Mainstand Sweary Mob

I agree with a lot of it. I don't see us having the budget for all that sadly unless the likes of Erwin, Erhahon and McAllister were to go as well. I do think that McAllister could be utilised as a sub to take McGrath's place, which made it weird we got Kiltie. I then thought as Kiltie has played wide left before he was to cover the loss of Durmas, but not played him there. So a bit weird. I get the playing over to Main as he is a pest. He isn't going to be your highest goals scorer, but thought he was brought in to open it up to allow the attacking midfielder to come through too, but the long ball up the park isn't working. It's missing out the midfield. The midfield I find when they have the ball cannot turn or take a man on. I really like Fraser. I think he is solid wherever he plays, but think as a right back who can over lap would be best as he can get forward. The problem with the wing back is we are narrow apart from them. There is no support for them on the wing. No one offers an over lap... And if they do it's the 2 strikers being drawn out wide, which doesn't help them having to try score.

Where do you think we need strengthening? I defo feel width is missing. I feel that the McGrath and Kiltie together isnt working. Need someone to play along side Power. need players in the middle that can turn with a ball and take on players.

Is it loan to buy or just a loan we are looking for? Would the hold up not also be that County are interested too?

I hope they are open again for the 28th. Carrying all the snacks for my brother and son was a pain in the ass to the ground. [emoji1787]

From Saturday I would have him maybe coming off the bench and make the attacking midfielder be McGrath. If we had enough budget I believe we maybe need 3 more to come in: * a pacey RWB that can play the system we are. * CDM that can play alongside Power as he is having to do way too much. * A Pacey forward that can maybe make it to these hope balls that keep coming to the forwards wide.

I'd be happy that as has spent time at RWB and has pace. I do think we need s solid player next to Power to help him out if this is the system we are sticking to. Kiltie and McGrath in the same team didn't work Saturday. Need s solid midfielder helping power.

I feel pace and width are something we really need as well as someone that could play next to Power. If it means players that are not automatically starting were to go, I'd be ok with that.

I think if this this the formation we are going to play that it showed Kiltie to be a bit of a ghost in the game. I felt that Power was over worked in the middle. He needed someone else in the middle with him to cut out play. I felt that the wing backs didn't work as they would take a man on. It then meant that Brophy and Main were coming wide to be an option to pass or chip over to run on to it, to not have the likes of Kiltie running into the forward space in the middle. I'd play McGrath in that role and maybe look to play 2 midfielders to brake up play. I would also at times change it up to have McGrath at times then be running the line if ball is coming up left to go be an option for Tanser to pass and have over lap going on. If it's up the right he comes out to support whoever we play at RWB to overlap with. If this is the formation then if feels super narrow in support and attack higher up the park. We need players to be helping but not always pulling the strikers too wide with no midfield pushing forward to take their space and be an option.

Kind of agree, but thought Fraser was alright. I would have hooked Dunne of the back 3. Some of his balls were to nothing.

At today's game when waiting for people to come into the ground and the game to start, I saw a man and a teenager walking behind the goals. The boy had on the new strip(new ironed on sponsor) and wondered to myself, where the f**k did he get that from if not on sale yet? My 7 year old son in the toilet at half time was asking if he could get the new strips today. I had to tell him f**k know how that boy had it. Just seemed weird to see it on someone that wasn't a player as we were told it will be like mid august to go on sale.

Felt Kiltie was a bit of a ghost at times as forgot he was playing. Goodwin might like the 3-5-2 formation, but found that the wing backs were along out there. No one coming out to support or overlap with. At times felt like the strikers were then getting dragged out there, with no one coming through the middle. It felt very very narrow moving up the park or we would try chip it over for people to run on to, to then have no one coming through the middle as the strikers were then pulled wide with the chip over. Just felt a bit like there was no options or plan B to change the formation when not working.

I received a call last night from Campbell. A few people now couldn't make it and we were next in like in the ballot. This will be my son's first ever game. We are sitting in the north stand rather than where our season tickets will be, but I am so excited to be getting him to his first game. It was a nice wee surprise last night at like 9pm.

