Dundee United v Aberdeen

[Jute]

United fans on the train last week were talking about staying in the pub rather that going to their game as Goodwin had sucked all the joy out of watching their team so cannot see this being classic as Ajja said. Red card for Morrison means Milne should start which is what should have happened on Saturday anyway. Would expect Shinnie to replace Aremu who has looked well off being ready to start games. Not convinced by Olusanya at all and would rather we started Bilalovic or Milanovic on the right. Devlin looked knackered on Saturday and would like to see Lobban coming in but not sure he is rated by the interim coaching team. As long as work meetings allow should be at this tonight but not looking forward to it. 
 

In

Train then straight to ground

Shed

Train back to Capital

1-1 Nisbet

The day we prove our many detractors wrong.

You interest me.

Have been so depressed since the Dundee game that haven’t been on here. But will endure the misery of RedTV tonight, because that’s what I do. Not optimistic.

[Bukta Bertie]

Very excited about tonight. The beauty of it is the pressure has gone. Yes I know some drama queens still think we can end up in the play off spot but we won't. That's not even an outside possibility. 

Win, lose or draw it will change very little so let's just see how we can play with the shackles off.

Why on earth are the “shackles off” tonight but weren’t on Saturday? Mental.

They were. Did you see the game on Saturday? I mean actually see it.

Aberdeen were fantastic for the first 25 minutes and were the best side in the second half despite being a man down.

 

[wee toon red]

So why weren’t they off against Motherwell in the league the week before when we were rotten? Absolute havers!

[Bukta Bertie]

Decent in periods of that game too.  It's clear you only like to focus on the bad things. Yet another of the ultra-negative buggers we have supporting (?) the club.

I have zero tolerance for mood hoovers so your name has now been added to the list.

I’m going into this one with zero expectations tbh. Only way to be just now.

Shinnie back should help if he can play like last midweek. Milne should be an upgrade on Morrison - yep Morrison has been that bad.

Devlin was horse last weekend too so I’d be happy to see him dropped inna, though Frame & Lobban at FB may lack experience.

Gyamfi will no doubt injure himself in a freak gardening accident during warm up so can’t rely on him.

If we can keep 11 on the park & actually show the right attitude for 90 mins instead of only part of the game, that would go a long way.

Big ask I know…

We weren't fantastic.

We were decent then shat ourselves again and allowed Dundee back into it.

We were good in the second half, as we were chasing the game, with Dundee hitting us on the counter.

We were good for a point.

I would say first 15 minutes or whenever it was the Dundee player lay on the ground injured. It was at that point that Pressley some how managed to make some changes and the game changed.

[The.Moog]

Devlin still in despite being utterly gash at the weekend & a non left back in at left back for a guy who did nothing really wrong at the weekend.

We really don’t help ourselves at all do we…

[Panda]

I like the look of the midfield.

I like the look of the front three.

The defence and goalkeeper will do very well to have a clean sheet though. Need to score at least twice to win tonight I think.

[Bukta Bertie]

Surprised Frame is out but at least they've realised that the black lad with the white hair is too short of match practice to start a game.

Yes. I'm happy enough with thay side. Should be more than enough to blow the tangerines away. 

[brydedon]

Didn't expect to see Molloy starting.

Hopefully doesn't get injured on that tattie field

Anyway Dons win 1 - 2

COYR

[OrlandoDon]

wtf. These line ups man! We’re trying to win games, squad rotation gtf.

[TheDonbytheDee]

I'd say it's a lightweight midfield and a powderpuff defence.

The jute will hit high balls up and over all night, knowing we'll shit the bed at some point.

Three points for us  is all that matters.

Yep- this all day long

[Panda]

That's the lowest number of Aberdeen tickets sold for Tannadice I can ever remember. And I say that as someone who couldn't be arsed going up for it.
