Im more worried about us comingย  out of this tie with no injury concerns goingย  by Aberdeens physical approach yesterday which will no doubt be the same on Wednesday.

A difficult pitch won't help but as long as we don't get sucked into a physical battle and concentrate on our own game then I think we'll be fine. Might even go to extra time in this one.

I think it'll be a close game on Wednesday, possibly going to 120 minutes or even penalties. There will be no love lost between the players given Aberdeen's cynical approach yesterday and the ref will be need to be strong and consistent from kick off to ensure a fair contest. I doubt if we'll change our game plan much but it will be fine tuned in the light of lessons learned. JBA should find it a bit easier, as he'll now have seen Aberdeen's various newbies in action. I wonder if we'll continue with our long ball experiment. Not sure if it worked yesterday - the idea was good but the execution not always great. Will our tank be running on fumes?ย 

There will be some squad rotation in that Welsh will sit this one out and Fadinger will come back in. SODs may also come back in. Possibly one or two other tweaks.ย 

I started to write about the team for Wednesday night but there are so many options it quickly became way to complicated so Iโ€™ll wait and see what JBA decides and the good news there, is that Aberdeen will also have to wait. Iโ€™m hoping for a bit more out of JT and Said in this game.ย
