mrcat1990 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 So this game is the Scottish equivalent of "Super Sunday" despite nobody giving a shit probably about it bar those attending. Fraser has to start as I'd imagine he must be back to 100%, also hoping for the return of Higgy. We've done surprisingly ok in his absence but I for one can't wait to see him back. Aberdeen will obviously go in as favourites but they also did against us last time at Firhill in February, a result I'm still celebrating. 2-0 to Aberdeen is my guess.

andrew1903 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 It's crazy how long we have gone without a 3 o'clock KO. It will have been over 2 months once the Hamilton game gets under way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagyar Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Higginbotham is definitely a match winner, but my worry is we become to reliant on him. More of a team effort without him and we've proved we can get results in his absence. Definitely bring Fraser in, for Craigen. And with Seabourne and Frans at the back we should be a stiffer problem for Dons strikers this time. Going for a 1-1 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 A draw would be an OK result. Lawless has been good with Higginbotham being out. If he's back on Sunday I'd like us to still keep using other players rather than just "gie the baw to Higgy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I genuinely couldn't care less if we played the "pass the Higgy to score" route every game he's available, as long as it gets the right results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 The only time we've looked competent vs Aberdeen since we came up was the one game we played Lyle Taylor and he destroyed Anderson, scored 2 and should have scored 4 or 5. Every other game against them we've hardly threatened and been handily beaten. I'd be trying to get as much pace in the attack as possible for this one. Should be a decent test of our new CB partnership as well. I'm sure I read McMillan is suspended for this, if so I'd be tempted to play Bannigan at left back ahead of Carroll which would allow Fraser to come into the midfield. Sunday games suck a massive bucket of penises though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not. I'd imagine we'd be at the wrong end of the cards given chart, every week we seem to pick up more cards than the opposition. edit: we are indeed. Bunch of animals. Though that says McMillan has only picked up 5 bookings- have the rules changed or have the stats missed one? Also odd looking at that suspension list- David Rowson and Gavin Rae have both retired, are their names going to stay on that forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Pretty sure my Airdrie supporting mate said BRE has picked up a few too many this season aswell, Thistle are mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Madaschi Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Aaron Muirhead inspiring the team to be almost as mental as he is. On the game, I think Aberdeen will edge it, but if Higgy is back and on form and frans and seabo continue to impress at the back then anything is possible.

OTIG_FTOF Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Pretty sure my Airdrie supporting mate said BRE has picked up a few too many this season aswell, Thistle are mental. Since he signed for us (and went straight to Airdrie, did not pass go, did not collect £200), Airdrie have had 11 league games (he has not featured in any of their scottish cup games (2 games v Morton), signalling we don't want him cup-tied). Of the 11 league games he's been with them, he has played in 10. He missed one league game due to being suspended. His stats are played 10. Booked in 7. Yesterday was a rare no yellow day for BRE. Not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I think we'll get a draw from this one. In fact, with Frans and Seaborne at the back you could argue we'll never lose again. I'm absolutely skint so will probably watch this one on the TV. I've only made 5 matches this season, and only 2 at Firhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also odd looking at that suspension list- David Rowson and Gavin Rae have both retired, are their names going to stay on that forever? I think the names disappear from that list eventually, there was a few on it for most of last season who just were removed and I imagine the SFA just keep a record in case they return to football. SLJ mentioned that McMillan has 6 if you include the cups I think but I didn't realise they counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I think people have just invented the idea that we're reliant on Higginbotham. We've done just fine without him and even against the likes of ICT and Ross County he hardly dragged us to victory. On the evidence so far if we're reliant on anyone it's Seaborne. Probably Osman too but thankfully he's always been available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMillan has 6 bookings in the league namely - 16th August v Dundee, 19th Sept v St. Mirren, 4th October v Motherwell, 18th October v Dundee Utd, 25th October v St. J, 1st November v Hamilton Accies Pretty sure my Airdrie supporting mate said BRE has picked up a few too many this season aswell, Thistle are mental. It appears BRE will be spending his Saturday serving a suspension as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerbase should be amazing, but it's shite. It still has Christie Elliott listed as a goalkeeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the club's "monitoring" the fitness of a few players, including Osman. An injury to him would scupper your suggestion, which I agree with incidentally. Add Welsh to those that are definitely out for Sunday (knee injury, one month). Eccleston and O'Donnell the other players with issues. Worse case would be a back four of Muirhead, Frans, Seaborne and Carroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
