Gutless eleven V The Poorest Bunch of Tims For Decades

[Ajja]

I think we are a lot more capable at home. Red cards have disrupted recent games but we have looked much more in control in longer spells in home games. Thought we looked a bit more solid at back against the Jambos at the weekend. That said, I would def be throwing out the second string to protect players for weekend.

I think we have a reason to be optimistic, but it will be hard and nothing of late suggests we’re in for a good performance. We struggle to score, gift easy goals, but we’re due a good performance and win!

Yes. I can't argue that we're struggling to score but it's got to happen. The floodgates have to open. When better than against a lower league side. I hoped the demolition of Livvy was the start but that beautiful trickle of water dried up all too soon.

It’s frustrating because as bad as we’ve been, there have been times I think we have some good players. The livi game is a great example, we get some hope, then have been shit resultswise since. I also don’t think it matters what team we put out, we’re not good enough to squad rotate or rest players. We could get beaten by dunfermline, or lazetic scores a hat trick. It’s totally up in the air.

In all the recent games there have been purple patches and green shoots. Some of our fans are just refusing to see it. God alone knows why. We just need a full 90 minutes of it instead of circa 60. Quite a few of the players aren't up to speed yet and are still bedding in. All of them are obviously suffering to one degree or another from the current lack of stability at the club

I'd suggest most of our players are capable of performing to a high enough standard once they are fully fit and / or well coached and inserted into a system that works. 

Believe.

I canna see anything else other than a royal thrashing (hope I am wrong but just canna see it)
0-4 or 5 The Victims 

[Bukta Bertie]

Would usually take my seat in the Main Stand but we've left it late this time and it's sold out. So Soother it is.

£26 for the authentic 70's open air terracing experience in Section Y. £33 for younger bucks. Pretty sure you can get cheaper tickets for Bundesliga games?

Surely ticket pricing needs to be looked at. As those prices are just blooming ridiculous.

 Celtic are no great shakes, so I can't see them thrashing us this time around. 

I'm not confident we will get anything on Wednesday night, but I don't think we will get hammered. 

[Jute]

Don’t think we have managed a genuine shot on target in last two games and cannot see that changing on Wednesday. As has been said this is not a particularly good Celtic side but still expect them to beat us comfortably. We probably need to make changes to ensure players are fit and prepared for cup game. Game is live on Sky so couch for me.

Were you getting a pie when Shinnie rolled that ball into the clutches of the Utd keeper? I’m taking that as a bona fide SoT.

Welcome  Cant call you a gloryhunter on currentl form.What were Donscast saying(whoever they are)

I was a regular in here years ago but then just started going on twitter and Facebook. It’s an Aberdeen podcast I listen too. He always says check out donstalk to see what the fans re saying and he reads a few comments without naming names

Listened to that one a few times but it always seems a bit AI generated. Is it a real guy? 
There are a few decent Dons ones kicking about. Here We Go is the best for analysis. ABZ is decent banter, but more fun. Red Tinted Glasses is somewhere in between with OK analysis and less fun.

I actually listened to the recent episode on the way home yesterday after it was advertised on here, and I had AI vibes too. 

I've been on the HereWeGo podcast a few times in the past as a guest, but sullied myself each time by talking shite. I think I'm better off with the written word rather than trying to have real life human interactions.

As always I sincerely hope I am wrong pal, but I jist canna see it. Do give ourselves a chance we need to be up for it and at least have a go and who knows maybe even get a shot or two on target and maybe even string three or four passes together, But I jist canna see it.

Let's at least hope hope at the end of it we have a full clean bill of health and we can set about getting these charlatan's ready for the trip to East End park.

The fact that we even made a Wilfred Nancy Septic team look good last year, shows you what we are up against tomorrow night. 

I actually think we have looked better as a team recently, just lacking confidence all over the park and experience in certain areas.

Be lovely to get something tomorrow night and derail their quest for the title

[Jute]

Bratveit and Devlin both out of tomorrow night according to Leven. 

[Ajja]

Devlin went off on Saturday didnt he? He needs a rest anyway. Bratveit….meh, next. 

[TheDonbytheDee]

Game day.

No optimism for this one, but I'll trudge along to it more in hope than expectation.

Same. I can't remember a Celtic game where I've been more disinterested. It's upsetting.

It's an odd one as we don't want hearts to win the league and celtic winning tonight could help towards that becoming a reality. That being said I can't actively want my own team to lose. 

Catch-22.

Headline in the P&J saying two key players out, prob out of the cup game too. Do we have any key players? Keepers are a wash, no better no worse,  possibly mitov the better one, plus devlin hasn’t been great in recent weeks. Hope to see lobban over Jensen. I do wonder if we rest shinnie and Armstrong tonight, the two old guys, plus with Geiger suspended for the cup those two will be needed at The Weeknd. other than that don’t expect anything radical tonight. 
maybe we sneak a draw? Celtic maybe need the win more than us to keep a title challenge, obviously we have to look behind us, but few expect much from tonight.

[Panda]

Quite funny how it's all worked out.

When this game was originally due to be played, we planned to have Eirik Horneland as a guest.

Now it's been rearranged, tonight we plan to have Sandro Schwarz as a guest.

I think we need the win as much as they do, seeing as relegation is becoming more of a possibility with every passing defeat.

We really don't and that sort of nonsense is really getting on my low swinging testes.

The Dons will finish mid table. Relax.

I would like to think we will be safe, but I won't relax until it's mathematically certain that we are staying up.
