SaintJet Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Our third visit to Aberdeen this season and this one is crucial. After a pretty damning performance at home to Hibs last week the team have a chance to redeem themselves and try to keep some daylight between them and Ross. Got to assume there will be some changes this week and pretty Sure Kimpionka is starting up front and I won't be surprised to see Steve May start as well. Dons don't have a lot to play for so not sure what kind of performance we might see from them. Just win, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern saint Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 We need to be bold and get on the front foot. Their defence is vulnerable. Mitov Keltijens, McGowan, Olufunwa, Robinson Phillips Wright/Franczak, M Smith, May, Sidibeh, Kimpioka I think Gordon, Considine need rested. May's energy could revitalise the midfield and he has the ability to see a pass which is important. The pace of the front two will scare the defenders. Robinson could be left midfield if we stayed at a three with Phillips protecting them. McGowan has shown he can help youngsters through a game. Much depends on fitness. Clark is a box player not a number 10. Crawford a late substitute for his goals. DJ if fit is an option. Defending for 90 minutes isn't. Do I expect a team like this? No. It will be last week's as we know the performance was wonderful, there wasn't any player who failed to pass or shoot or defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kinross Saint Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 (edited) We really need players on the pitch who won't hide as soon as things are going against us. Personally I wouldn't have either Smith or Max near this starting line-up. Would love to see four at the back but that appears to be fantasy. Mitov Keltjens - Gordon - Considine - Robinson Wright - Phillips - McGowen - Carey Sidibeh - Kimpioka Edited May 2 by The Kinross Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Levein says we're going to "go up there and have a go", so 5-4-1 incoming. 🙃 I'd love to see us start Sidibeh and Kimpioka together but is Sidibeh a doubt for this one? If he is I'd play Kimpioka with May. Would love to get Wright and DJ on the wings but Wright didn't look fit when he came on last weekend and DJ didn't even make the bench so I'd be wary of starting them here unless they're really firing on all cylinders, which seems unlikely. Franczak had a really tough game against Hibs but (if Wright's still not ready) I'd like to see him with Keltjens behind him, to give him more support down that side and allow him to concentrate more on getting forward. I'd keep Matt Smith in the team but we need to get back to playing him in central midfield and stop shifting him about. I still think Smith's ability to pick out a through-ball are our best chance of sending Sidibeh/Kimpioka through on goal. If Smith doesn't start, the only option I can see taking his place is MacPherson. I'd probably go: _________________Mitov Keltjens McGowan Gordon Robinson Franczak* Phillips M. Smith Carey** _________Sidibeh*** Kimpioka *Wright if fit **DJ if fit ***May if Sidibeh's injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 I’m hoping the players are thinking new owners we bet of pull our fingers out and try to impress them especially the ones off contract R.B.B:- Adz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously tactics and the players are frightened to show any type of flair or individually. There is no way Levein is going to release the shackles . It's not in his DNA. Even when he had a reasonable record at United I am sure it wasn't open football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
