Arabs - Dons

[manc_don]

Big one coming up, arabs have had a reasonable season so far despite not scoring that many goals. Mulgrew seems to be quite important for them and they’re 6 points clear of us. we also need to get back to winning ways. The Motherwell game, whilst being a potential banana skin (and turning out to be so) was a disappointment as it was like the previous week had been forgotten. Not got our usual place in the shed but hopefully the noise will be decent enough from our fans.

hibs (level on points but just above us) have two games on us so we need to try and claw some ground as they’ll likely get four points from those fixtures. And that’s forgetting the number of teams below us who are on level points or within spitting distance of us. Pressure is most definitely on. Motherwell on 18 points are just above hibs. Don’t think we can really look up the league table yet.

Not sure where we are on the injury front but would hope no one picked up an additional injury during the break.

I’d rather we have a shitty performance and win than dominate, look good, but lose. Mr Glass, you are threatening my sobriety!

Heading to AA meeting

Returning

1-0 United

[Elgindon]

Could go either way, both sides blowing hot and cold.Youd hope weve been working on our defensive frailties...

In or Oot - Was In,but change of plans

Pre/post - Elgin/Lossiemouth

Prediction - Utd 1 - Dons 3 (Ramirez,Hedges x2)...can but hope

Hopefully Glass has been using the international break to work with the defenders on improving the defensive side of the game. Need to start winning to get season back on track. Arabs seem to have lost form of late and will be looking for a win to stop the rot. Usually when both teams need to win a draw is the end result.

Big match this, wish I could go.  Got a feeling it might get a wee bit feisty which would be great.   I think if we score first and early it would a really good day for us 

 

3-1 dons

Just noticed Ferguson is suspended for this one. Assuming he will be replaced by Longstaff. Changing thoughts on scorer to Hedges.

Hope you make a quick recovery missus.

Couldn't really care what the score is as long as we beat these coat tail hangers on.

Always have been and always will be in our shadow.

If you can’t taste then you just buy the cheap strong stuff and pretend it’s a Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.

That team gives me the fear. Really hope I am wrong but got a feeling this could be a doing.

Nailed it.

Pretty insipid stuff today. Never looked like scoring. Another winnable game lost despite having the ball for most of it.

[tom_widdows]

Soooo........

Next time Dons get points on the board should be 18th December

[sancho_panza]

Similar story to many games this season, loads of possession without creating anything and rubbish defending at the other end. People will say it's unlucky but toothless possession and bad defending isn't a good combination.

At no point today did we get in behind. It's all too predictable.

We have nobody that you think will beat a man or created a goal .

Hedges is a total fraud this season. Gets the ball, runs across the length of the pitch because he's on the wrong side and inevitably hopes for a foul or hits the corner flag with an awful finish.

Hard to take any real positives from this, other than that we have so many defenders out that it can only improve.

[ayrshire_don74]

hopeless and horrendous signings like longstaff and jenks taking their toll , might not have any defenders v celtic next week expect a 7/8 nil scudding 

[tlg1903]

Think you're being a bit harsh,  especially given our defensive woes.  There is absolutely no way we deserved to lose that and ojo's sending off was an utter disgrace.

And you must be in your element to get your chance to moan yet again.

Perfectly valid points TLG made but hey ho when you have a  agenda you don't give a flying fuck.

On separate issue reckon the zoomers from the chat will be giving the DAB  a bit of a slap.

[ayrshire_don74]

signings are exposing us plays a team with no defensive cover on bench and 2 loan signings who  are utter garbage , shambles

Is it harsh though. Glass has put together a very unbalanced squad packed with defensive midfielders, gave a contract to a defender who is perma crocked and signed some right dross on loan and permanently. We have defensive woes because we do not have the correct balance in the squad. We did not look like winning at anytime today. It was another shite performance.

A week of half decent results doesn’t “glass” over the fact that we’re still as shite as we were following Watkins injury a year ago.
