Aberdeen v Heart of Midlothian (Scottish Cup)

We should win this, but its two fragile, inconsistent teams who you just cant trust one half to another - let alone game to game - so it could go either way.

Depends who turns up - hmmm.

We have the key advantages in that we have genuine pace and width, things they simply dont have. At Hampden its a significant advantage - if you exploit it right.

If Jimmy sets up right, plays to our clear strengths over them, doesnt fuuck up his subs AND the players show the right mindset FOR 90 MINUTES then we win.

Lot of ifs that though.

I've seen us sh1t the bed at Hampdung so often I too have the fear.
I could see them choking the game and sucker punching us.
I hope I'm wrong, obviously.

I get that, but what I am pinning my hopes on is that Critchley is trying to play a certain style, which isn't the usual kind of fitba Hearts play, which is more in line what you would see at Murrayfield.

It could well be a ****show of a game and not going to be much between the teams.

We need to play for 90 plus minutes on Saturday the way we did for the first 45 on Sunday. If we do that then we should prevail.

I agree. The starting team against Rangers is more than capable of ripping apart Hearts. It?s the subs that bring along the problems.

Jensen on the right and Shinnie on the left?.no other combination is better at full back. Stop changing it around!

Apparently Mitov, Malloy and McGrath are all available for tomorrow. No word on Tobers.

I didn't think we'd see McGrath back again.

Certainly wouldn't be near squad for next Saturdays game.

Any suggestions for pubs near the ground tomorrow?

Might be an idea if Jimmy just made subs when he had to, rather than after a planned time, if that's what he does?
