There's going to be a lot of pressure on our players and manager - 4 defeats in a row is unthinkable.

I think he'll have to freshen the team up. I think Ferguson is suspended?

He'll see this as a game we need to scrape through, so it'll be a team of battlers that he'll put out. I could see him playing both Main and Cosgrove and playing one of them on the left wing, but claiming afterwards he went with a positive lineup with 2 strikers.

I may change my mind before Sunday but the way my mood is at the moment I fear the worst.

Likely be same as last night with Campbell replacing Ferguson.

Keep it tight, scrape a 1-0.

Gaadz!

If we lose on sunday I'll not be back f0r a couple of months. And I'll cancel my red tv. Shinie does m.y heed in anyway he's am apologist and a bore

massive game in the context of our season.
A loss would have the "Dons in crisis" headlines out.

After the European run around with 10 men for 75 minutes, and injuries and suspensions to contend with, it's hard to say what the team will be.

I'd go with an attack-minded line up, but I doubt DM will

My X1 would be;

Lewis
Logan Considine McKenna Leigh
McGinn Ojo Gallagher Hedges
Cosgrove Wilson

I think DM is more likely to put Dean Campbell in midfield

Who knows what the score will be.
I'll say we'll scrape by 2-1 but with no confidence.

I know they are "employed" by the club, but Messrs McDiarmid & Shinie's take on things is embarrassing.
They were apparently blaming the ref last night, which as straw clutching goes, is top of the class.

I know it was a tough ask of Main to come on with half an hour left, in a game that was long gone, but did he actually do anything right in that half hour?
No touch or control, everything just bounced off him.
Won little or nothing in the air.
A complete waste of a jersey.

The trouble is, folk like Wright, Main & McLennan proved last week they aren't up to it
Maybe that's a bit harsh on McLennan as he's just back from injury, but I'm not convinced by him.
The other two, my mind is made up. Not good enough
