Think we'll see big Duk ragdolling the Stalbion fucks all over the shop, with Ramirez poking them over the line. 8-1. 8 different scorers. What a stupid prediction Rico Eight different scorers seriously 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redordead Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Having seen Stirling play stenny a few times last year I didn't expect much of a game. Very pleasing to see is go after it and not sit on a 2 goal cushion as we may have in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a lot more fun than Curtis Main. He's more Josh Magennis. Should be ace. Edit: once he loses the three additional stones.

manc_don Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Happy days, 5-0 win. Hopefully it is just nerves for Duk and he's better than Dadi was (albeit, still hold the cult status). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Duk has trained three times in six weeks according to Goodwin, so he's miles off the pace. Barron to miss the Raith & Celtic games it seems, but Mackenzie back training next week. Goodwin also admitted McCrorie moving into defence late on was him beginning to prepare for the Celtic game, with Scales not available. Though says Bates and Milne also being considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwin also admitted McCrorie moving into defence late on was him beginning to prepare for the Celtic game, with Scales not available. Though says Bates and Milne also being considered. It's very obvious that duk has missed training. Think the 45 minutes of match sharpness is wasted on a guy so far behind. Probably a bit harsh, but there's a risk of injury to think about too. Barron a huge loss. Ramadani strikes me as being very much like Jack (but with added incisive passing), covering the fullbacks and having a great understanding of the game. He'll need somebody dynamic, willing to run and good on the ball. With McRorie moving back, we have nobody that resembles that (he doesn't adequately do those either). McRorie has proven to be fairly honking at left centre back, I find it very strange that Stewart can't be switched and expect he'd fair a lot better on his wrong foot. It's a dubious move, made more dubious by removing McRorie from midfield with no adequate replacement. I'm surprised Hancock isn't in the running for left centre back, as he looks like a centre back. I'm guessing he's first in line for left back, which makes that side of the defence even more important. I'd move Stewart across and play Bates. Think that's the least worse option.

OrlandoDon Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Was a little disappointed in Duk to be honest but sounds like the guy has done very little in two months, plus just got here. Looked overweight and I assume has zero match sharpness. He's also a young lad too trying to create a good first impression so I'm sure he was excited/nervous. Unlike Miovski and Ramadani who are full internationalists, Duk has been signed as pure potential coming from a B/reserve set up. Showed some skill and pace, curious to see how he does, and based on what we saw yesterday I wouldn't mind seeing two up top with him playing off Ramirez/Miovski. He'll definitely give us a different look/option. Thought the subbing yesterday was rather odd/poor and didn't help us in the second half. A little too much change. Too much juggling and it was nice to see consistency in the first 2 1/2 games. If the plan was Celtic prep then sub Scales, ideally keeping Hancock at LB or move Hayes back. Not quite sure what we did with Jack Milne yesterday, thought he was a defender now and I don't think did much in midfield.....if that's where he was playing. Also not quite sure where Watkins was playing?? We've been at our best in recent seasons playing players in their natural positions, think we didn't quite have that in the second half. I agree moving McCrorie back for Celtic hurts midfield and the talk of Barron coming straight back in for the Celtic game baffles me a little. He's no seasoned vet, and hasn't played in a few weeks. I'd rather McCrorie and Ramadani stayed there for the Celtic game, we have more options at the back right now than we do in center mid.

donsdaft Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I thought he showed enough to generate a fair bit of hope and expectation. I loved his overhead kick from a sitting position. C'mon lads, we're going to be entertained this season, perhaps it's been so long since the Dons were entertaining that nobody actually remembers what it looks like.
