Dee's vs Dons 15/02/25

[OxfordDon]

Great to see Mitov returning to the squad, Doohan has been reasonable as a stand-in but the loss of Mitov has shown how significant his influence was to our great form at the start of the season. 

[Jute]

Spare tickets gone.

Devlin and Shinnie being on the bench is a surprise, but suppose you stick with a winning team.

[Elgindon]

Dabbagh via Morris to put them to the sword second half....if were still in it by then.COYR

Well. can't say it's not Thelin's team now - 8 out of 11 are his signings.

[RicoS321]

Another fucking tattie field. 

[RicoS321]

Who the fuck teaches camera men these days? It's fucking awful. Constant meaningless close ups of players and managers when the ball is in play, or just returning to play. It's horrendous. Who wants any of that guff?

[OxfordDon]

Did I miss the new rule in Scottish football that the ball is not allowed to touch the ground?

[RicoS321]

Yasss. Some ball by Okkels 

[Panda]

 

Yes, think it's worth another airing.

[Elgindon]

Goal machineish Kevin

[RicoS321]

Good half, fairly even stuff with both teams going for it but not giving much up at the back. Nisbet playing well for us. Gueye doing a lot of movement, but touch a problem. Back four all looking good. Keskinen and Okkels not really making the right runs and decisions. A long way to go to get three points.

[Panda]

Nilsen was saying during the week he thinks the midfield has been fine, but up front they've not been creating anything.

I'd say today the midfield has been totally outplayed and up front we've done well with the few times we've managed to get the ball. The passing has been hopeless. 

Defence looks shaky, mainly because every clearance seems to land in our own box, and we're inviting them to put as many crosses in as they like.

Okkels getting more involved which is good to see, Nisbet playing well I'd say.

Battle of a first half. Great to see Nilsen looking on form again and setting standards giving instructions and bollockings.

I'd like to see pape driving and having a go. Plays the wide ball every time when he has options that might be better. 

Knoester looks solid today and might be the physicality needed at the back.

Aye, I noticed that too. I wasn't sure if it was just the camera angle, and he maybe had less space than I thought. Or maybe he didn't feel he had the pace to get away from the man. He can fairly ping the ball if he connects, so I'd like to see him drive and have a shot now and again. 

[Elgindon]

Yes like the look of Knoesters so far,and Tobers.Doohan done ok,would like McKenzie to go on a couple of those surging runs he was doing early season

  Okkels a bit more involved this week,Keskinen unlucky not to score.Still to unleash the Dabbagh

Nisbet playing well though (typically waits for competition before he bothers his arse), so it'll be interesting to see what happens. He looks a big lad, so might come on for Gueye.

[RicoS321]

What a fucking hit
