All depends whether we can score more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Excited for this after the drudgery of the international break. Been a couple of weeks for the new signings to bed in, and I'm hopeful of a solid Dons win. Which probably means we'll get a pumping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 We’re due a 3-0 out of nowhere. The Norse God with a hat trick of headers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Going to be interesting to see who Bates teams up with in central defence. My money’s on Gallagher, but could be totally wrong. I would think that Samuels will start again and hopefully Hedges will make the bench. Ferguson should be pretty fired up with his two Scotland appearances, regardless of time spent on the pitch, and has proved to himself that he can get capped by staying at Aberdeen for the time being anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Must admit I’m looking forward to booing that baseball wielding thug. Hope he’s able to play with that gun against his head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays he will get the boo boy treatment, but I for one will not be joining in. Simply as he is an irrelevance to Motherwell. He had one good season ! One. Hardly worth giving a flying f**k imho. This will be a decent barometer of how the season will unfold. I think we have done well in the transfer window, but there is no doubt the Aberdeen team looks stronger on paper as it should with roughly double the wage budget. Bates looks like a very astute signing. Probably too early for the Norwegian adonis to start but we may be surprised. If so I would expect the following line up: Kelly O'Donnell Ojala Lamie McGinley Slattery Grimshaw O'Hara Roberts Van Veen Watt We may go 5 at the back and drop a forward. Plus you may see Woolery start ahead of Roberts, but based on early season performances I would have Roberts straight in the team. I hope that now that Scott Brown is in red and not green that means he gets a yellow card for 10 fouls rather than no card for 42 fouls !! I will go for a score draw to keep that positive momentum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I’d have Grimshaw and O’Hara nowhere near to starting 11 after their performances v Dundee. Maybe Goss? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I know he hasn't been great so far (don't think he has been as bad as people are making out, either), but it's still early days and I'd start Gallagher because I think you need a more natural stopper beside one of McCrorie or Bates if it's a back four. Looking at our options there now, I think it's one from Gallagher/Considine (with Considine injured at the moment, this choice makes itself) and one from McCrorie/Bates, provided it's a back four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only boo if he upended Watt in a rash tackle etc. However I will laugh out loud if any of his donkey attributes appear. Falling over, jumping under the ball, an o.g. etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never happy with just a point. Mind you I'm a Dons fan so 3 points in 6-0 win and I'd still find something to moan about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
