Aberdeen v Motherwell

[Irrational Behaviour 47]

Can't imagine many of our support are looking forward to this. 

Motherwell have a handy record at Pittodrie too.

I suspect we'll have numerous players out of this fixture due to injury: Leigh, McCrorie, Taylor, Devlin, Hayes and McGeouch.

For me, we need to change to a back four again. 3-4-3 hasn't worked for us since the injury of Watkins and the Main/Cosgrove partnership has never paid off. Assuming the above players are missing, I think we'll go along the lines of:

Lewis

Logan, Hoban, Considine, Ngwenya 

Ferguson, Campbell

Kennedy, Hedges, McLennan

Main

 

[Swello 5,348]

As long as Dependable Joe Lewis is in goals, most Motherwell supporters will be quite happy.

[Dons_1988 12,208]

Motherwell again? 

[10menwent2mow 498]

Having watched most of the game at Fir Park I can only see this being an absolutely turgid watch. Then again, Alexander may set Motherwell up slightly more attacking than they were that day. An absolutely honking 1-0 Aberdeen I'd say.

[Suspect Device 1,525]

Who cares?

 

Is this league not null and void yet?

This thread needs a bit of positivity:

It is 300 minutes since Aberdeen scored against Motherwell (Zak Vyner in October 2019)

Given our current state of affairs, it's hard to think of a worse game coming up than this one.

I think all of the next four games coming up have a chance of being equally honking for us. The Livi double bill in particular fills me with dread considering how we’re playing.

Aberdeen fans.
We need the points and you need Derek out.

So let’s just agree and get behind Alexander the Great’s conquest of the North-East.

1-0 Motherwell

1-0 Motherwell

Look, we're still perfectly capable of trying our hardest and getting gubbed by Motherwell. No pre-game agreements necessary.

[YassinMoutaouakil 6,657]

We seem like the more confident set of fans going into this one so obviously 3-0 Aberdeen.

[thisGRAEME 3,782]

Motherwell win.

If not, Alexander out.

He must be aware that standards must be maintained.

If we concede at any point I'd sack him on the spot, MJC style.

Probably the first time this season I won’t bother paying for a home game stream 

Can’t be fucked with another 90 minutes of dross

That's a fairly depressing line-up.

When was the last year we conceded against this mob?

What only the 1,confident however we will get the nil.

Hope i'm wrong obviously.

Spare seat on coach for return journey for Main be great .

More of the same, great for 45 minutes, backs to the wall for the 2nd 45.

It's Aberdeen though, so 3-0 Well.

This has been a really weird fixture for the past few years - that 3-0 earlier in the season and the one where Danny Johnson scored a double at Fir Park and we also won 3-0 were totally out of the blue. Similarly, Aberdeen absolutely hammered us 3-0 at Fir Park in Oct 2019 in what most folk thought would be a close one as we were on good form at the time.

Ngewnya looked like a little boy lost v County

Pivotal game this, for AFC. Vultures are already circling around McInnes, another shit display and result and he’s under major pressure.
