So, miserable wet day in Glasgow. My first time at Firhill . surprisingly , given I`ve had about 40 yrs to get there !
Fine change spending a day in Glasgow for th football and being comfortable mingling with the Home support I must say.
So, McInnes changes it around again. Sets up a team to stop Partick playing with Ball as a defensive midfielder , and pushes the Norwich loanee further up the park. While dropping one of wingers to keep Christie in the side , playing out of his best position wide left. Not a good start.
Amazingly ( for Deek, but nobody else ) no-one in our team seems to know where each other is , on the park. Christie is out of sorts, May runs about trying to make space for a pass. Which never comes, as everybody else is used to dinking it out to the wings , for our fantastic wingers,...who, oh aye they`re not there. Well, Mcginn is , sort of......
Ball , as he isn`t normally in the team and ence has no expactation of what he is meant to be doing , decides to just try and play football. He does ok at that, and as nobody else in the team seems to have a scooby , it makes him look like the best player in our team. So , he does ok. Better than AOC it would appear. Fair play, McKenna plays well. Wins all the headers, and eventually decides to try taking the ball up the park and actually passing it to another Dons player. Probably being fed up with it being lumped up the field just to be headed back his way by Partick.
Half Time. A brief respite from the tedium. Partick have played their usual tidy passing game that gets nowhere. Dons, well, have not even tried that.
Secondhalf. Ach, it didn`t get any better. Deek finally makes a change. He takes Ball off. Proibably for trying to play football as opposed to " sticking to the plan" ( Plan ???!! ) Christie stays stuck out wide. Then Mcginn is moved from the Left wing to the right. Then taken off for last 10 minutes. And that great rightwinger Stewart is put on out there. ( As the Stand screams for Christie to be removed !! )
Well that was it. ) - ). And the Partick massive are celebrating a ni l nil draw. Made their day. Good luck to them !!
Thats it really. So on to Killie on Tuesday,..............Lets hope we try playing 2 wingers ON THE wINGS and Rooney waiting for it in the 6 yard area,........don`t hold your breath.
