Guessing Jensen at right back and MacKenzie at left back. Not been impressed with Jensen so far but maybe better on his correct side. Could be a 2 up front but guessing it will be Gueye in 10 role with Nisbet as lone striker.

See sitting waiting for your child to do dancing on a Friday night is a bad thing because you sit bored browsing your phone and you suddenly find yourself booking a train to Aberdeen on Sunday. So In Train then dash to ground Y pub then then train at some point back to Capital. 3-0 Nisbet, Morris and Keskinen.

Some game between Sydney and Western Sydney Wanders. WSW were 3-1 up with 3 minutes left and Sydney manged to draw 3-3.

I am weak what can I say however on this occasion getting the only train up for kick off is a pain in the arse and I hate buses so might actually stick to it on this occasion.

Still to decide if I am going to bother with this one. Last Saturday’s meek surrender has me wondering if I might just make it season ticket games only until end of season. As for team I have to agree with Rico on MacKenzie. Has to start as he is our best option there. I thought Jensen looked weak in tackle and uncomfortable at left back. Not sure I would even play him at right back after last weeks showing. If this was a league game I would not be starting Knoester as he has hardly played since last season so will be well short of match sharpness but as its cup against lower league opposition it is probably an ideal game to get some minutes in his legs. Again as it is lower league opposition I would start Morris on the right and Keskinen on the left. Upfront I would to go with Nisbet. Gueye has not looked like a number 9 when I have seen him. Ambrose hasn’t looked like a professional footballer. Pars have improved slightly under new manager but still look shite. We should be winning this comfortably even in the form we are in. 3-0 Nisbet, Morris and Keskinen.

For those of to tight to pay what does article say.

Cannot find the article I was reading earlier but it was saying 9 academy players from St Johnstone, Dundee, Celtic Hibs, Dundee United and Dons all went this window.

Reading club statement I think it reads like he is here to go into first team squad. Hartley said a couple of weeks back that losing Emsile and Marshall back to Aberdeen was his biggest concern for the window so assuming he was doing well. Had considered heading to Livingston v Cove cup game on Saturday to see how they were getting on. Actually that’s a point he played for Cove in pervious rounds so is cup tied for Sunday.

Rico is probably having a rage induced fit at this very moment. Obviously needs updated to remove Duk and include Dabbagh.

Defender and striker are both left footed:.

Going to become a waste of time clubs in Scotland developing young players. Even Victims cannot hang on to young players with 18 year old striker Cummings allegedly going to West Ham.

Lost his place to former Aberdeen legend Gatenmann. Hardly kicked a ball since the summer. At least he he is left sided.

My brother who is season ticket holder at Dens has suggested him training with the reserves and not kicking a ball from now until end of the season would be his preferred option.

Lyall Cameron’s not coming then. Another to file under dirty Hun Cunt

Funny one of Hunbos in my work said this morning that he thinks that’s a sign of them selling Penrice in the summer.

So just to clarify we are all agreed he needs to be left footed.

Hearts allegedly signing Harry Milne from Partick. Again apologies for the source. Vaguely remember we kicked the tires on him when he was at Cove. Decent left back and might have made a good replacement for Mackenzie in the summer.

Still think he would be a better option for the 10 to 15 minutes at the end of games that Ambrose gets. Admittedly a traffic cone is probably a better option than Ambrose. Boyd does look lightweight but he did last season and still managed to score. I would like to have seen him played or put on loan to league 2 side at least.

Boyd’s lack of game time has been puzzling to say the least. Looked decent when he got on last season but not been given any time this season which cannot be helping his development. If there is no intention of giving him game time here surely we should have put him out on loan to get him game time.

My biggest frustration with Palaversa is the number of times he gives the ball away. Any pass over 10m is a gamble. Jury’s out on him for me. Don’t agree the signings have crap since McInnes. We have probably had a slightly above average hit rate and made a fair profit over last few years. Agree with rest of Rico’s assessments other than Ambrose. I don’t think he has been that good. Nisbet is biggest disappointment for me. Thought as long as we got him fit he would score goals for us but it’s just not worked for whatever reason. Part of it is lack of supply/him not fitting the style of play. He kept coming deep yesterday to get the ball and not mobile enough to then get into the box. Even when he did Ambrose was usually in his way.

Might have scored a goal by the summer.

Think that was touted as the buyout clause when Juventus were interested prior to him getting injured first time.

That rings a bell. I know we were definitely in the stand behind the goal when Paterson was in charge so must be prior to that.

Sadly don’t think we will see terraces like that return. Safe standing areas just are not the same.
