I don’t want McInnes out (and I don’t think I ever will, too scared of the Mark McGhee boogeyman) but he is so fucking predictable. Why in f**k’s name is he not giving Wilson the game time to develop?! What was the point in signing a guy who you know isn’t the finished article and then not allowing him the opportunity to become the player he can be? Play him against that Hibs midfield, they’re soft as shit. Instead we play Main and Cosgrove together and we do f**k all. Main can f**k off. The rest of the players just don’t seem to have the energy/drive/strategy/call it what you want, to actually go out and stamp any authority on games. We’re so passive and win/don’t lose (same thing right??) because Cosgrove kens where the net is. Huge game at Motherwell, and we won’t be favourites. Wilson's injured just now and couldn't have played against Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Having a conversation at work about lasts nights game, and one of the topics was Mikey Devlin's place in the team/squad. Not fishing, genuinely want to known out of curiousity, if you guys have everyone fit, does Devlin make your strongest XI? And would he get a game ahead of Considine? Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When fit and on form, Devlin and McKenna are the best CB pairing in the country. Considine is underrated and rarely lets us down, but McKenna and Devlin should be the first choice pairing when both available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Devlin looked great at the start of last season but hasn't looked quite the same since coming back from a long term injury. The fact that when a half fit McKenna came back against Hibs it was Devlin that was dropped rather than Considine probably says a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I really like devlin but he hasn’t been on form for about a year. And it hasn’t just been iffy, it’s been very poor. The devlin of a year ago would get my full backing for Scotland but we’ve seen a different player since his injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think Considine has better defensive instincts, is more robust and has a better reading of the game. I don't think Devlin could produce some of the performances Considine did against a striker like Morelos last season, for example. It would be great if Devlin could begin to find the form that he showed when he first got fit and started playing for us, but it feels like a very long time ago now. There might be a case for Considine at left-back in certain games which would make space for Devlin alongside McKenna, but if it's a straight choice between Devlin and Considine, I'm taking Considine at the moment.

Bryson told his agent to get him a move to Killie in March but the club never followed up, wages were never an issue for him just wanted to move home.

A central defender who cant do contact defending and who thinks he's some beckenbaueresqe ball playing centre back cause he takes 4 or 5 touches before lumping it aimlessly up the pitch. I also cant trust a centre back in his mid 30s with a hairband. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD1711 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi, I'm currently doing a report as part of my coursework for Uni and I'm talking about the alienation and commodification in football, I'm speaking about the MK Dons case and how the move alienated the fans, how are the Aberdeen fans feeling about the move to Westhill? Obviously this is a less extreme case for Aberdeen as they are moving 7 miles rather than the 80 that MK Dons did, but any input would be appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many posters they have from the Ferranti/Meadowbank days but you should really post this on the Livi thread.

Excuse my ignorance but did MK Dons move anywhere? As far as I’m aware they have always played in Milton Keys - hence the name. As said above speak to Meadowbank fans. Clyde had an actual relocation as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK Dons were originally Wimbledon so I assume they were located in Wimbledon. Ever since the name change they've been located in Milton Keynes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a furore about it being the thin end of the wedge for "franchise football" in a US style. Kingsford Dons has a nice ring to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
