Mitch Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Are Aberdeen in the midst of a crisis yet or is it dependent on Motherwell beating them? If we beat them then they should close the club down and give up football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 There isn't a football cliché more boring than "if you're on a losing streak, don't worry, [insert team name] will help put an end to that for you as usual". Literally every set of fans seems to think this about their own team. If ever a team needs a result, we'll give it to them. Aberdeen are on a poor run and leaking goals so I fully expect them to beat us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I love beating Aberdeen, especially in their own midden and it's second only to beating Celtic for me in terms of pleasure and GIRUY purposes in football. Sadly though I don't see anything about us just now that suggests we are capable of getting a result here and I expect a defeat of at least two clear goals.

The_Craig Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The games against Celtic and Aberdeen were written off with Barraclogh at the helm and it's still the case with McGoo in charge. Id bite yer hand off for a boring 0-0 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Can't see past a comfortable home win unfortunately. Hopefully we shitfest this and play for a dodgy, undeserved last minute goal. Crawford Allan is ref, not Steven McLean so hopefully no last minute goal after an obvious foul followed by months on here of greeting Dons fans and gloating Well fans.

Swello Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Wonder if 1-0 Scot McDonald scorecast will be 120/1 again I've still got palpitations from that 20 minutes or however long that bet was up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kneetrembler Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Never in my 30 plus years of going to Pittodrie have I felt such a sense of dread before a game. Absolute bricking it. Might not even manage a pie before the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Never in my 30 plus years of going to Pittodrie have I felt such a sense of dread before a game. Absolute bricking it. Might not even manage a pie before the match. Seriously? I must've imagined the Alex Miller/Paterson/McGhee years because this current 'crisis' is a walk in the park compared to some of the shite I've sat through. Yes, expectations are different now but I'm not quite pressing the panic button yet. 2-0 the Dandies, Rooney double Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This will be an absolute shitfest. Objective - score at least one more goal than the opposition, go home, and head to Parkheid a week later with some level of optimism rather than complete dread.

williemillersmoustache Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Can't see Aberdeen losing this one. It's just a case of can they win it. Same. As if it's still nil nil come 90 odd minutes and they get a free kick I'll just gouge out my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each match I went to in expectation of a disappointment. Its the collective sigh of relief from the West if we continue to lose after such a fine start that I dread.

Guest Bushel o' Bricks Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Looking forward to the day out for this one; the football, not so much. There are very few games this season in which I can honestly say we've really played well (Inverness, first half against St Johnstone), and last week's dire performance against Celtic didn't provide much cause for optimism. Aberdeen's slump in form has been a surprise, but it's likely to come to an end on Saturday - nothing to do with that dire, overused cliche that "if ever a team needs a result, they'll get it against us", but simply because we don't look capable of getting a result and our away form in particular in 2015 has been so poor.If we line up in McGhee's favoured 4-3-3 again, I would go with:-------------------Ripley-------------------Watt---Kennedy---McManus---Chalmers------Grimshaw---Lasley---Pearson------------Clarkson---Fletcher---Thomas------With McGhee at the helm again, it would seem to be the ideal chance for Clarkson to come back into the fold. Johnson was poor last week and Thomas looked good on coming on from the bench yet again.As for predictions, I'll have to go with a 2-0 home win.

capt_oats Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Clarkson over Ainsworth there is a pretty bold move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bushel o' Bricks Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 He really needs a chance to show what he can do in the team. I don't understand why he hasn't had that yet as we've not exactly been setting the heather alight this season. Moult has popped up with a fair few goals, but the likes of Ainsworth and McDonald have gone right off the boil. He had an outstanding run of goalscoring form when he came into the team at Dundee last season and we could really use something like that.

capt_oats Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Agreed on McDonald but I thought Ainsworth was one of our best players against Thistle and started well against Dundee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
