Aberdeen v St Mirren

[Mackie's ace!]

Any team news yet?

[Superstar Tradesman]

Yup.

 

The exact same team as midweek, except for a whole new set of players in different positions.

 

At a guess.

[Guest dundee_red]

3 changes from midweek:

 

Soutar, Foster, Mair, Considine, Maybury, Nicholson, Aluko, Maguire, Miller, Mackie, Severin.

Thats a fairly attacking line up.

[Drewsome]

We've already had 2 corners!  Come On You Reds!!!

[Guest dundee_red]

Fuck 1-0 St Midden

[Drewsome]

What was the play that led up to the goal?  Was Soapy to blame?

[Mackie's ace!]

Big Lee! (Mair)

 

I was thinking about him scoring today as I commented on Tuesday night that I doubted he'd ever score for us.

 

Wish I'd put him on my predictor now cos I was a minute out for the goal.

[Superstar Tradesman]

Sounds like a defensive nightmare again.

[BobbyBiscuit]

Maguire off, McNamara on. 

[topcorner]

Barron just sent off for Saints.

[manc_don]

I take it its sounding like utter dross then? Can't listen to radio scotland over here 

[Mackie's ace!]

Pretty disappointing. Had a lot of possession but just didn't create the chances.

[Dandy_Don]

So who have we got left before the split and who do Falkirk have left?

 

Kris

[Dandy_Don]

In fact, Falkirk have Killie at home, we have Inverness away. We then play them. You have to now assume that our chances for Top 6 are over.

[Superstar Tradesman]

I felt the league season was over as soon as Hart and Clark were punted and today just reminded me why I first thought that.  Anyone know what the crowd numbers were like today?

 

Utter dross.

[Dandy_Don]

The weather probably affected numbers though. I think that it is still possible but we would need to beat Falkirk something like 5-0? Assuming that they win next week by the same margin that we win next week, and that Hearts lose to United....

 

 

[Mackie's ace!]

It's not over until the 5th April.

 

Or maybe next week but I can't see us losing to Caley.

 

I imagine weather and Easter weekend will have affected numbers slightly.

[Harcus]

Still don't think it is quite over. Six points required, and hopefully Killie will do us a favour. Either that or we have to hump Falkirk, and we haven't giving anyone a humping in a while.

 

Believe.

[Kowalski]

Poor game today.  The line up and tactics seemed fine but just didn't get going and I'm struggling to think of any chances we created.  Defence looked a little shaky, and Mair had a Mare apart from his goal.  Hardly anybody had a decent game, they were all mince.

 

Foster needs a run in the reserves.

Maybury wasn't great today but I happen to think he's a better defender than Hart.

We wont hump anyone with darren mackie playing or should i say barren mackie

No goals at pittodrie since last april and no goals in league this season

not great going for our main striker and yes i know he has been injured, is a nice lad and gives 100% bla bla bla

Nice statment in the paper today though "I will shoot dons into top six"

Are we supposed to believe that pish

There wasn't one chance for him today.  Service to the strikers was abysmal.

[Millers Tache]

While there's a lot of truth in that, i thought Miller did well again. He won most aerial balls and was constantly looking for an out ball. Mackie's runs never seemed to be trying to create space, more just running for running's sake. But, to blame him for us being pish today would be harsh. Indeed, i suspected he might get a goal today, as he normally builds up his scoring record vs the bottom teams. But anyway, i'd only give Miller and Soutar pass marks to be honest. Everyone else just didn't seem interested, Mair was awful as usual and Considine showed that Diamond must talk him through every single game, such was his complete lack of ability first half.

[BrownyBrown]

I'd add Aluko to the list of players who earned pass marks today. He was the only player who had the abilty to get the ball into the box from the wing, win corners or dared to take on a defender before picking a pass.

 

Our threat from the right hand side was non-existant. Considering that in the 1st half that was the only side of the pitch which had playable grass on it then it is an opportunity missed.

 

Mair was simply awful and is not good enough for Aberdeen FC - even his goal wasn't enough to rescue him from a terrible performance.
