grumpy Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 So, did we change our system to compensate for them changing their system to compensate for our system? Did we change our system and they didn't change their system? Did we not change our system? Are we better than them? Am I confused? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Absolutely magnificent and thoroughly deserved too apparently. Â Great to go into the final on the back of such a great win at a difficult venue! Â Detest Aberdeen and their fans so always love results like todays.

grizzlyg Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Great result and a few selection posers for next week. And well done Andy Rose, get fed up reading the pelters he gets. He does the dirty work that doesn't get noticed. In Robbo we trust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkyred Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Huge credit to the guys today for a terrific result and very important given the next two league games for confidence. Amazing to think just how good this team is given the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiddy Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 any one who was there today,how did grimshaw play ? just curious as I spoke to him 2 week ago and he was like a wound up spring chocking to get on the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clackscat Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I notice the Aberdeen Asst Mgr say on BBC that we caught them out by playing a system they didn't expect so quodos to Robbo and the lads for showing we are far from a one trick pony. Just may have Celtic wondering how we will set up on Sunday....mind you we (the fans) are wondering too!!

weeyin Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Aye, credit to the gaffer. Aberdeen won at Fir Park by adjusting to our tactics from the cup game - so well done for addressing that in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked fairly standard with Grimshaw in for Campbells meaty meat balls.Aye, would be interested to hear from those at the game. Apparently we had a back four. Beyond that, I have no idea.

scoojy Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Robinson said in one of the interviews I read that they played 3 different formations throughout the game. He didn't elaborate, and I wasn't there, so I'm not sure what they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 That result means we will still be top six after the two Celtic league games, not a bad position, especially if we have a trophy in the cabinet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 From what Ive heard and read, I think weve went with a 4312 that has Dunne at left back and Cadden in the hole. Im looking forward to the highlights. Â Very positive post-match interview from Robinson with regards the task ahead, so refreshing. Interesting though that Bigis absence was down to competition for places rather than a knock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well 4 Europe Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Started out as 4-3-1-2 formation with a narrow 3 of Rose, McHugh and Grimshaw in the middle and Cadden in the hole behind the front 2. Seem to catch Aberdeen by surprise as we pressed them high, dominated the early stages and forced Lewis into 3 decent saves from Grimshaw and Rose twice. Aberdeen came back into it but we got the goal at right the time just before the break. Â Once we got the 2nd Frear came on for Bowman(he took a hefty dunt in the 1st half) and we went to a more standard 4-1-4-1 with Frear and Cadden outwide and McHugh sitting in front of the back 4. That was the 2 formation changes I noticed, the 3rd must have been more subtle as I never picked up on it. Anyway it snuffed Aberdeen out completely and they never really looked like getting back into it. Â On the game it was the most comfortable win weve had at Pittodrie for years. Like the cup game we won the midfield battle with Rose, McHugh and Grimshaw all excellent. As was the back 4 with Kipre and Tait in particular looking far more comfortable in their natural positions. Hartley bossed things at the back as per and just like the cup a couple of bits of magic from Moult won it- although the build up play from Cadden for the 2nd was sensational. Â After a couple of poor performances/defeats it was back to business today with another clean sheet and a comfortable 3 points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I see BBC Sport Shortbread are showing a clip of our seven-goal horsing by the Mutton Molesters. Â Surely motivation enough? Â Â Apologies for being petty, but it sure was. Just to rub salt in their wound Moulty scored both goals - how inconsiderate and selfish of us not to sell him cut price to the Dons in the summer. Â The media won't say it but I will "Well gain revenge on Aberdeen for league loss at Fir Park". If the "unbiased" BBC pundits consider that the result was down to Aberdeen being very poor then I hope many others think the same. We however, know better. Â A good win for us at the start of a difficult run of fixtures, and it sets us up nicely for next weekend's final. It seems that Robbo's formation caught Derek McInnes out and this was a game won as much off the park as on it. Good to see Liam Grimshaw step in and play well. He's a player I admire - full of running and aggression. A real team performance though. Â COYW! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Superwell Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 any one who was there today,how did grimshaw play ? just curious as I spoke to him 2 week ago and he was like a wound up spring chocking to get on the park I thought he was decent, put in a lot of good tackles, similar in nature to Campbell and nearly scored with a shot from outside the box that Lewis parried away, he eventually came off for Campbell with 20 mins to go, we dominated the midfield today which I think is imperative against a team like Aberdeen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Heehee: petty away Kmcalpin. Well said. Â BBC Radio Shortbread dreadful as usual, with the usual drivel from the impartial Aberdonians. Â I like Grimshaw, and relished the ball he put through to King Louis when we beat the MMs at Fir Park. There's a lot more to come from him, if he can get into the team. Same for Bigi, which says a lot for our midfield strength. Â Petravicius could also be a stunner out left, if he gets game time. Â Now for a week of: "I'm concerned about Motherwell's physicality" from Saint Brendan, all lapped up by the BBC dweebs (and Craig Thomson). Â Comorrawell!

Goggles & Flippers Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Just glad we've got a manager who's aware the other teams in this league study what you do and combat it, unlike McGhee and McCall near the end, who would flog a dead horse. Nice to see he's got a plan A, B and C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
