RussellAnderson Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Second cup final, 100% record. I'm a good luck charm laaads. Going into the final in good nick, great to see Jack and McLean working together in the middle of the park, couple of options with regards to lineups. We'll probably see McGinn coming in for Stockley, and we might have a CB in for Maddison, put Considine to LB and Shinnie into the centre. Either way, feeling positive, if a little apprehensive, going into this...!!! COYFR!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'm 3 from 7 in cup finals. Never seen us beat Celtic (missed the Snelders/Irvine final). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 3rd for me. One win one loss so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Celtic fairly unstoppable this season and very hard to see any weaknesses to target whatsoever. Running at the full backs one on one if its Lustig and Izaguirre and if they've played the 90 minutes versus Barcelona might be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I would like to see us go with a similar team to yesterday, apart from McGinn in for Stockley. Celtic have proved in every domestic game that, however defensively you set out your team, they'll get through eventually. In both games this season we did manage to cause them problems when we actually went for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weejoeharper Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The only hope we have is to come out with all guns blazing and trust that for once we actually take our chances. So in the spirit of optimism I'll go for a 2-0 to the Dons. My first cup final was in 1976 against Celtic, 2-1. We didn't expect to win, just like now, and it was so sweet when it came. Particularly on the back of a 5-1 win against Rangers, Jocky Scott hat-trick. That night was just wonderful and again so unexpected. You just never know what might happen! We could get papped 10-0. Lets hope not. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milnzo Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Same starting eleven as yesterday. Dropping Considine is a ridiculous shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Apprehensive about this. I'm not sure I like games that could either be one of the best days of my dons supporting career or more likely a crushing, soul destroying disappointment. It's all very stressful.

CityDave Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Celtic will be nervous coming into this one. Not sure what the team will be after Wednesday night's vital match to get them into the Europa League, should they prioritise the Barca game or this so called there for the taking cup semi? With the extra effort needed against Barca (they obviously would be able to coast through that like a domestic match) it could cost them a couple of important players. I suppose it won't matter anyway, Celtic only have to turn up at a national cup semi final to have it won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't expect to win in 1970 either, thought it would be a repeat of 1967, but I was gloriously wrong there, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR851903 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 One win two defeats for me. Hope its 2-2 after next weekend.If we score first then we have a real chance but if Celtic score first then I think we'll struggle to overturn that.Same team as the last two games would be exciting but I can't see it.

DrewDon Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Lewis; Logan, O'Connor, Considine, Shinnie; Jack, McLean; McGinn, Maddison, Hayes; Rooney. That is my preferred starting team, but I suppose I don't have to think as deeply about it as McInnes does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 With the squad fully fit, we need to see the players in their correct positions. I worry McInnes will be tempted to bring in Taylor/Reynolds and shift Consi to LB and Shinnie into the middle for more physicality. DrewDon's team is probably our best shout, with Burns and Stockley on the bench for extra pace/physicality as needed. I'm gonna be a wreck by the end of the week.....
