OLAS Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Awaiting Derek McInnes showing his disappointment that Aberdeen have an extra day rest before the game on Sunday. He must be disgusted like last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasMc1973 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 continuing my cup trip taking in Hibs v Ayr United... going to get more organised next season and follow a team from 1st round..... do they still have a preliminary round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLAS Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Are the Sheep worried about Sunday's game? Some decent players our, unable to break down Hamilton... Most Thistle fans are, I'd expect. It's not one we expected to win after the draw. 6/1 Thistle is great odds, but this might be the game our run comes to an end. Think we also did 4 or 5 wins in a row last season about this time. Can't see too many goals. 10 games, 8 clean sheets for us. Impressive for any team. Aberdeen are scoring but struggling with it. Archibald and the team have impressed this season with new formations. Wouldn't surprise me if we had a non-televised replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen will have a lot of the ball but we're keen to keep it, too. Hamilton's game-plan worked perfectly, but they were very lucky. They'll probably never do that again. Although our defense has been phenomenal recently, I don't think we could cope with the same onslaught. Unless we also got lucky or scored more. Have been really impressed with us over the past few months and this is one of the best Thistle teams I've [not physically, yet] witnessed. Wish I was even quietly confident, but not. Think we would have a better chance at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we would have a better chance at home. I meant similar in that i'd expect us to dominate the ball and the territory but not to be clinical enough. Rather than for the actual style of the match to be similar. Partick will be dangerous on the counter and will take one of their chances. We';ll shite it and start lumping long balls in to the box (ala Tuesday) and fail to get a breakthrough. Unless Hayes is back. If Hayes is back i reckon we'll win.

Archibald and the team have impressed this season with new formations. Wouldn't surprise me if we had a non-televised replay. Aside from Parkhead, Aberdeen have pretty much dominated every single one of our last 12 games. Hardly struggling. Saying that, injuries have undoubtedly changed the dynamic and I agree with the assessment that this will be a tight game that could be decided by one goal or go to a replay. Without Hayes, we're not the same team. We become one-dimensional and struggle to create clear cut chances...à la Tuesday night. We don't even have the option of bringing on Stockley, as he's injured as well, so we're even more reliant on McGinn and Rooney. I don't think there's any rocket science or state secret about what Thistle will try to do....keep the game tight as a duck's arse for 30 minutes, and wait for frustration to creep in and for the Dons to run out of ideas. If they can sneak a goal like Hamilton did, even better for them. I wouldn't be too concerned with a replay, we're a decent team away from home and Hayes will be back. For some reason though, I have a sneaky feeling that Pawlett will play a part in this. I'll go for a scrappy 1-0 win for the Dons with Pawlett scoring, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it was 0-0, 1-1 or even 1-0 to Thistle. All bases covered there then...

GRBear Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Really should be beating Hamilton comfortably. However, with it being a cup tie it will probably be quite tight. 2-1 Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get my head around that tbh. A potential semi final will be the 5th or 6th time we've played them this season. You'd think they'd even use the law of averages to find something to cling to. Also our semi final record hasn't been great in recent years, albeit that was before we had Sinclair, Dembele and Rodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLAS Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Anyway, 'mon the Accies. Sky doing their best to undermine them by getting Lambie out and giving Adrian Sprott a mention at every opportunity. "Former Celtic player, Donati and Rangers fan Crawford".
