Well so what, right now they are playing shite and whatever else you want to say about Aberdeen at the moment we defo have goals in us. Gvb is absolutely under pressure btw, the support hasn't fully turned on him yet but they ain't far off it.

It's hard not to feel some optimism about this trip to mordor given respective form of both teams.... and that's before you consider the horsing they are likely about to take in Naples. Heed first should be the attitude and if we can get the first goal I would strongly fancy us for the 3 points. Line up is a fairly straightforward bar one, Mackenzie would be right to be miffed if he is dropped for Coulson, but that aside same again you would think. 3-1 dons Miovski, Duk 2

On yourself Fergie

What I don't understand is why he doesn't have a phone strapped to his wrist and if they think he should rewatch something he stops play and watches it there and then.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63309192 Decent wee video on how they are going about it.

Var can't interfere with yellow cards unless they believe it should have been a red. I watched the game on redtv and just before it the put this on

What add on you using? I just searched bologna on mad titan sports and it came up no probs.

I'll be picking up coverage on kodi mate.

Can't see Goodwin straying from the back 3 without very good reason. We actually look reasonably solid again as a result of it. 4 games on the bounce without a goal for Miovski is it? I would agree, cr99 should be given a start otherwise what is the point in competition for places. He was impressive again when he came on, he did so well to get that volley on target from outside the box especially given his body position and hi as attitude to being dropped has been 1st class. One thing is for sure we are well due a result against this mob but it will be a very difficult game. 3-1 dons Lopes, cr99 and Miovski to give JG a massive headache for the next game.

Might stick that on actually

I think we all thought Miovski was probably going to be the best bit of business we had done in the summer but Lopes is defo giving me cause to reconsider that at the moment. I'm not saying that because BM is going through a dry patch either, Duk seems to have it all. Good on both feet, strong on the ball, very unpredictable, knows where the net is and a good burst of pace about him too. His attitude seems first class too, I was very impressed at how quickly he got in shape when he first arrived. He dropped half a stone easy in a fortnight. Suppose this is as good a time as any to give a first report card on the summer business. Coulson - big thumbs up Richardson - i don't think he's as bad as some make out but he's defo been shaky and pleased to see him taken out of the firing line. Another player I thought looked better with the back 3. Morris - did better against thistle but that wasn't difficult given how poor he's been and still not seeing why he's getting in ahead of Duncan. Besuijen - not technically a summer signing but worth including here I think. Defo had his moments and capable of something out of nothing but he needs to improve his consistency. Pass marks for sure though. Roos - seems solid enough, certainly not looking out of place Miovski - big thumbs up Clarkson - so far so good, not much yiu could fault about him all things considered. Stewart - good penalty box defender, only thing I've not liked about him is some of his distribution decision making. Scales - thumbs up, would be big if he wasn't on loan. Rama - big thumbs up, especially now he's playing as a 1 in front of defence. It really suits his game. Roberts - we likely won't be able to judge until after the WC

Actually Rico I thought this was Morris's first decent performance. For the first time he looked like he was playing for the team, his defensive discipline was excellent tonight and I felt contributed reasonably well. Also, he was unlucky when he was hauled back when about charge onto the ball on a promising counter that he had started. Not a chance in hell he should be starting ahead of Duncan though, what a prospect he is. Like, scary to think how good he could be prospect.

Goodwin confirms its a 3, Kennedy at rwb and vinnie in the middle.

I think it will be too.

I actually didn't think Richardson did so bad on Saturday, playing a bit further forward suits him perhaps. I'd love it if was a 442 2bh

Hard to say exactly how they will line up. Could be a 4 or 3 at the back. Rama could be playing in front of the defence solo or as a two with clarkson. Find out soon enough, glad Coulson is back.

Papped out by Killie in the cup. The potential for facing Mcinnes at hampden is on the cards.

I can understand the desire to stick with the 3 but I don't have a problem with rotating formations to suit the opponent. I believe Partick are fond of 1 up top so you can argue its the waste of a player in an extra CB. That depends on the CB's though and I think we are quite well placed to play a 3 against 1 up. Mcrorie and scales are both good on the ball and can pass and cross well so when playing against one up you can allow one of the CB's to break forward like Tierney does for Scotland to great effect. I know these two aren't of the same calibre as Tierney but a cb breaking forward usually causes havoc as teams struggle to pick them up.

Yeah I think if he was signing on he probably would have by now. He's contracted till 2024 so we will get something for him at least.

Just came to post this, 3-2 Napoli now.

And you too Al

He could have sat in the dugout tomorrow without fear regardless of the appeal. Sunday would have been a different story though

I've been watching a fair bit of serie a this season, Napoli are a hell of a team now. Kvaradona is taking all the headlines but victor osimhen is starting to get up to speed again after injury and he is such a fun player to watch. Napoli will hose the huns

October 21st sees it's introduction in the Scottish top flight. It's gonna be interesting to see just how the sfa/spfl completely fuck this up
