Surprised there is no game thread up for this yet as game is tomorrow. Really need to win this one as imo our season hinges on doing very well in the Scottish Cup as realistically it is our only chance of winning something this season following the shambles at Easter Road. We have been comfortably the better team in the two league meetings this season so should be confident of being able to beat them again. Having a card happy clown like Beaton in charge should help us as well as I doubt he will let Hearts away with the rough house tatics of the last game at Pittodrie. That said game is Tynecastle and our recent record there speaks for itself.

3-1 Dons Rooney double and Hayes

 

 

Bobbers miller was a world class defender and mcleish would lead , its like comparing stephen hawking to joey deacon

Dear god Considine. Take a touch for fuck sake!!

It's not though, is it? Miller was a hard bastard, Reynolds is soft as shite.

Considine contender for worst ever performance.

Not true. His points were spot on. To elaborate on the strength he spoke of, it's not just physical. Winners are mentally tough. They are hard as nails and WANT it more.

Considine contender for worst ever performance.

 

Beat me to it.

If I was the SFA id be investigating any online betting from considine this week. Surely to fuck no one can be that bad through just incompetence.

Hayes has also looked like a 5 yr old playing against his dad's mates tonight.

so f**king lightweight I'm glad it's not windier there or he'd be off down the royal mile.

Game is very different now , miller physically wasnt that much smaller and i agree hard as nails and a world class brain, the difference now is that these guys are 1-2 stone heavier in muscle v reynolds , point is its not apples with apples apologies for poor sentence construction cooking while drinking

Bullied all over the park today. Pretty fucking heartbreaking

I may be imagining it but it seemed to me that none of our players were looking forward until the last 10mins. They would pick up the ball in midfield in plenty of space and i cant recall any dons player turning and driving on. Instead they would stop and eventually pass it straight back to the defence.

 

Hearts players on the other hand were happy to come forward and take on dons players.

 

Considine was bad but for me Reynolds had a worse game. Last time I recall (at the moment) seeing a dons defence that disorganised was with Mcnamara leading them against Queen of the south.

 

And again persisting with Taylor upfront rather than throwing on smith??!!

 

The manager has chucked it lost the place , i think being top of the league has caused a mental breakdown

Another big game and bottle crash. Only one team wanted to win today and it was not us. McInnes again unable to change tactics when things go wrong. Goodwillie can fuck off now. Total waste of oxygen never mind a wage. Season over.

Another big game and bottle crash.

 

That's the most concerning, long term issue from today. Another big match and once again we fail to turn up.

That was quite frankly awful.

 

Slow start yet again which needs to be stamped out. Numerous awful performances, considine was poor (although apparently unfit), Reynolds was as poor as I'd ever seen him, Taylor was very lucky but I can't help but feel he is a disaster waiting to happen. The centre half pairing needs to be Reynolds and Quinn from now on and stick with it from now on. Logan played poorly too.

 

McGinn and Hayes were on the wrong side at the start and once it was rectified Hayes was very very poor. I don't think flood and shinnie work together at all and when flood went off smith should have came on.

 

Rooney was isolated the whole game and goodwillie was ineffective when he came on.

 

Pawlett looked ok when he came on but Jesus he falls over pretty much any time someone goes near him and it's embarrassing.

 

Over all we didn't deserve anything from the game, which is exactly what we got. McInnes needs to figure out how to set the team out so we can play against teams that sit in against us. Until we can manage that then we won't progress.

That was an absolute shambles of a performance, it was if the players did not even get of the team bus!

 

I dont think I need to say anything about Considine, awful performance. Our central midfield were once again non existent, when will we fianlly sign a CM with a bit fight and a presence about them??

 

McGinn and Hayes were not on form and unfortunately due to a central midfield being utter tripe, if those two are not performing then we arent really creating much in front of goal.

 

Overall just a really awful performance and a huge let down for the fans, especially the large travelling support that made their way down to Edinburgh.
