Our crappy start to the season might be a blessing in disguise....

Looks like Debbie Harry wearing a Dons top from the same era? Nae sure why though.... Just back......the day it all clicked(I hope).As others said,had concerns pre match when i heard the line -up,but neednt have worried,we should probably have had a couple of goals before we got the pen.Started raining goals after that,til we took our foot off the peddle second half. Solid team performance,and a few great individual performances,the stand out for me being Gyamfi.Good defensively,and very good going forward.Aouchiche(sighed when I saw his name) had a surprisingly good game,and Shinnie,who I thought was the heartbeat of the side. Milne,Karlsson and Armstrong all good.Jensen better,but still has an annoying habit of taking the safe option,maybe a confidence thing. Pleased for Jimmy T,monkey off his back

So I phoned them up for an explanation.Games are charged in low/ high category.Apparently the Falkirk game was low (£26),and the Dundee one higher?? (£29).They also added on a £2.50 fee for picking the ticket up at the Merkland kiosk(wasnt a thing last season)

Its a disappointing start,..but with our groomers??

Prices been hiked at Pittodrie recently?.Just paid £31.50 the now for practically the same seat on section Y as a month ago,which cost £26. Extra levy for watching the Dundee Dynamos?

The 60mph winds should make for an interesting spectacle.....

In - Y Not sure what style of football Dundee are playing under Pressley,but they seem to have stabilised a bit recently(W1,D3,L2).If we can bring second half v Shaktar into this game,get an early goal,.....and then the confidence to get a few more... Shitty weather easing off by kick off Dons 3 - Dees 1 Lazetic,Nisbet x2

Just back fae Rum,first visit.Dolphins,Whales and Eagles within the first couple of hours over.Its a rough,often wet island though.Veered between shite and fantastic during the time there.Trench foot aside,highlight(on the one fairweather day) was the coastal path from Kinloch to Dilbidil bothy on the East coast. https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/islands/dibidil.shtml

^^^Thats embarassing

A frustrating watch in the first half,could barely get near the ball,...or lost it when we had it.Much better in the second when we moved it about quickly with intent. Milne,Lazetic and Devlin all good.Hopefully fired us up for the Dungdee game

I was foolish

Cmon 'en Jim,enough of the bufty,shot shy performances.Season turns round here... 3 - 4 Dons Lazetic x3,Nisbet .COYR

Not sure how much its I cant be arsed with another new manager,or the fact he appears to be an intelligent man,and you'd hope he's going to eventually work out what he needs to change, .....is why I'd persist til Xmas and review. The glimmer of hope is that the Elfsborg fans were questioning him into season 2,before he got them going,..and bearing in mind its only a game or 2 that some of the players have been getting used to each other.

Am away this weekend,and going by ticket sales a large chunk of the home support look like they will be too. Hope for Thelins sake we find a formation that works.Luck must be due a change soon 3 - 0 Dons. Karlsson x2,Milanovic
