Good early decision. Lets us get on with planning an alternative weekend. Hopefully we get a decent draw in the next round as a carrot. Be good to get it played on the 18th, otherwise fixtures might start to pile up, with the Dundee game also still requiring a suitable date. Onwards to Wednesday night and getting it right up The Rainjurs!

Can we not have David Dickinson as referee please. Not suggesting he is corrupt. But would just like to be talking about the game instead of him for a change!

No, Aberdeen FC 😉😉😉

Surely you are not suggesting nefarious actions! 😆😆😆

Was it worse than the one on Fadinger?

None of our youngsters play left back though.....

Aye. If the game was off tonight, I dont see Saturday going ahead unless tge forecast is wrong. Doesnt look like they will be getting any respite.

Certainly takes and squad rotation issues out of the equation. We just go with our strongest team and worry about the Rangers game from the safety of the next round!

I was going with the premise of having a "shit pitch" 😉

Dundee spent money on their pitch close season. Its looked like a bowling green all year. They can hardly be blamed for a weather system coming in off the North Sea for the best part of a week subjecting the entire area to persistent rain and snow. Also, our pitch isnt looking very good right now, despute the efforts we have gone to improve it. Should we also be fined?

Johnny K in full training yesterday from pics shown, so any knock he had was obviously a minor one. Good news going into an important 7 days of football.

Need to win tomorrow night now. Do that and win next Wednesday and we can start to dream.....

There were a lot of players who looked brutal under Kettlewell. A few of them are doing very well under Jens......

I think folk are getting the wrong end of the stick here. I said I was slightly underwhelmed with the window purely because I expected 1 or 2 new bodies in based on what Jens had said in his pressers. Im not disappointed. Far from it. Id much rather we were where we are now than the trolley dash we have become accustomed to over previous seasons. But that doesnt mean you cant be analytic about it and point out where we could have done better. Left back cover is an obvious weakness. I know Koutroumbis and SOD can both play there, but both are currently injury doubts for tomorrow meaning we dont currently have cover for Sparrow or Longelo. Filling that space would have made sense to me.

Only slightly negative because Jens is very meticulous and hinted at getting at least one more in. If we had covered left back it would be a B+ from me. FWIW, Im not convinced Robinson will be straight out the door. Obviously depends if he is able to come back to peak fitness. But he is young enough and his attitude wasnt in question. I think Jens will at least have a look at him or at least test the data. Id like to see what he is like without the ball bouncing around his ears....
