ABERDEEN v Partick Thistle

[PittodriePile]

Yesterday was Boxing Day. Did you not know it was a holiday?

Holiday for some...

[Don_Corleone]

Lewis
Logan Arnason McKenna Harvey
Shinnie
GMS McLean Christie Stewart
Rooney

Wish we had another option instead of Rooney as he's off the boil - although this is the kind of game where we should have possession and chances so maybe it's the game he'll pop up with a goal or two. I'd like to see Wright and Ross getting a bit more time but think Del will stick with GMS and Stewart to build their confidence. I think he might give Harvey a chance at left back in a home game where we're likely to have much of the ball.

He might be injured or ill.
I find it hard to believe he wouldn’t have a “striker” on the bench if available.

Maynard could well be injured or ill. Why four defenders on the bench?

[RED_JOHN]

Arnason and Ball, likewise O'C can be utilised in midfield / There is no-one else. We know the squad is uneven and lacking in midfield/wide options.

But this was rhetorical yes? You're just having a go, again. Bloody hell you tedious buggers have me (me!) defending DM choices...

Lol...what about Campbell? Maybe he is injured or ill also.

[RED_JOHN]

Ball in the net after a corner but Rooney penalised for high feet

GMS switched flanks to left also for now

If still 0-0 at half time I would hope that Wright would be brought on as he has damaged Partick the last couple of times.

[RedStarTorphins]

Dreadful stuff.
Unentertaining sh1te so far.
No strikers on bench either.

Dreadful stuff . Not much to warm the cockles on such a freezing evening.
