Rare to come up against a team we’ve not played against domestically, but here we are. Will make for a fun away day for those able to make it, shame it’s midweek. 
 

Their results have been mixed since knocking st Johnstone out of the cup, but they’ve also shown some metal to win another penalty shoot out.

We really should be winning this comfortably, but I guess it’ll depend on their pitch etc. same team as the other  games should be fine, but think we’ll need to rotate the squad to keep them fresh.

That's a fairly rank performance so far. Tight pitch and they're sitting in, but the lack of invention is very last season. It's showing the lack of quality in depth in the squad and obviously the difficulty in such a huge turnover of players. That right hand side of Shayden and Jayden is fairly rank. Morris isn't better than McLennan, which is a little shit. With Clarkson and Hayes missing we lack energy and creativity. McRorie been pish too. I'd take on Hayes and Duk. Kennedy been okay, but he doesn't penetrate, he'll do the easy ball in that nearly gets through to the striker.

I'd say that's a good comparison, Morris-McLennan, surely Morris has more but watched the entire first half and yet to see him take on a player. Vinny has been buzzing around but don't see him with that creative final ball. This is the game a legit #10 makes a difference, tight field, bit of magic centrally. I do see Hayes making a difference, maybe this is the game for the more physical Duk. We have to play much faster, run them off the park. Too slow which suits them perfectly.

Half time where Goodwin makes his money hopefully.

Hayes and Duk coming on

Morris and Kennedy going off.

Kennedy and Morris off at HT, no surprise there, Hayes and Duk on to win it for us....

1-0 Besuijen looked suspiciously like handball. 

best goal ever 🤣

Who'd have thought that taking off yer shite players would have such an impact. We're much better. Well done Vinny. Should have had a pen a few minutes earlier.

I still don't see how the ref missed that. It was right in front of him.

Wonder what his username is..

And has he signed the energy crisis petition yet?

Good header, but fuck me, shite goal and time to lose a goal. Need to up the ante again.

Just got in. Where's miovski?

Ps I almost called it. Thought we'd have the quality to get it done in 90

Stayed out longer drinking than intended so only got the game on now.

What the actual.fuck is going on chaps ?

Annan's current run of form

Albion Rovers 2-2

East Kilbride 1-1

Stirling 1-2

Dumbarton 0-4

They're second bottom of League 2. 

We better destroy this mob in extra-time to make up for the previous 90.

Duk 

1-2

3-1.

Shame on all of you who panicked too early and doubted us.

Vinnie again 😉

Looks like if I'd spent less time drinking Mythos and more time watching this, then there wouldn't have been any problem

The one thing I will say in the teams defence tonight is this pitch is well narrow.  61 metres.  For context Tynecastle pre new main stand was 64 (its 68 now), Pittodrie is 66, hampden (renowned for being very wide) is 70. This was always going to be a stodgy game for us, Goodwin likes his wingers. 

Ryan Duncan may have played his way into the starting 11, he's been excellent since he came on. 

Clarkson 4-1

Okay fine, Aberdeen you're forgiven.

Perhaps it was a case of the Players finding Annan to be such a delightful place that they decided to stay for an extra 30mins

Better second half performance from little of the first I saw. Scoreline definitely flattered us but fuck it, we're through to the next round.
