Feeling slightly optimistic

[Guest donindundonald]

I for one am feeling a little optimistic about the forthcoming new season.

 

I like the fact that we have brought in a few new faces (in particular Hartley instead of Hendrie) and am looking forward to the new season starting.

 

Anyone else got a good feeling?

Optimistic no, looking forward to it, I guess so.

 

Living in London, I don't get to see the Dons very often, so Saturday was the first time in ages i'd managed to get to a game. I too, shared your optimism, but we played exactly the same as we did last season. I guess it was a reality check, but i'm neither optimistic or pessimistic about the season ahead. There are promising signs, we just have to hope it all clicks together.

Would love to have a feeling of optimism, been searching for it, but just can't locate it.

Nothing from pre season suggests to me that this season is going to any different than last.

Our lack of a goalscorer is going to be a major hurdle to overcome.

 

AFC please prove me wrong

That'll soon be knocked out of you on here...

 

Optimistic? No. Slightly lessened sense of dread from 3 weeks ago? Yes.

Very true Al, but I'm also concerned about our lack of creativity. Unless we have Pawlett playing I can see us creating very little. The fact he seems rather fragile physically is a worry.

At least if we're creating chances we can see just how good/woeful our strikers are, if we're not creating anything we could have Duncan Shearer and Frank Mcdougall in their pomp up front and we'd still never score.

[bilbobaggins]

I'm quite confident we'll do ok with a team including the following players;

 

Langfield

Foster

Considine

Diamond

Pawlett

Aluko

Hartley

Fyvie

Paton

 

If they get the finger out, if one or two of the new guys step up and we can avoid injuries then we'll be fine.

We will NOT get knocked out of the Europa League by some unknown team this season.

Cracking weather, eh?

 

The stadium is the worst stadium I've ever been in.

It amused the hell out of me. Sitting on the Golf Open stands

 

I enjoyed the bar though

Aye the bar was OK. Was nice to be able to sit outside and still see what's going on on the pitch.

Feeling optimisitc about Aberdeen?

 

[xGav8]

I felt optimistic about last season and it ended in disappointment.

 

Feeling hopeful about this season with all the new signings

Cannot see why, we have made one very good signing and signed others about whom we know absolutely ride all.
