Aberdeen v Falkirk

[THFN1983]

Milne, Nilsen, Molloy has to be the back 3 if Robinson goes for a back 5 but we've certainly had the luck against us with our CB injuries.

Fixed that for you…

Robinson has been mainly playing 3-5-2 this season, and wouldn't be surprised if he does that in his first game. He's also played 3-5-2 in both games v Falkirk this season - a 2-1 away win, and a 2-0 home defeat (although they had seven players injured for the second one).

I also think Shinnie will start as he'll want his captain in there for the first game. Olusanya is his man so likely starts too (although Lazetic did score a glorious goal against St Mirren).

My prediction (I presume there's no suspensions/injuries I've missed):-

3-1 us, nisbet, olusanya, Cameron

Good to see you back, mate.

Matchday again and another new era begins.

AFC: The Robinson Years 

Both he and we need a win today.

Any kind of win.

Can be the worst game of football ever played, as long as we can get three points.

It'll be interesting to see his first line up and I do expect a WTF moment when I read it.

I think this is what it'll be too. Personally, I'd prefer Nilsen in midfield, with Geiger punted, and Morrison in the back three, where he wasn't quite the liability he was in a four. I'd probably have Jensen over Lobban too, as I think Lobban was poor against Dunfermline.

He should never have started at Dunfermline. A shocking decision and through no fault of the laddie either, same goes for Frame on the left.

They will hopefully have learned from it though and Robinson uses them more wisely going forward, which I think he will.

Morrison will feature at some point, either as a starter or to replace Nilsen after an hour or so as no way he is lasting the full ninety.

Still nine games left for Morrison to gatecrash the Scotland squad for the World Cup.
