Mind you I'm a Dons fan so 3 points in 6-0 win and I'd still find something to moan about. I didn't say I'd be happy. I said I'd probably be happy enough... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Given the difference in resources it's pretty wild how little there was between the sides when it was Robinson vs McInnes. We were: P 13 W 6 D 1 L 6 F 16 A 11 New managers now though. In the one fixture Alexander had last season we were pretty much in the game up at Pittodrie until Polworth had his shitfit and sold the jerseys. We were 1-0 down but we'd hit the post and should have had a penalty. Interesting to see how Alexander's #Murderball goes in a game like this as there are still massive work-in-progress vibes around us. Then again, you could probably say that Aberdeen are a side in transition just now as well. At least the bulk of their signings are known quantities in this league eg: Gallagher, Brown, JET. Cards on the table lads...I'd absolutely take a point right now. Edited September 10, 2021 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 There is an actual law that states that we must hand out one 3-0 doing to Aberdeen per season, regardless of how bad we are playing in the run up - so I expect that to be delivered tomorrow to keep things tidy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, 1 x annual shoeing, with Lewis chucking in his obligatory comedy goal would be a satisfactory outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 For the 'well boiyz. How long to walk from Fir Park to the train station (Motherwell, not Airbles) ??? I have to get the 17.17 to Glasgow, but judging by Google maps, walking will cut it a bit fine... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a 15 minute walk. If the train arrives in Motherwell station at 17.17 and you leave at about 16.50 then you should be fine. Might want to plan the quickest route as I believe going pass the council car park and past asda is the quickest path. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 That's probably about right (but tight) for the home support but assuming you're leaving from the south stand I'd add on another 5-10 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your midfield and our defence lining up facing each other in a Braveheart style, then chaaarge. The ref to pop the ball into the middle of whatever is left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel that Ramirez needs a strike partner in order to bring the best out of him however. I can understand wanting Gallagher for McCrorie although I disagree. Can't understand Longstaff for Ojo though, as that would leave us with 3 very similar midfielders in the middle. Ojo has been very good so far, and without Hedges fit I'd prefer him to Hayes, McGinn, or McLennan on current form. We've certainly got plenty of options now, which is pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I wonder if Glass will be tempted by three at the back more often. McCrorie would probably suit the right of the three, given his ability to progress the ball, and it would give him a bit more protection defensively. Mackenzie did well on the left of a three away at Qarabag and has the nous to play there, I think. Gallagher would also suit the middle of a three, I think - he’s done it well for Scotland, if I recall correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
