AR851903 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 We've had the better of Thistle so far this season. Would be hoping for another 3 points here. A further win against ICT would all but wrap up 2nd surely too. This has to be the game when Shankland gets a real chance. 2-0 Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 A lot of folk will say we've played well against the top 6 this season- more accurate to say we've played well against the teams in 3rd-6th, as we haven't laid a glove on either Aberdeen or Celtic in the 5 matches this season, current aggregate score across those games is 13-0. Just as well our next two games are Aberdeen and Celtic then. Can't see too many changes to the team that finally broke the back to back wins jinx, I'd maybe have been looking to play Taylor given the only time we've scored vs Aberdeen since promotion he ripped the hole out of their defence but I assume he won't get back until Thursday morning so we'll probably stick with Doolan. Not expecting much from this, 2-0 Aberdeen would be my guess, but you never know, maybe we're destined for 3 wins in a row and never 2; also hoping Celtic, Dundee United, and Killie can do us favours. What a grim time of the season this is when you're hoping for those teams to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colliedug Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I would take any favours from that trio of s##t at this time in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I think we will beat both Aberdeen and Celtic. Especially Celtic, it's about time we gave them a doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_14 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 3-0 us I would hope. And Shankland to actually get at least half an hour please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingswellsRed Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hopefully a Flood free 3-0. Am I asking too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I think we will beat both Aberdeen and Celtic. Especially Celtic, it's about time we gave them a doing. I hope you're half right. The second half, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Can't imagine Taylor will start due to international duty. I wouldn't think there would be any other changes. Going to this. First time to Pittodrie and I haven't seen us win since Morton in the cup (or the first game of the season in the league). Hoping that hoodoo breaks, but can we really win three in a row?

RussellAnderson Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Who did Lyle Taylor get called up to represent? Thought he was English no? As far as our team is concerned, please to god I hope we don't see Willo playing. It is so obvious that Jack plays twice as well when he's not there and against a bottom half team at home we should be able to play a few more forwards. Play Shankland from the start too, he's shown he's worth a shot. Otherwise, a familiar team. Keep McLean in there til he at least scores, want him to get off the mark A$AP to get his confidence up. Keep Pawlett on the bench to use as an impact player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Back to back wins, and 3 wins from 4 (all against top half opposition), should leave us more optimistic than we usually are. 3-0 Aberdeen sound about right in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor challenger Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Booked an overnight so making a weekend of it. Fancy Thistle to take something from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTIG_FTOF Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The late surge for Top 6 is still on. Beat the sheep, the victims and notsowell, and we could mathematically still get 6th by split. Believe and all them other cliches that's picked out the 50/50 tombola. Surprised the players haven't mentioned Top Six in past couple of weeks, we need to get back to that positive mentality and public proclamations of ambitions. Okay nurse, I'm switching off the computer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Anyway, Thistle to get royally pumped 1-0. Hopefully Shankland gets a half. Pals with our very own Donervern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Might be unlikely, but no one should be surprised if we do take something from this match. It would sum up our whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Can't see too many changes to the team that finally broke the back to back wins jinx, I'd maybe have been looking to play Taylor given the only time we've scored vs Aberdeen since promotion he ripped the hole out of their defence but I assume he won't get back until Thursday evening so we'll probably stick with Doolan. FTFY Going to this. First time to Pittodrie and I haven't seen us win since Morton in the cup (or the first game of the season in the league). Hoping that hoodoo breaks, but can we really win three in a row? Well, that's us fucked then. Pals with our very own Donervern? Daniels isn't in the squad AFAIK. I'm surprised that Aberdeen don't have MD 20/20 or cans of Strongbow? They better have an off-license that does bottles of MD 20/20 orange jubilee as that will be my drink of choice on the way home.
