A match, a month ago I wouldn't have been concerned about at all, but since then have every reason to be concerned about which team turn up. On our day, we've shown we can beat Celtic, no bother, but that team only started to appear for 20 mins during the Motherwell game. We really need the team to turn up for the full 90, McInnes to play our best side and bring on the right substitutions in this one. We've got a packed out allocation as is usual for this fixture and the team know they'll have their backing. If none of the above happened, I fear the worst. It will be down to Ward to keep the score respectable.
In / Out: Out
Pre matcher: Sorting out my Halloween costume
Match: Flat watching the game on TV
Post matcher: Flat, hopefully seeing the convicts getting humiliated and their egos smashed.
Prediction: Dhims 2 - Dons 2, Shinnie
Ward
Logan / Quinn / Considine / Shinnie
McGinn / Jack / Flood / Hayes
McLean
Rooney
Not particularly happy about putting Flood in but Pawlett and McLean don't appear to be able to play together. I'd also much prefer Shinnie at Left back because I do not rate Considine there. Recent games showed he had defaulted back to his bomb scare self and playing suicidal back passes and cross field passes (yes i'm aware of what he did last season). At least if Quinn is playing he might be able to mop up some of Floods inevitable mistakes.
I think i'd also like to see Smith get a run out from the bench in this one.
COYR, let's get right into these pricks.
