Might as well get on with the next match if tonight's is aff.

If it goes ahead, Aberdeen continue their defence of the Scottish Cup at home to Motherwell on Saturday night at 7:30 pm. It's live on Premier Sports.

Last time Aberdeen faced Motherwell at home in defence of the Scottish Cup, Stevie Kirk scored the only goal of the game. Motherwell went on to win the cup.

Assuming the pitch has dried out, I fancy us to run out 2-1 winners after extra time.

If Milne is free from suspension I’d like devlin Milne and lobban in for Jensen Morrison and olusanya. For the time off, disrupted training, lack of games, new signings, and manager uncertainty, I didn’t think the weekend was too bad. I expect tonight to be better and we take a chance or two. We’ll be fitter sharper and maybe a bit more doc influence. 2-1 us.

lobban and devlin makes perfect sense, I think both are more attack minded, plus more aggressive than Jensen. We have no right mid plus the left is their strong side, I think it’s worth a try.

nisbet is by far our best forward right now, him and Cameron with the goals.

I've just been taking the temperature in the streets of Northfield and I must confess not everyone shares my enthusiasm. Troubling.

Key ingredient tonight is fight. If we don’t show that we really really fucking want to defend this trophy like our lives depend upon it then there is something deep routed and endemically wrong in this squad. We just haven’t seen that kind of determination for some time. We saw it in moments in games under early Thelin but it was off the back of a confidence we would just win. I want to see that tonight. If we get first goal and are determined enough, it’s there for us.

Yep, fully expect Shinnie to be starting this one for that very reason.  

Re the motherwell away game.   I felt for spells in the game we held them at arms length which as I understand it not too many teams have been able to do against them at all really.  Optimism springs from this I think, whilst they were worth their win in the end they certainly didn't get it all their own way and given the respective clubs form going into the tie this feels like improvement.  Is this enough to feel confident of a win tonight?  No.  But it's a different fixture and we are at home. Heed first, etc.  

2-1 dons  Nisbet and Keskinen
 

Hope the fitba's as invigorating as that February breeze on the Y should be.COYR 

It's happening: Milanovic is scoring tonight.

The BBC website has it as a 4-1-4-1 with Shinnie as the defensive midfielder.

How many chances is this dud going to get FFS. He is hopeless. Too much to hope for that he gets injured in the warm up. Jesus biggest game of the season left and we play him

Motherwell doing a bit of squad rotation tonight? Bold…

Well are gonna have some strength to come in late in game if it’s tight. Geiger will be gassed on 60, as will Shinnie.

Mcinnes would be parking the bus now and we'd all lose 3 years of life expectancy

Another reason to sub Milanovic. Get him off the pitch to keep our one man advantage
