Hearts v Aberdeen

[TheDeeDon]

Win and third is ours, but a draw would be decent too. Lose and it's squeaky bum time.

I'm hoping the knocks to some of our players on Saturday don't weaken us for this game as not much options on the bench, especially if MacDonald is out.

Barry has papered over the cracks so far with a limited squad, but still a lot of work required on the recruitment front this summer.

I wouldn't be starting with Coulson on the right for this one, as he was all over the shop on Saturday and didn't look comfortable. Hibs exploited that weakness.

Out for this one.

1-2 Duncan and Pollock

They're going to have to dig deep, we're running out of players.

A draw will do.

Yep, this.

If Duk’s out I really can’t see where a goal’s coming from in this one. They are absolutely coming for us and we’ll have no out ball at all as Miovski absolutely cannot play the loan target man up front type role.

This is also the game where those cheating SFA cuunts have really done us with the extra game ban for Shinnie - an absolute scandal Franco.

This is going to be a struggle as we’re always shyte down there and our paper thin squad is beginning to creak.

As I said on the spoon burners thread, if fit, I think we need McCrorie in midfield at Tynecastle or we’ll get bullied in there (Livi away springs to mind) so I’d be tempted to start with Richardson at RB. Gamble, but we can’t play Coulson at RB against Hearts or we’ll get absolutely destroyed down that wing.

We need another world class backs to the wall performance fae Roos and the back 3 again.

I’d absolutely take a draw right now, but honestly this one’s gonna be a struggle…

It’s not an ideal situation to be going into a game like that but on the plus side, Hearts are shyte

[Red Zone]

Given our terrible record down there and potential players missing I see any sort of result as an absolute bonus. Regardless of result as long as we beat St Mirren and sevco don't lose at home for the first time this season against hertz then we will be third (unless hibs have a crazy finish and win their last three games against sevco/celtic/hertz - isn't happening)

I'd take a draw right now.

Well, since Saturday`s precedent, " Studs to the Head, while in mid-air" is merely a Yellow Caed offence ? Right ??

Yes, and I said that the Hibee should only have had a yellow for it when all around me were howling fir a red. It’s one of a very few instances of common sense prevailing amongst all that “there was contact”/“he was entitled to go down” latter-day poovery.

Injuries are a worry for sure, but ... As Ah said very early this season ... feel free tae research, Hearts are sh!te!

Barry sees the guys in training, and so far, for the most part, has set his team up well in response tae what we expect fae the opposition.

It may be the case we need tae field 2or 3 'unfamiliar' first teamers ... but maybe those might jist be the ones which Farts o' Much Loathin F.C. are unprepared for .... believe!! COYFR!

(That said ... Watkins is not the fkn super sub Messiah! ... he's just a very average 'game-seer outer' with 15 minutes worth of 'fresh legs' who will never change a game even if playing fkn ludo armed with a baseball bat and a fkn suicide vest!)
