ECL - Dons B vs Frankfurt B

[manc_don]

Final European outing of the season. Mixed emotions for this one. Could and really should have been a dead rubber for the right reasons, but we are where we are. I really don’t expect us to put out a first team for this one, and if we do, well , that’s just lunacy. Cup final on the weekend has to be our priority so who knows, we may even see Dadia

be nice for a few more youngsters to get a taste of euro football, especially when there’s no pressure on. A win would be good for the bank balance but is it worth the cup final? No. Will we try a different formation?

3-0 Frankfurt, no dons scorer

Fair play to the club for getting idiots like me to buy tickets for this pish way in advance.

I have train tickets but didn’t buy a match ticket. Might just head up and sit in pub.

I would start Duk and Sokler and let them believe they're fighting it out for a cup final place.

Would like to see MacDonald get more minutes with a view to starting the final.

Shinnie, Clarkson, McGrath, Devlin and Miovski all wrapped in cotton wool. Suspect Barron will start. Polvara too.

I'd even keep Roos on the bench to save him from injury.

They pumped Bayern 5-1 on Saturday. Only raise their against the men from Munich clearly.

[RicoS321]

I think we should look to bring Duff and Young out of retirement for this one. Duff was an underrated centre half.

 

[SeeBass]

So are we going with Doohan, Milne, MacDonald, MacKenzie, Morris, Barron, Polvara, Duncan, Hayes, Sokler, Gueye as a starting XI?

 

3-2 Aberdeen.

MacKenzie said at weekend he would be out for a while yet.

Sounds like there is a marriage made in heaven there for you two 

[SeeBass]

Just thought.  Is this the first time since squad numbers were introduced that we don't have a No.1 jersey whether for a keeper or otherwise?

In fairness Rico, I find myself in exactly the same boat having bought a three match ticket,. The difference between us is that I have around a seven hour drive there and back

[Jute]

Picked up a couple of freebies tonight so going to head along. Assuming we will be putting out none of the players. Who will play on Sunday or that played last night. Expecting Frankfurt to put out a weakened side as well but to still beat us comfortably. Fair number of Frankfurt fans on the train up who don’t have tickets. Shame they can’t see the game as would have created an atmosphere and made us extra cash.

3-1 Barron with dons consolation goal. 

[RicoS321]

Strong team out.....

Stayed at home.

[Slim]

Is that a 541 with Milne and McGarry at full back and Morris and Duncan on the wings? Or 451 with Gartenminmin at RB and Milne in midfield (or even vice versa)? Not sure anyone in that line up can play on the left of a back 3.

[BigAl]

Fifteen minutes to kick off and Pittodrie is like a morgue

Wow, people arrive fifteen minutes before kick off? 

[Elgindon]

Must have seen the line up.Almost worth going(im not) to get a glimpse of Dadia.

    Interesting to watch how good or shite this line up performs.

    Prediction 1 - 5 the furters 

[Panda]

Stephen Craigan sounds angry that he's being paid to watch this game.

Hopefully he requests never to do an Aberdeen game again.

Duuuuk

[Kowalski]

Great cross from one of the worst players ever to play for us.

How dare you! Morris is pure quality!

[Kowalski]

Great finish for the second goal. 
But just before it, it looked like a pen to me - let down by VAR yet again!

[Elgindon]

3 minutes to lose 3 goals

[RicoS321]

Does anyone want my ticket for the Frankfurt game? Unused.

[manc_don]

Great ball from Polvara and beautiful finish from Sokler to do it justice. At least we get a win bonus, but very much a what could have been campaign imo. Now if we could repeat this on Sunday...
