manc_don Posted January 16, 2025 Report Share Posted January 16, 2025 Fuck me, didn't think we'd be going into this game when we drew them, as needing it to be a must win. But here we are. Our confidence appears to be rock bottom but hoping that the team and management can get their heads together and sort this out. Think anyone going will definitely need a good amount of booze, as I don't think it'll be one to remember. Their early form, like ours, has taken a turn for the worse, albeit, not as drastically as ours. They are also still scoring goals. No idea what to expect. We should win this, especially since our fitness should prevail, but concede an early goal and who knows. Hopefully the supports stick behind the team but we need the team to stand up. Out Bed Bed Wellington Anniversary day - even meant to be sunny all weekend Elgin 1 - Dons 2, Duk and McGarry Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10603-sc-round-4-elgin-vs-dons/
Jute Posted January 16, 2025 Report Share Posted January 16, 2025 Elgin will be a tougher test than Spartans were in the league cup but still should be a game we are winning. Would like to see Jensen start if Mackenzie is still “injured”. Was not that impressed with Dorrington on Wednesday but would still start him over Nilsen at centre back. Gutted that have stuff on that means can’t make this as always enjoy a Scottish cup game. oot Flat Maybe Hibs v Clydebank if have time. Out with family 3-0 Nisbet x2 and Keskinen Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10603-sc-round-4-elgin-vs-dons/#findComment-262642
Elgindon Posted January 16, 2025 Report Share Posted January 16, 2025 Elgin have a makeshift and small defence at present because half their back line are out.From what I saw last weekend they werent great but can play better.Front players were pretty useful,but Tobers and co should cope with them Oot In Elgin,but working Prediction - 0 - 3 Okkels,Duk,nisbet Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10603-sc-round-4-elgin-vs-dons/#findComment-262643

Reekie_Red Posted January 17, 2025 Report Share Posted January 17, 2025 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about this one. I reckon it's gonna be too early for Gueye to make a telling impact. But I reckon we'll just squeeze it and score a couple in the final 10 minutes, leading to "Dons leave it late in cup win" headline: Elgin 1-3 Aberdeen - Keskinen, Jensen, Morris Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10603-sc-round-4-elgin-vs-dons/#findComment-262674

Elgindon Posted January 18, 2025 Report Share Posted January 18, 2025 Oof,nae sure about that line up. Possibly Duk/Ambrose can rumble up the small Elgin defence,Rubezic for set pieces. Ah well Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10603-sc-round-4-elgin-vs-dons/#findComment-262687

RicoS321 Posted January 18, 2025 Report Share Posted January 18, 2025 Will be interesting to see how Tobers does on his wrong foot. He's looked very composed on the ball generally. If he can play there, that will solve a lot of our issues. Jensen getting a start is good too. Not sure I'd pick Morris on a tight, shitey pitch, but hopefully he can get back to some of kind of form.

I’d never have picked morris, for the pitch size but more we need those with determination and fight. Never been morris.
