This game may well hinge on who we have fit.  We desperately need width of some sort, even getting Jack back to fill in at RB.  Midfield needs a shake up (well Hughes dropped) and we can't start with Fallon and Vernon upfront.......

So expect 4 centre halfs, four central midfielders and Fallon and Vernon up top.

They have a good recent record up here but on current form have been shipping goals, whether our ineffectual attack can take advantage of this time will tell.

Anyhoo the usual stats run down:

 

 

 

10 Year Record vs St Johnstone at Pittodrie Stadium

 

Poor record but not many games. Saints are undefeated in the last four at Pittodrie with a draw and three wins, which is even more impressive given they have only won a total of 11 games at Pittodrie.

I didn't think Reynolds was that bad either thought he was put under pressure at times by others around him giving him the ball at stupid times. Vernon and Jack were my only other pass marks though. Fyvie was pathetic. Please don't turn out to be another Diamond situation.

Usually a fan of jack but thought he gave it away too often, not helped by fyvie also having a mair. (no typo )

 

Mind you think fyvie has been hung out to dry this season as its been clear since day 1 of the season he either cant or wont play on the wing.

Even allowing for being "out of position" simple, basic shit was being fluffed, by everyone I hasten to add, but Fyvie was as bad as anyone for it. 

Fucking hell that game was chronic. I was ill so never went to the game. Watched it on TV and it made me more ill.
