Hopefully they’re suitably broken after this game, emotionally and personnel wise. Currently, two teams going in different directions but I still wouldn’t be confident in saying we’ve turned the corner. Things appear to be improving but we need a win here as they’re only a point off from us.

Ramsay started training again this week, but I’d imagine it’s too soon for him to be getting back into the team and besides, would it upset the apple cart? not saying I’d agree, but it’s a valid thought. Regardless we’ve got a busy 8 days ahead of us with Dundee and huns coming up quick fast after. Be good to keep up some momentum going through these fixtures.

2-1 dons, Ramirez and Ferguson 

 

Fancy us for this, their defence is all over the shop.  I think the big decision is whether or not to start jenks over Jet after his winning goal last time out. 

3-1 dons, their defence is all over the place.   Watkins 2 and ramirez

Hibs did look poor defensively in cup final but wonder if appointment of Maloney will give them new manager bounce. I have not been impressed with Jenks or Emmanuel Thomas in the games I have watched so not sure if I would start either against Hibs. We also have the issue of McRorie being suspended so we will have to make changes anyway. I just hope Ramsey is not rushed back unless fully fit to fill that gap.

Looks like this will be David Bates last game for a while as Nicola Sturgeon has stated no spectators allowed from 26 December 😉

Four weeks ago or so this might not have been an unreasonable thing to say.

I do however think on the basis of the last few weeks this is a tad harsh.

Yep, Harsh. Bates has come on to a game and is turning into the player I expected him to be. Hopefully over the next few games he will continue to do well, gain confidence and become a stalwart at the back for us. 

He had to use someone for the joke. Ojo's in enough bother, so there weren't many left to choose from. Bates can take it.

McRories a tough loss,Gallacher in contention for this one?  Both sides capable of good and bad spells.Ill take a draw down there at this stage.

Hibs 2 - Dons 2  (Ferguson,Hayes)

Reckon there'll be a decent turnout tonight. We always beat Hibs before a lockdown in my experience. In the ballot for boxing day and the Huns. Doubt they'll actually occur.

If you are going tonight keep the noise down as some of us will be trying to work. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

And not climb off the moral high horse and go. 

Selection tombola in full flow. 
 

Is it not just that Brown is out (replaced by Campbell)? Otherwise same team with Gallagher in for McRorie

Glass confirmed that he's been allowed to sit out tonight so that he can attend a black lives matter march.

Good to see McKenzie and Ramsay on the bench. Not overly confident about this one but lets get at them and see what happens.COYR

Aye, as soon as Gogic came on. To be fair, there could be kids watching that footballing abomination.

ojo and hayes offer nothing at full backs 

Were fucking awful going forward.

Both Ojo and Hayes been pretty poor.Maybe get McKenzie or Ramsay on second half. Poor upfront

First substitution to be JET off and Jenks on

Gallagher has looked pretty solid in first forty five 👍

Not a bad half. Easy to be critical of Hayes and Ojo, but with the formation they're always starting in front of the defender. Ramsay on though, for Jet. Would like to have seen Ojo make way too.
