Could maybe get away with Considine on the left of a three, but it would put too much pressure on Taylor to distribute the ball, which is by far the weakest aspect of his game (likewise with Devlin). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right Joey, sticking it to Mark Hateley, Iain Ferguson, Paul 'What did you think of Gazza?' Gascoigne & some of their followers. Also enjoyed the story about Ron Atkinson coming up to Chick Young & doing an Only an Excuse impression of him. What I wouldn't give for Jess to be playing off Gillhaus on Saturday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy coming in to the attack. I think McInnes would start with Logan if he could this week as he puts a lot of faith in trust but Hernandez will surely become the regular right back at some point in the opening stages of the season. This is roughly what I thought was most likely, except in more of a 4-2-3-1 with Ojo and Ferguson at the base. Going by DM's interview on RedTV yesterday, though, I have a feeling he might leave Bryson on the bench for now and probably start McGeouch (or possibly Campbell) instead on Saturday. It was also mentioned in Lewis's interview post-Hibs that Hayes was at left-back for that game, so it will be interesting to see if he remains there on Saturday - of course, that would likely mean one of Taylor or Considine being on the bench, which seems unlikely. I think Kennedy will probably start, too. If it is going to be Anderson upfront, I think that means Ferguson would likely have to be in the number 10 position as our midfielder with the most aerial presence, so we have some sort of target to try and hit in the absence of Cosgrove and Main. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Gordon Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 It's pretty hard to judge Saturday's line-up, given the lack of information around friendlies, as previous posters have mentioned. However, assuming that Cosgrove (I'm pretty sure I haven't imagined this) & Main are injured & Logan will be back-up RB, I would go with this: Lewis Henandez/McKenna/Considine/Hayes Ojo/Bryson McGinn/Ferguson/Kennedy Anderson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but my pal read on Twitter that Cosgrove was spotted outside the club ship on crutches. Didn't give it much thought as they'd be doing the physio work at Cormack Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Just hoping the Sun are basing it on twitter and Forum chat as per usual. If true, we need McKenna out pronto. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Has there been any update on Main after his knee surgery? Despite Anderson's goals in pre-season, I'd still fancy Main to start on Saturday in Cosgrove's absence if he is fit enough, but I haven't really seen or heard anything about his progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastecoatwilly Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 5 hours ago, kingjoey said: Another great interview with Eoin Jess Footballer on the Sportsound podcast today, which isn’t even spoiled by the presence of Chick Young. He is an absolute legend for ensuring that Aberdeen got a fee from Coventry, rather him furthering his career with Sampdoria, who only wanted him on a Bosman. Also a few great stories putting the boot into Rangers. Fabulous stuff. It just shows if it wasn't for Jess Aberdeen wouldn't have got that transfer fee,strange coincidence we were posting about that last week. 4 hours ago, Golden Gordon said: What I wouldn't give for Jess to be playing off Gillhaus on Saturday.

The youngsters that have stepped up during McInnes' time normally get a real run of games when the shits either hit the fan or we've had a mad spell of injuries. Could be Bruce's time to shine. Main definitely looks to be back in training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the best option as he isn’t very good anyway but would still command a fee required to balance the books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
