Panda Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) As of two days ago there were only 2500 tickets left. Possibility of our first sell out since Boxing Day 2018 v Celtic. Shinnie unlikely to win his appeal. Ramadani presumably back from flu. Rangers have a fair few players missing. Goldson, Kent, Jack, Wright, Colak, Yilmaz, King, Roofe, Lawrence, Davis, Helander. Good time to get them. The title is gone and they're not quite on it, they'll drop a few points from now until the end of the season. St Mirren certainly caused them problems last week. They'll have one eye potentially on the Hampden semi with Celtic too which is - let's be hugely disrespectful but honest here - the cup final. I think Hearts, Hibs and St Mirren might all win on Saturday which would put the pressure on us a bit, so we could do with at least taking a point, and I think that's what we'll get. A 1-1 draw I reckon. Edited April 17, 2023 by Panda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlg1903 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Could be cracker this one but not convinced it's a good time to get them. They will be well up for it with several places in the starting 11 for the semi up for grabs. That said we will be well up for it too, I doubt anyone who played in the last home game against them will need much in the way of motivating words from the manager. Not expecting much from the Shinnie appeal so hopefully rama is fit and available as we are a bit screwed if he's not. Impossible to predict without knowing who will be in midfield but I am hopeful of a result and wouldn't take a draw if offered just now. They are defo beatable so I'm going to say 2-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 No Shinnie means we will have to make changes. Hopefully Ramandani is back from illness. I would think we will need to move McCrorie into middle beside Ramandani and Clarkson and play Kennedy at right wing back. Duncan has played well but think we will need more strength against them in midfield. Bad feeling about this one. In Train then pub Y Pub then train 0-1 No dons scorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I wish this game was today. Getting quietly (and probably stupidly) excited. Would be happy with a draw but fuck it, we’re at home and haven’t beaten them there since that maddy free kick. Which is pathetic in itself, so we need to get that sorted. out bed bed work 2-1 dons, miovski and hayes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I don't have an awful feeling about this one though if Shinnie was playing I would be quite confident. This is a massive game for Rama and if he plays well we have a good chance to cause them problems. I do have some time for jutes suggestion of moving Mcrorie to midfield but it's hard to predict how Robson will approach this. It's a bold move to change a defence that hasn't conceded since a penalty away to utd. Der hun have their injuries as well but I have been depressingly impressed with how they have been progressing under beale and this will be a tough game. Goldson still out is good for us though and I do think we will score. 1-0 miovski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordead Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 As I said last week. I think we've rode out luck a bit in recent weeks. Hopefully the last ditch tackles and saves can continue but I've got a lurking feeling that our lack of quality might well bite us as we spend the game on the 18yd line. That said if we break away and duk does duk stuff. We might scrape another victory. Hard to call 1-0 us or a doing, It's one of those.

redordead Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Our passing is atrocious. That said, we've survived that half ( just ) Do we have a go second half or expect more of the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Pfft,did well to get to H/T at 0 - 0. 80% posession to them.Hope Barrys got a plan B second half.A bit of composure,stringing passes together might help. Duncan off,Coulson or Barron on? Edited April 23, 2023 by Elgindon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 We tightened up towards the end of the half but our distribution has been poor, even allowing for a rangers team that is pressing well (even morelos ffs, never seen him work so hard for a team) it's been poor. Love how solid we are though, scales is having his best game for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Brilliant result, fantastic second half performance. Scales was immense today, won absolutely everything, and an amazing deliberate strike for the goal. The front three were poor in the first half, but Duncan and Miovski obviously took the half time team talk to heart as they put themselves about so well in that second period. There was obviously an emphasis on putting pressure on their fullbacks too, with Hayes and McRorie playing much higher which just got us up the pitch and allowed the front players to play. Duk was fairly pish today, but wasn't required! Ramadani did brilliantly and Clarkson is just a phenomenal footballer. Roos' saves also top drawer, he did magnificently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Didnt see that coming at H/T,what a second half,what a result.Was still twitching with 5 to go,waiting for the dodgy penalty or something but didnt happen.Sets us up nicely for 3rd spot,and its financial rewards.Also hearing that we're in negotiations with Bristol regards a £2m deal for McRorie,who I like,but we'd be mad not too accept that sort of money.Great end to the weekend Edited April 23, 2023 by Elgindon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordead Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Back 5 outstanding last minute defending again. Took it to them second half. Had a couple of scares but thought we generally looked most likely. Lucky or good, Baz has exceeded his remit. I think the board will still hang on until the end of the season but hard to argue against him now. It's maybe not pretty but nobody can deny the change in effort and commitment to his cause from the squad. Biggest plus though.. hearts will be fucking gutted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie03 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I thought the team spirit was absolutely tremendous today, what a result, and even tho 8 mins injury time with that defence defo did not have the same feeling as last game that we were ever gonna concede!! That was a fantastic response to Hearts scoring for too many goals yesterday!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just clicked on your clip without scrolling down, and wondered why the commentators were so subdued until I realised where source was from. Not really been a fan of Scales until today...he was like a ballerina at times, definitely my MoM. Apparently we had 25% possession...but especially in the 2nd half most of their possession was because we pressed them higher up the pitch. We also had couple of good chances to put the game to bed, much clearer chances than they created with all their possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just constantly gifted it away. I was losing the plot with him. Second half he improved a lot, and with that we made less mistakes and were able to impose ourselves on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I got up this morning and checked the score. I have to say that the scoreline did not surprise me. Barry Robson has brought steeliness to the team and even though we played shite first half we never looked like a team that would be overalled like we have in the past. Hearing the fans singing Standfree with it swirling around the ground gave me goosebumps. Well done to the support, they were well up for it.
