manc_don Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 A relatively close game for BigAl. DM has said that he will play a side that should be strong enough to win on Wednesday as Ayr are a decent enough side and can (hopefully won't) cause an upset. Could really do with a good cup victory to start the season. Out Work Hopefully listening online Flat 2-1 Dons, Stockley and Storey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 3-0 dons, Stockley, Rooney, Storey Curious to see the strategy here, don't want to mess with the line up too much but it will be 4 competitive games in 2 weeks and wins Wednesday and Sunday will certainly put us right back on track. I'm all for Alexander getting the nod, important to get him a game and familiarity with those around him. Give Shinnie a breather and I think McGinn is carrying a knock. Also good to further develop the OConnor Reynolds partnership. Tempted to go with Storie for McLean but maybe a good game for McLean to get some confidence back. I'd go with Alexander Logan-OConnor-Reynolds-Considine Storey-Jack-McLean-Burns Rooney-Stockley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbadteacher Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I reckon on it being an awkward but in the end professional 2-0 win for the Dons, Jack and McLean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Need to make up for last seasons abysmal showings in the cups. Would go with our strongest team tonight so we can get the game done quickly. Can always rest players once we are well ahead. In (as long as work does not interfere) Train then hopefully a beer in town Standing behind the goal Jogging for last train 2-0 McGinn and Stockley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 3-0 dons, Stockley, Rooney, Storey Alexander Logan-OConnor-Reynolds-Considine Storey-Jack-McLean-Burns Rooney-Stockley I'd generally agree with that, sensible line up. Minus McLean, think we need to see what someone else can offer in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Fucking unbelievable that this is 2-1. Have had total dominance without taking the chances. Hope McInnes doesn't decide to manage the game out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Sounds like we passed up a shite load of chances? Really need to start to taking chances. A wins a win in the cup though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Failure to convert chances led to that being a lot more nervy than necessary. On another night as Ryan Stevenson said on Radio Scotland we could have scored seven or eight in the first half alone. Major pluses were Burns and O'Connor. End of the day, job done and in the last eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
