How long have you been an Aberdeen fan? We are by default glass half full. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a lot to be miserable about, to be fair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bloody long time actually time teaches you that it doesn't matter if it's a glass half empty/full, as long as the bottle's there to top it up (even if on occasion the bottle turns out to be a bit flat/corked/very cheap blend). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Quote from Jim in the Scotsman "We have five very good central midfielders now in the two new ones, [Connor] Barron, Clarkson and [Ylber] Ramadani." Looks like McCrorie is definitely a defender then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's currently our first choice RB. He's good enough there in games where he doesn't have much to defend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good enough there in games where he doesn't have much to defend. Feel a bit for him that he’s almost mid 20s and not nailed down a permanent position. He can look good when he goes on a driving run from deep but these never actually amount to goal or even chance creation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 For meeting each other yesterday, Shinnie and Ramadani look promising as a partnership. Kennedy grafts but offered little going forward. Twice a ball was played to where he should be. Instead he's wanting to get the ball in front of the defender then run across the pitch. Hayes came on and looked poor. No wonder Duncan wants away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrational Behaviour Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Our support this season has been fantastic. Must give credit to the ultras group as they kept going all game, once again. Don't think there's been many times in recent history where we would have got 14k after a run of 5 games without a win. Averaging over 15k and consistently taking over 1k to away games despite all the travelling we've got to do. 13k off to Hampden next week too. Love our support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see us sign a left sided winger as we seem to have a number of right sided ones and as today showed we are much more potent with Duk through the middle than out wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like us to give Ryan Duncan a go there, aye for more than one match, when I see the likes of Kennedy getting start after start and delivering nothing I’d be pissed off if I was Duncan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I would start Duk through the middle at Hampden, with Miovski on the bench. I can't see it happening, but the latter is out-of-form and seems to struggle more in games where we don't have the majority of possession. It would allow us to get another body behind Duk, too. Clarkson is probably nailed-on, and then two from Hayes, Kennedy and Besuijen either side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 A midfield 3 of shinnie, ramadani and clarkson ‘should’ be about as close as we’ve been for years to having the balance of aggression, impetus, ability to retain possession and creativity that we’ve had since shinnie, jack, McLean/Christie. Hopefully myslovic can add to that. Id be dropping miovski next week too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinnie was very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
