Another Saturday 3 pm kick-off beckons for the Dons as they travel to deepest, darkest Ayrshire to take on struggling Kilmarnock on the 31st January.

Kilmarnock have Neil McCann at the wheel (at the time of writing) and have only won twice in the league all season. We have beaten them twice already, although we were lucky in both games.

Maybe it's unfounded optimism on my part after today, but I fancy us to cuff them 3-0.

This is Jess, named after the Hun hammer 

 

If we’re doing dogs, meet Lyra.

surely you meant your lead 😉

Just to stop us all barking up the wrong tree.
let's lead this thread back on track.

Match day is almost here, another sell out traveling support, highlighting once again that we have the best support in Scotland without a doubt.

Still confident of picking up all three points here and Nisbet bagging a hattrick.

Anyone heard any update on the injury that kept Liam Morrison out of the squad last week, is he fit enough for his dons debut tomorrow and fit aboot Afeez Heed will he be getting stuck in aboot as well?

This is the best match thread ever!!   More dogs! 

 

Here's mine, his name was Wyvis and sadly he passed away a year and half ago.  I'm still broken by it 😞. Also he was an Alaskan Malamute not a fucking husky 🤣🤣🤣 (used to do my head in when people called him a husky)

He looks a topper mate 👍

So sorry to hear that he passed over the rainbow bridge. People that don't understand the real bond between a human and their dog often think they are being helpful and react by saying "Aye, but you'll get another dog" whilst not understanding you haven't lost a dog but a family member.

Eighteen months is about the time we waited between losing our lovely cross collie/lab and getting our black lab. He'll be twelve this year and already I worry about how I'm going to cope when he passes. As I run my business from my home office, he spends every day in my company.

Thanks Al.  The only thing we can't protect them from is time.  7 out of the 10 years I had Wyv I was able to have him with me whilst working.  Thankfully one of those years was the last one and we were rarely apart for more than a few hours in his final year.  I would genuinely crawl over a mile of broken glass for my now friend Ruth who gave me the job that allowed that to happen. 

Personally I would only take on another dog if I was doing it with the right person and they were OK with that dog being a Mal.  

 

We should probably start a dog's/pets thread in off topic come to think of it. 

You could call it DogsTalk.

Well we're going to have to now! 

Well this is fairly indicative of the levels of excitement that a game in Killie brings 😆. I’m going to put up pictures of my wee nutter of a cat 😆

Someone had better try and retriever this thread from really going to the dogs and get it back on track.

We expecting some changes by Lutz today?

Clearly a change at the back needed and doubtful he will drop Mitov, which I have read elsewhere, can't see too many other changes.

Hopefully our wide players can get onto the ball and whippet into the box for Nisbet to do his business and give us the lead.

I can’t see anything other than a comfortable victory today, continuing on a long run. 
We’re going to winalot 

With run of games coming up this is one we need to be winning. Would expect Morrison coming in for suspended Milne to be only change from last week. Kilmarnock look as bad or even worse than Livingston although the lad Curtis from Tribute Act looks decent and might cause us some issues. Out again today as just cannot be arsed with public transport to Kilmarnock. Quicker they are relegated with their plastic pitch the better.

2-0 Nisbet double.

Into the pseudo hun cunts. We really should be sweeping this team aside but could see it being just the 2 (that’ll do).

See they have made a permanent signing of some forward from Man Utd who appears to have scored seven career goals whilst out on loan at various lower league English clubs.

Anyone else see how this is going to pan out 🙄

Should be though?

We've proven to be not much better at times, this season.

A team on a bad losing run, facing us, always give me the fear.

The new boy sounds like what we need, a wee terrier, somone to hound the opponents.3 points today are Mastiff

Oot -  Killie 0 - Dons 3  Nisbet x2,Bilalovic

I just hope we're good boys and we don't roll over.

I hope you're right and we're not left looking like pedigree chumps.

 

 

A result similar to the Rovers game would be a treat

Big game, although aren’t they all. All teams directly above us have interesting games. Morherwell are at livi and you’d expect an reaction from livi after last week, plus hibs and falkirk playing the ugly sisters. Could get closer to all 3 this weekend with a win.

hope we see more wing/wide play, last week we showed how effective we can be with width. Want to see more from bilalovic and devlin, plus topi and frame have to prove last week wasn’t a one off. Last weeks result was hopefully a shot in the arm for players and fans alike, expectations are high, while killie are poor. We’ve had a full week of training too.

morrison for Milne hopefully the only change, very good opportunity handed to him with the suspension to prove he should be a starting player. don’t think we  see afeez today as i haven’t heard work permit news, but if it’s in maybe we get a last 15 min cameo.

3-1 us, nisbet 2, Cameron 

Edited January 31Jan 31 by OrlandoDon

Expect Killie will look to thwart Topi so might overload their right side of defence . Could give more opportunity for Bilalovic on our right. If we don’t take this game by the scruff of the neck and win it comfortably I think we are resigned to bottom 6 as the next batch of games will be tough and we need the confidence of a run to go into it.
