Match Thread - Sporting v Aberdeen

The games are coming thick and fast right now.

Will this week see the end of our Thursday/Sunday run of games or will we take another step closer to the Holy Grail of Europa League group stage qualification ?

Part of me has the major fear about Thursday's match and think our best and possibly only chance of going through here might be if the opposition chuck it given their Covid infection. The other part of me however thinks that this is typical of when McInnes pulls it out of the hat as he has previous of pulling off results post a capitulation in the match prior to it.

Head says Sporting, heart says Dandies

2-1 them I'm afraid 

Please prove me wrong.

  • Can we stop with the personal attacks before this even goes anywhere? I thought we got rid of that a few weeks ago. I really appreciate the chat and banter here, and certainly appreciate differences o

  • I much preferred the old system which was home and away ties, winner takes all, with no seedings. Groups diluted the competitive element, and this dilutes it further. Everyone needs to be guarant

Ugh. Could be a 3-5-2/5-3-2 or a 4-5-1, but it's everyone I said above with the exception of Taylor playing and Wright on the bench. I suspect 4-5-1 with Considine at LB.

Wright dropped as Rico predicted. Hoping it’s 4 at the back but think it might be a 5.

Better not be a back five

This is a game where only one outcome works for us, so for fuck sake go and have a go.

Only one name on that list is giving me the Fear

It has to be a back 4 surely, no way we go with Taylor and a less than speedy Considine in a 3. Back 5 and we don't cross the half way line.

Yep, I'm guessing back 4. Either a 4-5-1, or a 4-1-4-1. Hayes further forward maybe a good thing. Looking forward to it now. Taylor hattrick in a 3-3 draw. Watkins with the winning penalty, 1-0, Lewis unbeatable.

Looking a 3 to start. Oh well.

Well we lasted 5 minutes....

rush of blood from gash taylor and 18 year old scores

may as well forget it taylor is fucking hopeless

At work so can't watch, probably don't wan to?

logan culpable also playing the onside trap

Going to be a long night if this is the tactics. Sit back and let a team missing multiple players who haven't played a competitive game yet this season to come at us. Then long ball if we win it. Disappointing. Hope to be proved wrong!

Edit - we've actually knocked it around a couple of times but have barely touched the ball since....

Gash Taylor strikes again 

Goal was so easy for them. Back line is all over the shop with two going out as three dropped deep.

Not sure that the full responsibility can be directed at Taylor on that occasion.

Our development is being arrested by their No:37

Think about it ?

We are playing better now, they don’t look brilliant so we might have a chance.

They do not look sharp/fit at all, go at them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are enjoying far more possession than I thought we'd get

Just such a shame about that goal