Jim loves a bit of the 3-5-2 formation, so looking at the current squad it looks like this (maybe from the Thistle match) with squad depth: GK = Alnwick / Lyness / Urminský RCB = Fraser / Finlayson CCB = Shaughnessy / McCarthy LCB = Dunne / RWB = Henderson / Tait CDM = Power / MacPherson / Reid CM = McGrath / Erhahon / Flynn LWB = Tanser / Tait CAM = Kiltie / McAllister ST = Main / Erwin / Jack ST = Brophy / Dennis / Jamieson* *out on loan From what I have seen people say from rumours etc: • Glenn Middleton LM/LW • Jordan Jones RM/LW • Calum Waters LB • Matty Kennedy LM/RWB/CAM • Michael Johnston LM/RM • So Waters could be left sided cover for LWB rather than the right footed Tait? • Kennedy could fill number of positions, would he get a starting place over Henderson then at RWB? • With the formation that Jim likes, I can't then see how Middleton, Jones or Johnston would fit. Also I believe bigger/richer clubs would be looking at the likes of Jones and Johnston. If you could get potentially say both Waters and Kennedy (doubt it though) as could be more realistic and also seems Jim admires them: GK = Alnwick / Lyness / Urminský RCB = Fraser / Finlayson CCB = Shaughnessy / McCarthy LCB = Dunne / RWB = Kennedy / Tait / Henderson CDM = Power / MacPherson / Reid CM = McGrath / Erhahon / Flynn LWB = Tanser / Waters / Tait CAM = Kiltie / McAllister ST = Main / Erwin / Jack ST = Brophy / Dennis / Jamieson*

Total fabrication, but what are Aberdeen looking at for Ferguson? I wouldn't say McGrath should be worth much less than him TBH. £2,000,000 would be a good starting point for negotiations as surly apart from the big clubs, Brexit will make English clubs look north and we shouldn't be getting shit offers in that case either.

Got a super quick club response on streaming if not successful in ballot As for SMTV there will be streaming available of home matches if you are unsuccessful in any future ballots. The details in how to log in are being finalised with the streaming company just now. As old season ticket number are no longer valid all that needs to change so they are just in the process of setting this up.

Hi folks. Very new to this and been able to secure season tickets for myself, my son and my brother. If we are not selected form the ballot for games, what do we need to do to get SMTV or get the games to view from home for free? What are the steps as I have not received a email or anything advising this since paying for the season tickets. Edited to add - do you get away games or do you need to buy these separate to stream from home?

Is he a wing back? Thought her was an attacking winger. Would that did our system?

I was getting this earlier when trying to by 3 and was going to leave 1. Settling for other seats because I couldn't do this online. I was then worried to lose our totally so went with the 2nd option of seats. I get the reason, but looking at the map there are loads of single seats which looks like it happened before and why not again.

Thanks. Got it sorted this morning for my brother, my son and I. Cannot wait.

Where on the site? Not accessible from phone at all? When I go to shop and season tickets, it's just showing a renewal option.

So even the new firm are not set up well enough to deal with the registration of new data?! Issues here are: the club dont have the data that shows where current season ticket holders sit in their stadium to do anything with that information for a renewal process. They didn't get the data from the old ticketing provider to be able to have the information to pass it to the new provider. The registration with the new provider has not worked at all for whatever reason. I get it the club are working through it all, but everything I find and read says the general sale was moved from 13th to 20th. See if there were issues, you come out again and move it. Publicly you make a statement to reassure fans renewing and new. This doesn't take a long time to put out there... But there has been f**k all from the club today apart from a repost about the first away day in social media. What an absolute joke that is. I used to be a season ticket holder for years. Gave up due to my son being born and not able to justify the Saturdays away after working in the week. My son now wants to attend. Asks every day about getting a ticket. My brother and I chomping at the bit to get him into it. Having a boys day and I have sat all day checking the site, social media... And nothing. Not at single thing. Communication is key and the lack of it is deflating.

To top it off calling the ticket office rings then straight to voice mail. It then says to leave a name and number... Then tells you the voice mail box is full. Why is there no one at all from the club releasing a statement. I find it childish that the old company conveniently lost all data or did not stump it up as the club went with a new provider. I find the continual lack of daily correspondence from the club on the subject really amateurish.

This is a farce. I know it must be hard for people renewing, but they could have easily put out some sort of statement to say general sale was going to be delayed again... But nothing once again. The silence is deafening. I cannot believe they didn't release a statement first thing today advising moving the date. I have spent all day checking the site and the only link is for renewal only. It shows a real lack of professionalism.

I have called and can't get through and also keep checking the site, which is all about renewing season tickets. The last club update said general sale was to be the 20th. All a bit of a farce. Is this all down to the fact that the old ticketing company didn't share the data they had to make renewal such a cluster f**k?!

I'm sitting waiting for 10am to see if go on sale as my brother, my son and I want to get season tickets.
