d31 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Sounds like St Mirren fans are not hopeful for this one which is encouraging. As an Aberdeen fan though I never get too far ahead of me. I'd guess it'll be the same starting XI as against Ross County since we did so well. The only slight argument i'd put forward would be to start Edmondson up front as with Cosgrove and Main back for the following game he's probably missing out of the match day squad at that point and we've not even seen what he has got. That change would be in place of McGinn with Watkins playing his first game deeper. That might also be worth an experiment given as above that Cosgrove and Main are now back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralstonite Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Aberdeen got turned over by Motherwell recently, which gives me hope. But we can't seem to score more than a single goal in a game, so it's hard to see us getting more than a point. Realistically, 3-1 Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave away a daft pen minutes in and then Lewis gave them a goal. We were up against it from there and Motherwell played very well. Looks like it may have been a blip. Hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell played very well however the breaks that went against us dictated the result. I honestly believe Aberdeen would have won had they played the usual starting eleven. Far too many changes made in the starting 11 that day, the penalty was soft, Lewis (its been coming in fairness) makes a hash of his kick and the sun was blinding everyone defending that corner for their third. After all that their tails were up and had absolutely no pressure (they knew they'd won at the game after 20 mins in). Motherwell deserved to win but it could have been avoided. I believe it was a blip. Still a fantastic start to the season hopefully continued this Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing not to create more in Lisbon, bit too negative in the game. Garbage against them 1st game, and the Motherwell game ( who were 3rd last season) Funnily enough, they are the 3 best teams to have faced. Does this mean we are a team who can play against lesser opponents but going to struggle in the big games? Would this be a mentality thing or just a soft touch when it really matters? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Hibs and arguably Viking Stavanger not be classed as better than this season's Motherwell? That game, from our point of view, was a mesh of slightly mitigating circumstances that contributed to a pumping that at one point looked to be getting embarrassingly out of control. St Mirren for a while was a gimme for us, but in the last couple of years has become a harder fixture..............with a couple of recent struggles down there, and the 2-2 game up here still fresh in the mind. The first goal seems to be everything in our games this season - and in some ways an early goal for the Saints might prove a decent test on whether our current best XI are indeed capable of coming back from adversity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the St Mirren that you played in the cup last season? Didn't really do much; broadly disappointing, despite having taken the game to Motherwell in the previous round... that's who were are every game now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 You have a decent side capable of pushing for a place in the top 6. I don't think its going to be as straight forward a result as some on here would have you believe. I'm anticipating Aberdeen to have most of the possession but to be limited to a few key chances. I could easily see St Mirren grabbing a goal on the counter. I think we'll win but the scoreline will be closer. I hope I'm wrong and we win 3-0.[emoji3][emoji3] We'll do the jokes here[emoji106] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I would like to see us stick with the starting team from last weekend - it was probably our most complete and dominant ninety minute performance so far this season, even if Ross County weren't up to much. I'm dangerously relaxed about this and expecting us to win fairly comfortably if we can continue to play in a similar vein, which probably means three points for St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
