Not much experimenting going on there, still looks like a 5-3-2 / 3-4-1-2. Think we can safely say Shinnie won't be here next season as that's now four out of six games he's been on the bench under Robinson. 

No Lobban or Gyamfi in squad.

Aye, I wonder if Shinnie will end up back at Inverness?

I like Geiger instead of Cameron, but I'm still not sure about that midfield three mix. I think Armstrong is better playing advanced on his own, but Aremu is better playing in front of the back four, so we've got that problem we had with Clarkson and Armstrong and Geiger or Shinnie forming a lopsided partnership with one player who doesn't put in the same work. Not sure what I'd prefer. Probably Shinnie and Geiger hunting it down high up the pitch, with Armstrong in behind moving the ball quickly, or the reverse.

I love Shinnie, I would give him a contract for life. But yeah, I think for him it makes sense to go to Inverness and see out his career at somewhere that - I presume - he's considered a legend for his cup win. 

He could still do a job for us, even if it's off the bench, as he can play off the left or the middle. But you can't have your captain as a bit-part player, and essentially emasculating him by making him give up the captaincy but remain on the books isn't how his Dons career should end.

Shinnie's days on the pitch for us are over.

Such is his stock that I doubt many of us would have an issue with him picking up a coaching role with us assuming such a role existed of course

Argument to he made that Frame was the best of our summer arrivals*

His debut was January 😶
 

 

*arrival being the operative word considering Nisbet was here last season.

Not seen the first half, or the goal, but Frame reminds me a little of Mulgrew. Got a really good left foot, and I reckon he'll have a big future in the game. He's not going to be tanking up and down the line for ninety minutes every week though, and wouldn't be surprised if he moves more central in a few years. A really good signing.
