The losers attempt to lose yet another home game on Saturday at 3 pm at Pittodrie.

I fancy a routine 3-0 away win for the Buddies.

As Goldie didn’t invite me to her Birthday extravaganza I am currently on train crawling its way through Fife. Hopefully the injuries story was just an attempt at mind games from Robinson and we have Nisbet and Mouloua upfront today. The thought of having to watch Olousanya and Netelo run about as a forward pairing is giving the fear. Suspect we will again stick with back 5 and have no width again. St Mirren looked poor on Saturday so surely to fuck we can get something today.

Train running late so no beer

Y sober

Pub trying to erase pervious 90 minutes then train back to Capital.

There was a DonsTalk global invite. The party is even open to Dons abroad, via Zoom. Must have asked the mods to remove your name from the mailing list.

Confident we will get the three points today.

Just away to leave for it soon.

Two spaces left in Nisbet's car for anyone still stuck, but we'll have to stop off to pick up Mahou with the carryout

4-5-1?

Probably could do with an attacking option on the bench at the expense of one of Happe/Molloy/Gyamfi.

Bit harsh on Marshall being dropped.

Finally no more 5 at the back nonsense. Maybe we'll actually score a goal today.

Easy to be critical, but too much change, and I see this being the case weekly. We had three at the back last week and dominated possession. Make some tactical andjustments and improve on what we were lacking. Maybe get more attacking play from cadden or NGW, get a central midfielder further forward etc. Make minor adjustments and do things better. We’re solid atvthe back for the most part. Instead we see significant change, both in formation and personnel. Hopefully it’s successful, but significant change on a weekly basis doesn’t work.

4 at the back then.

No Milne ✅

The Brad Lyons love affair continues

So is this setup:

1. an admission he made a complete arse of it last week (which he did) or

2. just shows he’s no clue what to do with this squad or what his best formation is?

Definitely 2, but would he admit to 1 ?

Doubtful…

Opta (via the BBC) says it's a 4-2-3-1.

So he's been saying all his full-backs are better as wing backs. Then names them as full-backs...

I guess though 4-2-3-1 makes sense since Hearts played that last week v St Mirren and won 5-0.

But, looking at the personnel, I think it might actually be the fabled 4-1-3-2. Five minutes until we find out.

Fair play Bradley, that’s some ping son!!

I think I'm a little in love, what a ping.

Of course, this is what happens when I can't go 😂 😂😂

Yasss!!! .... jist tuned in tae good news .... COYR!

St mirren the better team now and have been for maybe 10 mins now, should have equalized. We’ve fallen out of it.

Obviously we're not going to score another goal.

Can we hang on for 65 mins or so??

Seriously a team unable to do the basics and devoid of any skill whatsoever. Entertainment value zero.

Horrible watch. Such little passing, lot of wasted long ball. We just dont keep the ball hence we defend more than attack.

I’ll add to that, our long corners and free kicks, which are most of them, are shit too. Create nothing.

Normal service resumed.

Deserved equalizer. We are god awful. First time in a while I’m tempted to switch off, not enjoyable at all.

That crossfield pass to Thomas has been killing us all game

Ach shite!! ... It's been comin ☹️

We're basically playing a 4-4-2 with Ronan often our most forward player. Smith and Olusanya are essentially playing as wing backs. Kevin Nisbet according to Opta has touched the ball eight times - three of them in his own half.

We've had 32% possession. At home. To a team who got spanked 5-0 last week.
