  1. Oh FFS. oops if we play 3 at the back then Hayes is better suited to wing back. MacKenzie a good left back but not so good going forward. And take out Ferguson (assuming he’s being sold)
  2. Lewis McCrorie Gallagher Bates Ramsay Ferguson Brown Longstaff Hayes Hedges Ramirez Watkins That back 3 is all right sided though.
  3. Gallagher on for Ojo & push McCrorie up. Hedges on for JET.
  4. He’s gone - Hamilton, permanent deal.
  5. 0-2 Hacken. We’re simply not ready and are massively under prepared having had two low-key training matches.
  6. What worries me about big Joe is if Glass insists on him playing out from the back, clipping 40 yard diagonals to the pushed up full backs. He’s not capable.
  7. Lewis will carry on representing the club at community events etc. He’ll be better at that.
  8. Aye. Dons 0-1 Hacken Hacken 2-1 Dons And slightly off topic, what’s the plan if McCrorie or Considine get injured?
  9. All I think it’ll do is make home teams more attacking as there’s not the threat of the away goal. But away teams will be more defensive-minded with no “extra” benefit of scoring away from home.
  10. I don’t think inter-squad games are played at anything like the intensity required. We really did end up with a shitty draw compared to Hibs who have an ideal draw, a virtual bye & match practice. I appreciate the clubs caution, but 2 kickabouts won’t be enough
  11. The tie gets smellier & more precarious by the week. 40/60 against I’d say, given our complete lack of preparation
  12. I agree. Almost as baffling as offering Mikey Devlin a contract .
  13. Broke his wrist signing that ridiculous contract we are offering him. Bin it, release him, replace him
  14. Inauspicious start today. 1-1 @ Cormack Park v Inverness JET scored our goal
  15. The more I think about it, the more I understand the caution. When you look around the sporting world, you see various teams being affected. Ross County are shut down. Lions rugby game postponed Engkand cricket team naming an entirely new squad for an ODI v Sri Lanka.
  16. Yeh I can understand it. Damned if you do (play more games & increase risk), & damned if you don’t (go in very unprepared & a decent chance of defeat with the inevitable barrage of criticism that’ll go with it). Even the 3rd game would’ve made a difference, & they wasn’t the clubs fault. in an ideal “normal” world, 4 games would’ve been about right, working up through levels of opposition. As I said, a new team, underprepared, against an improving Swedish team in mid-season… wouldn’t be surprised if we’re out.
  17. Better than your BBC pieces ? Back on point, 2 games is nowhere near enough preparation for a 50/50 tie against a fully fit, mid-season, Swedish team. Wouldn’t surprise me if we got knocked out.
  18. I’d say it’s a 50/50 tie in the circumstances. Our lack of football, with half a new team, makes it really tricky. So much for this new tournament being a bit “easier” for opposition, it looks the same as the Europa League.
  19. Particularly as we’ll have played two pre season friendlies only. Not near enough
  20. I imagine it’ll be 45 in one game & 45 in the other.
  21. Is it not within the rules of the Aberdeenshire Cup it has to be the youths?
  22. That’ll be a young Dons team, not first team
