we are again, despite injuries, if we have a go you never know. We had a go at Motherwell against an in form team above us in the league, why not have a go at home this weekend? We are not expected to get a result so why not have a go? (one of the reasons so many now dislike DM.) Anyway, we won’t have a go. 0-3. No scorer. Quote
Jute Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 Would love to think we would go at them like we went after Motherwell but just cannot see McInnes changing the habit of a life time and expect us to sit in with us inevitably losing when someone makes a mistake at the back. Not paying £50 for train so giving Sunday a miss might watch on tv. Oot Flat Flat Flat 0-3 no Dons scorer. Quote
manc_don Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Posted October 23, 2019 Saw a stat on twitter that we need to get 3 points from the next 2 games to avoid having the worst start under DM. But oddly enough, we win both and we actually got to having the best funny game, football. Quote
Elgindon Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 Deeks probably still recovering from the over positive performance at Fir Park.Be nice if it was a turning point for him but wont hold my breath A meek performance in a 1 - 4 defeat. Og for the Dons Quote

But oddly enough, we win both and we actually got to having the best funny game, football. Wouldn’t say that makes it a funny game, I’d suggest it shows how consistent we’ve been under McInnes. Quote
manc_don Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Posted October 23, 2019 Wouldn’t say that makes it a funny game, I’d suggest it shows how consistent we’ve been under McInnes. No, I meant more that this seasons has been perceived to be a terrible start to the season. Completely agree that it shows how consistent we've been. Quote
LA-Don Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 No, I meant more that this seasons has been perceived to be a terrible start to the season. Completely agree that it shows how consistent we've been. Win the next two we are 6-3-2, 21 points. Season 17-18 after 11 league games we were 8-2-1, 26 points. Season 15-16 after 11 league games 8-0-3, 24 points. Quote

Season 15-16 after 11 league games 8-0-3, 24 points. My bad, hadn't realised I'd missed the out one of when posting that. Regardless, we're almost on par with where we usually are. Quote
LA-Don Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 Realistically I think we will have 16 or 18 points after 11 games. Out of curiosity - 19-20 - 15 Points after 9 games 18-19 - 18 points 17-18 - 26 points 16-17 - 18 points 15-16 - 24 points 14-15 - 19 points 13-14 - 20 points Quote
TheDeeDon Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 We must be due a result against them so why not Sunday. 3-2 us Sam, Hedges and a Wilson screamer with the last minute of the game. I just hope we give our all and try and play football and forget about the usual containment which never works. Quote
BigAl Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 My bad, hadn't realised I'd missed the out one of when posting that. Regardless, we're almost on par with where we usually are. L.A beat me to it, but was about to highlight the error of your ways Manc. Season 15-16 was a crazy season, we had 24 points after 8 games, lost to Hibs in League Cup, proceeded to pick up only one point out of the next fifteen, go on a decent run of form and end the season with 3 points from the last 18 available. Crazy crazy stuff. Quote
Ten Caat Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 Aye I am confident we will get something out of the game on Sunday ana. Might even be the full 3 points. But Considine must not be played at left back....Forrester will tear him a new one. The only downside if we do win is that come season's end, we might find that those 3 points hugely contributed to helping sevco win their first ever league championship. I pray that doesn't happen.

ayrshire_don74 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 Mcpep has already stated that Leigh is Shinnie......... Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 May as well continue on from my negativity pre-Motherwell! That turned against me abruptly, fingers crossed for the same outcome. We will get pumped 3-0 and put up as meek a fight as you're likely to see COYR Quote
manc_don Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Posted October 24, 2019 Tims come back from behind to win. Hopefully they've exerted themselves and will be tired on Sunday Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 25, 2019 Report Posted October 25, 2019 I backed Lazio at 13/5 in-play midway through the first half so that result wasn't what I was looking for! But I'm not sure that they'll have any tiredness from over-exertion, rather the confidence they'll get from beating a Serie A side and the manner they did it will help them going forward. It's 11 v. 11 at the end of the day. Lazio are just above mid-table, as are Aberdeen. They've lost twice in their league. So have AFC. The likes of Hamilton, St Mirren, Livi etc. would tank the likes of Sampdoria, Genoa, Spal etc. because Scottish is better than eyetie so it'll be ok on Sunday. There's a flaw in that critical thinking path I feel. The assumption may be its weakness. Quote
Ten Caat Posted October 25, 2019 Report Posted October 25, 2019 I actually think Livi might have a bit of a chance at beating one of those sides at home. Purely on the strength of their pitch being the worst in the whole of Scotland. Of course they would ship 6 or 7 minimum in the return leg in Italy. Celtic winning was probably the best result for us. It isn't usual that they would lose 2 in a row no matter who the opponents were. I think theyve picked up a couple of injuries as well. Still confident we can get at least a point on Sunday. Quote

Play to our strengths and there's no reason why we couldn't get something from this. Feel oddly confident Quote

KennyFuckinPowers Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 Christie is suspended for them, only just realised this. Meaning that we'll likely see that prick Rogic take his place, and he loves a goal against us, sincerely hope we've learned to close him down FFS. In terms of ourselves, do we keep it as it was last week? It worked pretty well to be fair, or do we move Leigh back to LB and bring in Bryson? I actually thought Gallagher was effective last week as well and would like to see him keep his place, but I think Hedges could be useful in a game like this as well, it's really difficult. Lewis Logan Devlin McKenna Leigh Vyner Gallagher McGinn Bryson Wilson Cosgrove Sorry Considine, that'd be my preferred 11, I think Devlin & McKenna should remain as the CB duo and the thought of Considine again at LB, against Sinclair/Forrest/Elyouossi gives me the fear. As Livingston showed, and Hibs to an extent ( With their 1-1 draw with them ) they can certainly be beaten. We need to be right up for it, get in their faces and defend well, no silly mistakes, whilst at the same time, being effective at the top end of the pitch. Fucking hope we turn them over, 3 years without a win against them at Pittodrie I read earlier, not really good enough. Today is the day we change that! COYR Quote
DantheDon Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 This could be another tanking. Quote
Ten Caat Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 Half time and a tanking it is. We are so horrendously bad we might actually manage to take the heat off Southampton. This is us back to Magoo and Brown levels of shitness Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 Saw that shitebag of a manager running toward and down the tunnel there, sincerely hope he keeps running and ends up back in Paisley/Glasgow. Fucking disgrace. Quote
