Stop Passing The Fecking Ball Back!

Peterhead down to 8 men by half time....

I can only ever remember Paterson being the only name in the frame! I think we pretty much had our sights set on Pele and he was going to be the one. I don't think Huntly welcomed our approach as they were hugely successful under Paterson - but he wanted to come here - and that was that! According to this months programme, the ex-Blackburn and Fulham manager Don Mackay was in the running along with the Pele. Got Dundee promoted about a decade before that and later went on to manage Airdrieonians. Might have been an interesting choice actually. Also, I think Malpas applied for it when Butcher got it. That would make him as applied at least twice for the job and turn it down when he was finally offered it years later! Also, was Ian McCall not strongly linked with us once when he was at Partick? Don't think I'd have fancied him getting it to be honest.

Same team as last week for me. Just when there is finally some football for me to attend in the Deen something comes up that does not allow me to make it. Anyone know if there is going to be any coverage of the game?

Either drop Billy or get doran and Watkins round the full backs with low cross balls into the box for Billy to create chaos in a poor Dons defence. If we drop Billy then we need Foran up front and doesn't look like he will play this side of new year so we are currently a one trick pony without another striker

I think Aberdeen will play with one up front for this. McInnes has said the two up front would only be for certain games and I can't see him letting us have an extra man in midfield although the injury to Jack may force his hand. I don't think we will change formation but I really hope we don't pay them too much respect and push at them and not let them come onto us e.g Ibrox last week and our last two trips to Parkhead.
