St Johnstone v Aberdeen

[Bojangles9]

Like yourself I have a high degree of potentially misplaced optimism!! We will be losing our best two strikers and haven't replaced them with anything better yet - although I am confident that Sokler will score near the 20 mark. We are still crying out for a decent winger and have to rely on Morris who has failed to deliver any time he plays against a decent team. Our defence hasn't really been tested and it'll only be a few games before Shinnie and Nilson will be suspended.
I'd love for your predictions to be the case, but I can see us losing to St J and then accumulating a whole load of draws in the following games

You foresee us getting beat by the farmers and then a rake of draas? And that’s you highly optimistic? Christ I dread you being pessimistic

Stuffy game but away win as St Johnstone are mince.
0 - 2

No, I am optimistic that Jimmy will make us better this season, but just seen too many disappointments to not be aware that shyte couldl come our way. Particularly before Jimmy has us playing the way he wants, with his players, rather than the ones that he's inherited and have failed recently.

Just joshing.
I hear you, I’ve no real expectations for this season either, hopefully top six but I’m more keen to see a defined pattern of play that going forward we can bring our own youth into. Seen a lot of people, correctly, saying he has to be given time especially for the reasons you list above. NGL I was pretty surprised by the level of booing at half time for his first game at Pittodrie.

I predict Monday evening will be a doze of reality. St.Johnstone are far better than any of the dross we have played so far (Airdrie could knock the ball around better than us but were powderpuff up front).
I hope we win the match and if so it’s most likely by 1 goal in a low scoring game.

We definitely need better players in before the window shuts. Alan Hansen once said you win nothing with kids, RED_JOHN says you win nothing with dross.
