Since having a rogue apostrophe on the home side and stated date appeared to serve us well this last weekend, thought I'd give it a go for this next week. This game is massively important to our season because we need:

1) to see if we've finally turned the corner and

2) to keep another top 6 candidate at bay.

There've been a few murmurings in the press again signalling that McInnes should be a hun soon. It was odd, as they essentially were saying he should steady the ship and they should get someone else in after that  Great vote of confidence that.

Anyway, we've got a few more players available and I thought from the 20min highlights I saw, we looked reasonable in attack, albeit a bit wasteful, but still looked vulnerable at the back. So we're far from being out the woods yet. I'd be keen to see Nisbet and PHG keep their places, in fact, pretty much that starting XI could stay as I think they've probably earnt it.  Killie haven't won away from home in the league since the end of October, so we shouldn't lack confidence, despite their win against the tractor saints on the weekend.

I'll let Panda come up with the team graphics 👍

Out

2-1 Dons, Nilsen and Nisbet

Still a lovely strike though.  Hopefully a sign of things to come from Okkels

Gueye is very easily beaten in the air for such a tall looking guy 🙄

We need to up our game in the second half or by mid week we will find ourselves in fifth place.

Scrappy half. Probably just shading it physically. Can't complain about the VAR.

Lead up to the penalty claim was a bit messy. I don't like when mitov has decisions to make.

Yip,Gueye been off the pace/lazy so far ,needs to up his game or get hooked early.Been a number of times we've taken the sting out our own attack by turning sideways,over passing.

Less said about the ref...

Clarkson and dabbagh for gueye and nisbet please. A little worried about palaversa on a yellow, maybe shinnie too.

Wouldn't disagree with any of that O.D. 👍

Also if McKenzie is fucked, switch Jensen and stick on Devlin.

I have a bet on Okkels to score the first goal, so of course it was ruled out.

Nisbet and Gueye appear to be the link-up men with Topi and Okkels the guys expected to score. Would like to see Mackenzie and Jensen get the ball in the final third though.

Edit: Devlin and Jensen, since Mackenzie has just gone off.

Gueye is probably holding back a bit because every time he gets near the ball the ref blows for a foul.

Jensen committed a foul being overly physical. Just wanted to highlight that!

Clarkson and dabbagh asap please, it’s not working. Give them 30 mins to have an impact.

Shinnie to left back and Jensen back right??

Thought you were boycotting this thread 🤔

Was it only the first page you meant 

Not looking beyond this game, but a worry if Devlin and Mackenzie both doubts for Tuesday.

Forgot Shinnie could play left-back though. See how he gets on there for the next 25 minutes.

Turned into a very stop start ugly scrap. Need to get it down and play.

In terms of our season, the last twenty minutes are absolutely massive.

 

Nisbet must absolutely hate that fecking post.

Oday........ 

Get in there

Killieeee Don't Like It

1-0 the Dabbagh

Fecking huge goal for us.

Forget the rest of time added on.

Just blow now 

ffs how many mins has he added here

 

Yeeeeeesssss

Dare I say we look like early season dons?

Much as I was critical during the game and felt extremely justified in being so, fair play we really stepped it up in the last twenty and over the piece I'm not sure many could begrudge us that result.

Onwards to the East End of Weegieland
