bloo_toon_red Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Agree with all that but would add Paton doesn't have enough pace out wide. Also agree, the frustration is that the formation McGhee has us playing doesn't balance with the playing staff he has at his disposal, and there's going to be alot of disappointed faces in the forward positions when (if) everyone is fit - hence Paton, in allegedly turning down his loan move, can't afford to sulk about not getting a game, and needs to force himself in wherever he can. Disappointing though it is for Paton and the others, the goalscoring exploits of Vernon is giving us something to be positive about. Whisper this very softly though - is Vernon the goal-grabber we've been waiting for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Whisper this very softly though - is Vernon the goal-grabber we've been waiting for? Don't fucking start you're just back! Good return from Vernon thus far, I can't say very much, I ain't seen the dude. McGhee's supposed favoured formation looks to me to be heavily dependant upon decent full backs. Good start there then.

Ptayles Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Thought Mackie came on and changed the game a bit last night. Apart from the one glorious chance he missed, he done really well. Fought for everything. And Vujadinovi? looks like he could be a tidy player but not at full back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 the cracks are there for all to see, our whole midfield is out injured the squad players we have arnt going to cut it! Really worried that we didnt take in a full back! On the other hand this is the type of game in previous years we could have easily lost so on that note thing it was a good result - shame the performance didnt match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 What's the story with Stoney? Thought all was rosy in the garden I think this win against lower league opposition is just papering over the cracks... much like how a massive win against FC Kobenhavn and a draw against Bayern Munchen were just papering over the cracks. I see what you are saying but this round of crack papering didn't make me cum in my pants the way those other two did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow sheep Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Wasn't at the game and obviously no commentary but I'd delighted with the win last night. Raith are a decent side as has been shown by their start in the first this season. County and Falkirk both caused significant problems for other SPL sides and we seem to have done better against a (so far this season) better side. On top of that we came back from a 2-1 down which must be the first time in years. Added to that we have a striker with 4 in 3. Fuck me even if he doesn't score again this season he'll have done as well as many of our "strikers" have done in the last two years. Obviously dissapointing that the defence sounds like it still a shambles and having Hartley missing will be a big loss, as much as because we have virtually no cover than anything else. Won't add to the fullbacks/wide players/Paton chat as we all know it, just a shame MMc didn't/doesn't. As for the draw I'd take anyone at home outside the OF who look like they will stroll through this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harcus Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Falkirk or Motherwell at home. Aberdeen v Falkirk Motherwell v Dundee United Kilmarnock v Rangers St Johnstone v Celtic Not sure if that's confirmed yet. OF kept apart, shocker.

El Padre™ Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 What was Hartleys 'celebration' all about after he scored his penalty? Incidentally it was never in a million years a penalty.

Fought for everything. And Vujadinovi? looks like he could be a tidy player but not at full back When Mackie came on last night the radio commentator said that Mackie is loathed by the entire Aberdeen support and Richard Gordon took great offence, then Steve Tosh said his nickname in the dressing room was "boo" due to the reaction of the crowd when he came onto the pitch I was quite embarrassed listening to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got very very lucky with that decision. Their number 5 was trying to psyche him out while he was getting ready to take it, so he scored and pointed out in no uncertain terms that the guy was a massive great slag. And agree. Looked about 2 feet outside the box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
