    Široki Brijeg v Aberdeen

    Guess it's fair to say it wasn't the result most of us were expecting on Thursday. Hope the away goal doesn't do too much damage to our chances to go through to the next round and a likely trip to Cyprus.

    Greg Stewart has to to start in my opinion, he looked like the kinda player we've been crying out for. I'd like to see Kenny Mclean benched on Thursday. GMS is a tricky one for me, he was poor last week but I would like to think we will see a lot more out of him once he's settled a bit.

    Start with the tempo that we did at Pittodrie, hopefully get an early goal and then soak up the pressure after that and most importantly work on keeping possession.

    In/Out - In
    Furryboots - away section
    Pre-match - drinking responsibly
    Post-match - drinking irresponsibly
    Prediction - 2-1 Rooney scores a winning penalty

    That's a bit harsh on GMS,he done ok considering he signed 24 hours earlier and is no where near match fit.

    Not really that harsh, I just said he was poor. Which he was.

    He was unlucky when he rounded the keeper and the defender deflected it wide,he made some decent runs but his crossing wasn't great.I can think of 8 players who were worse than him on Thursday but to be fair I think they will all improve when they have more game time under their belt.

    Oh aye, I`d start with GMS. And Stewart. AND Stockley.

    We all know the danger with Stockley and his elbow. But surely Deek & Doc will have been working on that ???

    big danger with the Bosnians is the way they go down if you bat an eyelid at them. They`ll be worse at home.

    They only need to sit back , draw us in , and hit on the break. 0 - 0 is eniough for them.

    So we need to go for a " quick " goal wiithout leaving space at the back,....................mind you , scoring the one goal of the game in the 89th mniute would do us too. Just won`t be that enjoyable for us sunseekers !!!

    I was very surprised how the Belgian Ref turned all soft an easily conned by the second half, as he seemed ok in the first half. Lets just hope ALL our players watch it.

    I agree with pacman I think we will get a 2-2 dra.

    It's probably worth the risk with Stockley he will hold the ball up and bring the attacking players up the park.Its just a risk because the referee will have zero tolerance with his swinging elbows.

    Fairly confident on this one, we can play a lot better doubt they can, i would start with

    Lewis
    Logan O'Connor Reynolds Considine
    Mclean Shinnie
    Stewart Christie GMS
    Stockley

    Rooney was gettinh nothing from the CB's last week think like Tims in final Stockley can rough them up aslong as he does it without his flailing elbows. Dropping Tansey this game as Mclean and Shinnie know each others game better and this is a massive game for us.

    Praying we win as a wanna go to Cyprus

    That team is a good shout,the only thing that concerns me is Stockley getting sent off.The European refs won't put up with his flapping arms.
