Elgindon

In - Y Jimmys tombola finally comes up trumps 3 - 0 Dons Duk x2,Gueye

Trezeguet waiting in the wings if those ones fall through...

If were struggling for strikers,its worth a try.Him wriggling about the opp box might open things up for others

Prolific no 9s are like hens teeth as it is,let alone ones that will fit Jimmys style.Once/if Okkels gets up to speed,I might try Keskinen up front if all else fails

Seriously though,....hurry up n buy stuff min AFC

Yip,can't complain,timely tribute for JC at the game too Shame legendary Dons/City fan Jimmy,the bus,MacLean(died recently ) couldn't have been at the game on Saturday

Aye,no age. Took more stick than he deserved.

What about this angle?

Nae sure it was a corner turning performance,but at least weve got wacky Pape to entertain us meantime if not.

Oof,nae sure about that line up. Possibly Duk/Ambrose can rumble up the small Elgin defence,Rubezic for set pieces. Ah well

Ken.Not a Dandy enough Don to have the loyalty points, rarely at Borough Briggs to jump the queue there

Pape Habib back in the squad for tomorrow.On for 10 mins,quick hat trick,then keep him wrapped up for the St Mirren game

Elgin have a makeshift and small defence at present because half their back line are out.From what I saw last weekend they werent great but can play better.Front players were pretty useful,but Tobers and co should cope with them Oot In Elgin,but working Prediction - 0 - 3 Okkels,Duk,nisbet

Shinnies had a strained/gaunt look about him for most of the season.Possibly exerting himself more than he has in his tank,hence he's petered out the last couple of months? He'll need to manage his game time(and Nilsen),but I dont see anyone else in the squad yet, to step in and replace his drive and grit Not concerned about Thelin yet,but he probably needs to negotiate with his system meantime,until he thinks he has the players in place to get back to his preferred one

Deary me. Nite nite...

Duk and Dorrington on.Hopefully Nielsen or shinnie off

Some of our passing.... Need a bit of pace up front,Duk if nobody else..

Oot Watching at N'bours Weve enough individual quality in the side to do them some damage,but not been getting the formula right so far. I'll go for a surprise draw. 2 - 2 Keskinen,Nisbet

Played well,but took a knock in the first half,so guessing something to do with that After the first 20 mins,thought we became too ponderous and predictable,and disjointed as to who does what going forward.Wonder if the persistent knocking along the back,side to side has a knock on effect of slowing/dulling our thinking further forward. We're so unco-ordinated in attack. Theres still a few square pegs in round holes,and new players bedding in,but we should be better than we showed today

Should be ahead,but pretty poor fare so far.Tempo seems to have dropped. Clarkson and Nisbet off,Morris and Duk on to pick it up a bit

Lika a bottle around Pittodrie

Took in the Elgin game at Forfar today,before their game v some plucky minnows next week. What a great wee stadium at Station park.Old style,well maintained terraces with crush barriers.Pretty even first,with little goalmouth action.Much better in the second,a draw a fair result,but results eslewhere not going Citys way Fan frenzy after Citys goal

The Retard guy mentions that striker as an example of someone Thelin might look at,rather than having any insight

In - Y Nice to see Okkels on Sunday,but not sure how match fit he is. 7 games at PNE this season,of which some subs.Super sub cameo hopefully Prediction - chilly,..and a 2 - 2 draw. Nisbet,Duk
