Sunday game obviously as both teams on european qualifiers duty.  Their form has been patchy at best, whereas we've come out of our self imposed covid lockdown with a decent bit of form.  We should beat them but having an away time in Europe ( I know they played in Norn Ireland) but we might be a bit slower out of the blocks.

Would like to see us continue the formation we've been playing of late, or as close to as it's actually working and playing some decent football.

When does Edmundson come into contention?  Can't see us scoring many.

1-0 dons, Hayes

Back down to earth with a bump this afternoon and I blame Elgin Don for renewing his ST and jinxing us.

Clearly some of our second string players need shipped out as just not good enough, but easier said than done.

Take it on the chin and move on.

Happy to throw it away after that shite 

 

Thing with Taylor is,he hasnt been that bad since he came back. As long as he's had someone solid beside him. After that performance though,going to be hard to trust him again.

  Motherwells intensity also caught us a bit off guard,and McInnes should have learned from midweek that McRorie needs to be kept in midfield,though it was maybe the thought of Ash at the back that swayed his decision to bolster defence.

    Just when things were looking good......

If the idea was to pair McKenna and Taylor and then McKenna was pulled out McInnes should have played Hoban from the start...as you say Taylor is reasonable when someone solid is beside him but in a back 3 he's a nightmare especially when he's flanked by a non-RB and a non-LB.  Thought McCrorie had a really poor game today, right from the start his passing was wayward...he's definitely better suited to playing in midfield.

Was an awful performance but hopefully a one off. Really it was just a bad half hour. Motherwell caught us sleeping.

Quite why Lewis played the 2nd goal first time is beyond me. He could easily have taken a touch and played it out without issue.

I think whilst watching on Alba that Motherwell had their tactics spot on today.

Taylor didn't have a great game, but I do think it is hard when you change players at the back and we have seen over the years it has never helped us chopping and changing things, but I would say Taylor has never looked comfortable in a back three.

I still reckon we are not that bad a team and putting it down to a bad day at the office.

Aye,best not to over dwell on it and hope we can get good replacement for McKenna quickly,so we dont have to over rely on Talyor
