    Sounds strange after a 4-0 pumping but there was decent play from us at times. We need to make sure we continue with the positives and work on the negatives. We're not miles off being a quality team in Scotland, we should be good enough to beat Aberdeen. Its a huge game, if we lose this our Title hopes will already be fading and that wont be accepted by the Celtic support. Ange knows the pressure is on and he needs to deliver.

    Genuinely wouldnt be shocked if we skelp them also at the same time expecting a draw. Weird

    Well.said surely we would beat Livi and that turned out.great, so not expecting much and with Angeball any opposition has a chance.

    On form its probably the 2nd easiest away game we could face, unfortunately we already failed at the easiest.

    Kyogo back. Is a bonus, but he needs to stop missing sitters, but his movement gives us slight hope. 2 up front for me as hopefully that'd knock that pathetic fullback pish on the head.

    We dont have the legs in midfield to support Angeball.

    Ironically i think bitton helps with that - because if you play him as the holding role, frees up Calmac to play alongside turnbull or Rogic. If i remember right the wizard has a decent record against the sheep so that would be my midfield 3. Plus Bitton is decent in the air so useful in both boxes.

    Same front 3 and keeper as last night.

    Only change id consider making is at LB. Monty needs a rest but while we have two options im not sure scales is ready or i trust Boli, so guessing Monty wins by default.

    So same team as last night bar bitton for turnbull.

    But least the bench will have options thats a plus

    Welsh
    Scales
    Mccarthy
    Turnbull
    Soro
    The greek
    Ajeti

    3-1 to the celts

    Yeah unbelievably this team would be better with Bitton & Bolingoli in it, we're paying them a fair bit, may as well * play them now and again

    Aye, as much as I hate to say it, Bolingoli makes sense..

    He's probably reluctant to throw Scales in, but think Montgomery looks really shaky.

    Mental reading how many people want Bitton and Boli in the side. It's * surreal. And the craziest thing about it is that yous are right enough, they have got to play on Sunday. Madness how quickly things can change.

    He has no excuses here, the sheep are in worse form than we are and we don't usually struggle at Pittodrie, a loss or a draw here and Ange needs to go, even if the huns lose to hibs.

    I'd go

    Hart
    Ralston CCV Starfelt Bolingoli
    McGregor Soro
    Rogic
    Abada Kyogo Jota
    Need forrest back pronto, as Abada is in poor form too, could maybe go 4-1-2-1-2 with Mcgregor at CDM and GIakoumakis and Kyogo up front, but I don't think we'll see that.

    I do think we'll win this, 2-0 I'd say, massive game for Ange.

    Really? It would be a truly awful start to a season if it happens but does sacking him make things any better going forward?

    Last season's conduct by the club should be no yard stick for what's normal but considering the length of time afforded to Lennon when we all knew it was game over surely Ange deserves a bit longer than 3 months?

    Huge game. Need to get an away win to get that particular monkey off our back.

    Should be tearing Brown a new one in this game but with how slow our midfield is, it'll be right up his street.

    Absolutely this. Time will tell as I think most * teams are 1 or 2 things away from being a good one.

    Hart

    Ralston CCV Starfelt Monty

    Rogic McCarthy McGregor

    Abada Kyogo Jota

    We'd be potentially going into the international break 9 points behind the huns and 8 points behind Hearts, that would be a disaster in itself.

    It's by no means ideal, far from it, and I don't actually think the board would sack him anyway, but at the point any good will he's built with the fans will be 100% gone, and the International break, on paper, would give us 2 weeks to scout a new manager.

    Of course we'd probably just give it to Kennedy so I'm praying he doesn't lose and we don't need to deal with the aftermath.

    This is my last chance saloon team.

    Turnbull and Rogic can't do it, so let's stop dropping McGregor back to facilitate ineffective *. McGregor can press, link the play and score goals so let him play further forward. He seems to be disregarded from forward positions purely because other players can only play further forward, not because of his own lack of ability.

    McCarthy and Soro between them should be anchoring the play and keep the ball moving for a mobile front line.

    It leaves you with Rogic or Turnbull to come on later in the game when the opposition hopefully tire and their lack of fitness and dig is less of a handicap.

    Importantly, we should ditch the inverted full backs nonsense. It's not working and more importantly it's getting worse.

    I'm going for a rip roaring, free scoring, scintillating 6-6.
    As long as Aberdeen keep 11 on the pitch, we'll gift them at least 4 or 5 clear cut chances. At least.
