Tough game coming up against a team who have been consistently good all season and still have an outside chance of catching Celtic.

I would like to see.

......................Cierzniak...............
McGowan....Morris...Fojut....Dillon
Connolly..Paton..Butcher..Rankin
...................Bilate...Ciftci..................

Subs -

Szromnik
Telfer
Anier
Dixon
Souttar
Spittal
Erskine

You may not be far wrong but the left hand side looks a little less threatening than it did last week far less last year

Dixon doesn't deserve the starting jersey currently imo.He's getting it purely out of past reputation.Dillon isn't too rated these days but i think always plays not bad at LB for some reason.

The midfield has been completely overswamped in recent games so would like to see it a wee bit more compact for this one.And it's time to give Nads a partner upfront and Bilate should be that man if Dow is injured.

There's also a bit more physicality and height in the team with Fojut+Bilate in there.

So that's my thinking

No even going to try and predict the team.

Heading up looking forward to it. Doubt we will take as much as usually been taking up to pittodrie.

all three strikers need partners....they also need confidence...play them all together and get fucking into them..gee them something to think about

Defend like we did on Saturday and we'll get beat.

Hats off to any Arabs going up there. Been to last 8 games and looking forward to a break

Waffelz · 13/4/2015 7:21 pm

Heading up early in the car and then train home around 21:00 or so.

I hope to fuck its not that trio in midfield. My god. I don't even care if he was not in the game all of Saturday (still made the goal), Telfer deserves to start a run of games.

I think we may see three at the back again with McGowan moving to right wing back and Fojut replacing Spittal. Something like this:

Cierzniak; McGowan, Souttar, Morris, Fojut, Dixon; Butcher, Paton; Connolly, Bilate, Ciftci

That would do me if he's not playing Telfer. Lots of pace on the break as well as Butcher bursting forward.

lifesanocean · 13/4/2015 7:29 pm

I'd go with that.

Be happy with that, theres mileage in 3 at the back with Souttar sweeping. I'd Possibly start telfer instead of Paton.

Same as Saturday past.

Tek · 13/4/2015 9:42 pm

I wasn't at the game on Saturday i heard we played 3 at the back.

jmac said it was three but it looked 4 to me all day long

Waffelz · 13/4/2015 10:08 pm

Five and three at the back are the same thing to me. The wing backs are still pretty deep. I think it was three on Saturday most of the time but McGowan had license to push forward.

The only way I noticed was because of how far left Morris was playing.

huntedbyafreak · 13/4/2015 10:23 pm

I thought it was 4 as well tbh

The Shed · 14/4/2015 5:43 am

It went 4 when Bilate came on it was an obvious 3 or 5 however u look at it until then.

stobievulture · 14/4/2015 8:18 am

Obvious 5? Who was that then?

Dixon,morris,Souttar,McGowan and?

dufc5 · 14/4/2015 9:24 am

Spittal

stobievulture · 14/4/2015 9:30 am

spitall was playing right behind the striker to start with in the middle of the 3 with Erskine and connelly either side!

dufc5 · 14/4/2015 9:39 am

That's what I thought to. Just going with the formation United out on their facebook page.

Waffelz · 14/4/2015 11:58 am

Spittal was definitely right wing back. They didn't attack much down our right so McGowan was going forward as well.

stobievulture · 14/4/2015 12:19 pm

was nae danger imho spittal was playing as a right wing back...he was nearer shifty for most of the first half...must be watching something different these days if thats a right wing back lol...mcgowan was playing more like a right back going forward..as was dixon at left back...when one went forward the other side tucked in...thats what a normal back 4 has done for decades...spitall was never near that....in my humble

huntedbyafreak · 14/4/2015 12:36 pm

I agree with the vulture

huntedbyafreak · 14/4/2015 12:48 pm

How many do you think we'll concede on Sat. They have danger in both wings and a really good centre forward.

I can't see us conceding any less than 3 tbh
