Going to be a very difficult one on Thursday. Back to basics for me, solid at the back and in midfield and let the creative players do their thing in a recognised (for us) formation. No dicking about. Get back on track and start winning games convincingly before we try fucking about with the setup. Keep Maynard the fuck away from the game. I wasn't at the Killie game, so only going on what was said on here, but I'd go:

 

-----------------Lewis----------------

Logan---OConnor---Arneson--Consi

----------Ball--------Shinnie---------

--Christie-------McLean------GMS--

-----------------May-----------------

 

Think we need to revert to type. Tansey for Ball as an option if he's fit. Wright for GMS depending on the weather. No pricking about trying to force Rooney and May to play together.

 

Anyway,

 

Out, TV etc.

 

 

Would have thought they'd have wanted this done as soon as they could considering delaying it could mean he's out of a semi final, potentially, and Celtic at home

 

Think exactly the same as you Bobby. Strikes me as extremely strange move. I like what I've seen of Tansey and would rather get him back on the park sooner rather than later to be honest.

2-0 us or them.

 

Im gonna go us for no reason at all.

 

Christie and May.

It's a good point. I don't think we've deserved to lose any of our games other than Hearts one too. However, there is none where we've comfortably deserved the points.

 

I suspect what people are really saying is that we've been unconvincing against mostly bottom 6 opponents and, against what appears to be a decent Motherwell team, our performances would not warrant a victory. Do you think that's fair?

 

Aye.  Fairer than th....

 

Fairer than th......

 

Fairer than th......

 

Ah , fuck it !

Very lucky ? Really?  The only team that have outplayed us or dominated for most of the match was Hearts.  And we were extremely unlucky not to be a goal up and and playing against ten men from the first minute

 

 

Hearts should have beaten us, Dundee could have beaten us with the chances they missed, and even Thistle could have taken the points. Don't remember the others games much but I'm not talking about being out played or dominated, we have given up a lot of chances and could have easily lost more goals and games. We've been fortunate not to have been punished.

He must feel having Tansey now gives us more chance of getting to the semis in the first place.By that time Ball might be more up to speed to fill his place...

I don't get the impression Deek views Tansey as a starter at the moment, which is why I think it's a strange move. However, it could be something more simple that we don't even think about such as availability of a surgeon or some such. The club has maybe been given a couple of dates and thought, we might as well keep him available for a couple of games. Thing is, we're only really holding him back by 3 working days (if surgeons dinna dee wikends) if we keep him in the squad until Monday, and the extra week that'll take to get him back is probably nae going to make a difference if he's out for a month. I doubt McInnes would throw him straight back in for the Tims after 4 weeks out after an op. He'll take another couple to get back to fitness. Probably a smart move, even if he only comes off the bench tonight to score the winning free-kick.

It's 15/4 motherwell on Stan James.  Considering how we've been scraping bye, and how moult is playing, it's miles wrong imo

 

I still think we'll win tonight but the price is so far wrong I've had to have a bet. Hopefully I jinx them ?

Team for tonight.Make of it what you will....

 

 

Lewis

Logan

OConnor

Reynolds

Considine

Shinnie

MacLean

Ball

GMS

Christie

May

 

Surgeons most definitely do weekends in private practice....That was actually why i thought the op was being delayed because it is usually an NHS surgeon who would be working Mon-Fri that does the op in his spare time on a weekend to top up his retirement fund.

Team for tonight.Make of it what you will    :confused

 

 

Lewis

Logan

OConnor

Reynolds

Considine

Shinnie

MacLean

Ball

GMS

Christie

May

 

Also confused. Seven left footed players as well. McInnes usually likes balance so that's surprising.

 

Seems a lot more defensive though, which might be sensible, I predict a tight affair, hopefully with us shading it.

                                        Lewis

Logan        O'Connor                Reynolds              Consi

                    Ball                        Shinnie

GMS                              McLean                          Christie

                                        May

 

I would (Eden) hazard a guess, though I'd rather Christie was where he seems to be at his best, in the middle, not out wide.

dominic ball looks hopeless but assume he is out of position

mark shitbag reynolds outmuscled again , kenny mclean culpable for needlessly giving ball away

Ball given away by McLean

 

Fuckin arsehole

Reynolds skinned and what a fuck up by Lewis

anyone else having issues using the bbcs online service. It just sits there doing nought

Me too, assumed it was because I'm in the colonies or somesuch nonsense

 

So how did we line up and why are we already losing?

 

STrange line up and shows that the tombola shows no signs of being dropped.

 

I still fancy us to win well tonight....
