manc_don Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Not many tickets left for this one apparently, so hopefully be close if not a complete sell out. They usually bring some fans along, but maybe the possibility of finishing above hearts will spur a few more. They’ll be buoyed by their win against saints but hopefully the boys realise what’s at stake. I’m sure Robson will have them fired up for this one. Our record against them at home is decent and enough, and we’ll put the last game between us as a Goodwin result. Not sure I’d make many if any changes for this one. Maybe duk just to give him a kick up the arse to take these chances he’s getting? He’s still raw and we’re seeing that over the last couple of games but feels like he’s been a little off the boil. out bed bed morning dad duty 1-0 Dons, clarkson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 From what I saw of Sunday’s game I thought Coulson struggled. Would be tempted to bring in Kennedy to play at right wing back. This is game we have to win to realistically have a chance of finish 3rd. Spoonburners I have been speaking to are starting to talk about catching Hearts and think they can win on Saturday. Could be a cracking game. Already had to rebook train due to LNER cancelling train so now on stupidly early train. Might be a messy day. In train then pub for opening Y pub then train 2-1 Miovski and Clarkson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 No tickets left in the Mainer,having to mingle with the great unwashed (section Y) Big crowd should work in our favour.Don't think the Hun result should have much affect on the players.Need to get at the Hibs defence early In - Y Pre/post - Driving Prediction - 3 - 1 Dons Miovski,Clarkson,Hayes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main preference is having Mcrorie back in but the club have been suspiciously tight lipped on what the story is there and I do wonder if we will see him in red again. I did find it interesting that Coulson was picked over Kennedy in the first place and was very surprised to see Coulson play rwb Not seen too much of hibs lately but did see the highlights against St Mirren. They look not bad going forward (though the St mirren defence helped them at every opportunity) but I can't see them getting more than one against our back line. Defensively they don't seem to be able to defend any kind of measured aerial ball. All St mirren chances came with either a cross or a dinked ball all over the defence for a striker to run onto. 2bh my first thought was Clarkson, Miovski and Duk will have a field day against this back line and that's what I think will probably happen. 3-0 dons Miovski, Duk and Pollock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the boil? Because he's gone two games (both v Rangers) without scoring, after scoring three in the previous two games? <Insert "not sure if serious" meme> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that if he has it now then he'll be able to pass a medical when the window opens. Fairly pragmatic from the club I suppose, and probably not something that you want to risk leaving too long if it can be avoided in case of further injury. Even if he's staying, it'd be just as beneficial for him not to miss any of pre season training here. Don't know the turnaround on a hernia, but probably safe to assume we won't see him again, and definitely not at Pittodrie. Coulson on his wrong foot gives me the fear, but at least it suggests that Kennedy won't be getting a new deal, which a miniscule part of me was still fearful of! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more a point about that he’s going to be a bit inconsistent as he’s still a raw talent. As I said, the only possible change I’d make, I’d be happy enough if it was unchanged. He’s set himself a very high bar in terms of performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrlandoDon Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 First little mini test for Robson, poor first half and st mirren doing their best to help us. Much better second half and a goal or two needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Very poor performance that was made worse by subs. Should have lost but scraped a draw. Only positive is Hearts didn’t gain any ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Yip,got away with a 0 - 0. We were frustrating to watch,just couldn't get into a rythym,whereas Hibs were slick and effective ,shoulda won by a couple.Duk was in discomfort from the first half and off the pace as a result,as were a few others. Got away with re Hearts,surely be a bit more disciplined next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 That was an impressively honking game of fitba. Turgid stuff. Difficult to pick a worst performer, but 5 or 6 made a good case for it today. Pollock and Coulson deserve special mentions, with Duk putting in a tremendous attempt too. Even Clarkson wasn't at the races today, and Duncan was poor, although senior players should be taking the responsibility with Ramadani showing his limitations as a footballer as well. Miovski was okay and Roos comfortably man of the match. The subs took things to a whole new level of shiteness, and showed extremely poor judgement. Dogshit like Markanday and Morris should be nowhere near our team, which they've proven already. Richardson was worse than Coulson at his worst, as expected. Bavidge should have been on, and Barron should have replaced Duncan with Clarkson moving forward. VAR once again wrecking football as a spectator sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordead Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Never seen the game. Was listening in and it sounded like Hibs were all over us. Yet again roos has come to the rescue. I've said it a few times now. We can't rely on a solid back line, world class saves and a duk miracle every week. The results that we were getting were excellent but the performance hasn't really been. That said, fair play to the boys at the back again. Scraping a valuable point.
