logie skid boys Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Nearly every player we wanted rid off Jim has shipped out and now his attention is on Bates and McLennan , expect them gone soon. Fantastic turnaround in few months .Reading more about Roberts and reasons he was playing lower leagues gives me lot more hope that he could indeed be great asset up top. . Still think Ronan will end up here and with Barron back end August the squad gives me big hopes of great season ahead . . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic St Mirren strip. They were wearing that when I went to my first game on March 3rd 1984 at Pittodrie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth if we had had results like Hibs, St Mirren and St Johnstone. I wonder how we would have got on had Stephen Glass still been in charge, moot point, no doubt. Busy transfer window, too. Probably get a hiding at Parkhead, but what's new? I know it's very, very early days, but you must be hating our season so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, pleased so far, o.k. we should be expected to see off lower league opposition, but how many times have expectations been met this last 18 months? I wasn't over enthused about Jim Goodwin's appointment, but, as always, was prepared to give him time and support him as the Dons' manager. Was starting to wonder about the correctness of his appointment as we stumbled to the end of last season, but he seems to know what he wants re players etc and has gone about getting them. We'll see how he fares out when the league starts, but I certainly don't anticipate a season like the last one. (Not that I anticipated that last season would turn out the way it did.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, I am more inclined towards your normal way of thinking. We've done really well but we have given away easy chances to the opposition in all four matches. I'm just not sure about the new defence, apart from Scales, and am really worried about Richardson, Hancock and Roos on Sunday. I'm desperate to be proved wrong, but I would be a lot happier to be starting with any of our following five league matches than Celtic away. I'll be back to my positive self after Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've read a lot of this, and I've obviously no idea as I haven't seen us play. Nevertheless, despite all the worry and angst, no goals conceded yet. Anything less than a 7 or 8 goal scudding against them could nearly be considered a win, so let's take it from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like that wasn't so at the weekend with only 8 efforts on goal (6 on target) and 5 corners against Raith. (League) Cup half empty or half full? I'll keep my whinging and greeting for a few weeks yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We maybe we’re a little lucky to go in 2 up at the break but we could easily have had 5 if Ramirez had his shooting boots on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I expect we'll be less adventurous against Celtic, but still very unconvinced by our defensive capabilities. Maybe they'll be rusty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I expect we'll be less adventurous against Celtic, but still very unconvinced by our defensive capabilities. Maybe they'll be rusty. Celtic generally get up for games against the likes of ourselves, Hearts or Hibs if any are actually showing a bit of form.The other times they seem to try that bit harder domestically are on the first or last games of the season when they have all that flag-waving stuff.Still if we go in with the attitude of a Cluj, Ferencvaros or Bodø Glimt and aren’t mentally beaten before kicking a ball, then who knows?Goodwin suggested at the Q&A tonight that we now have the attacking players to cause them problems and will be positive - we’ll see how that goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
