Dons vs Ayrshire huns

[manc_don]

Hard to judge killie at the moment. Pumped the arabs (who sit above them still) but have by and large been pish. We should be fine, given our recent upturn in form, we should have enough to take the 3 points providing logical team selections.

killie haven’t won at pittodrie for almost two years , and prior to that you had to go back to 2012.

not sure if Mains return from injury has been hampered?

2-0 dons, McCrorie and wright

Fairly sure Main is now fully fit, just lacking match sharpness. But also fairly sure that Watkins is for now considered first choice striker, Interesting to see what happens when Cosgrove eventually returns.

International break probably not come at a good time for us. Just starting to play well and get a bit of momentum. Hopefully all players involved don't pick up injuries whilst away.

Confident we will continue our good run anyway

3-1 (Watkins, Hedges, Hoban)

[Jute]

McInnes said we have 7 players away with various international squads. Need them to all come back fit. As TC says above International break come at the wrong time for us as we were beginning to build momentum. 

[manc_don]

So have they confirmed that there are to be no fans at this now? I’ve not really kept up to date with it all at the mo. Interesting to see if mr Bryson turns out for them.

Have they? I'm not seeing anything in the news. Where are you seeing that? Has Bryson actually signed for them like?

[Ten Caat]

I don't think Killie will go near him now. Just too injury prone, they cant be paying a relatively high wage for a player who looks like he will only be available for half of the matches each season. And playing on their artificial surface would likely only exacerbate this.

I actually think he has a player/coach or player/manager position somewhere in the west/south west of Scotland lined up. Ayr/Morton/Stranraer or the likes.

Test events still going ahead but prospect of fans being allowed back to all grounds delayed until 5th October at the earliest

Don't bet against him turning up at Fir Park on a short term deal 

[Elgindon]

Hopefully he sticks with the 3-4-2-1 for a good run of games.Happy to allow the loss of a couple of games if the signs are good,and football less eye watering.

  Reasonable record against Killie i think. 4 - 1 Dons - Hayes,McGinn,Watkins x2

[Ten Caat]

4/5 with Ladbrokes...boosted to 5/6. I wasn't missing that.

Best news we could have hoped for I suppose. 

Hopefully the international break hasn’t stopped the potential green shoots of good football shown pre break.

[TheDeeDon]

Back to proper fit a today and see us keeping up the winning streak.

1-0 Hayes

[tup1]

Need to watch Kabamba. He looks a good player.

[scotfree]

I can see it being a 1-0 game. Us our them, I'm not sure. 

[Jute]

Home game so should be looking to take game to Killie and let them worry about we will do to them. Always feel you don’t change a winning team if everyone is fit.

When was the last time that happened?

 

Bobby Clark and Joe Harper on with Rob McLean on Red TV....marvellous!

[Madbadteacher]

We scored?

 

any live chat, link?

[Elgindon]

McRorie scored assisted by Wright  

[Jute]

McCrorie scores. Nice finish after some nice football. We might actually be enjoyable to watch if we keep this up.

[LA-Don]

That drives me nuts. Unintentional handball from the Killie forward 30 yards from goal, ball bounces up from his poor control and hits his hand, free kick. Not much different to the ball bouncing up in the Killie box off a defender and hitting his hand 10 mins ago, no free kick. Explain...

[Elgindon]

Nervy ending but a tidy 3 points,and much more pleasing on the eye

[LA-Don]

Good win, but I think we made it harder than it needed to be. Would have liked to see us push on more and get the 2nd, almost like we played counter attacking football at home to Killie. Still, another win and another shutout!

[TheDeeDon]

Another win under our belts, can't ask for more than that.
