Walker loves playing against them, looking forward to seeing Naismith effect on him, with Washington (if not Sunday) could form a very good 3 for movement. Aberdeen have previous for a sluggish start with European commitments, get a decent side on the park, quietly confident we can get a result.

Sub4TiddlerMurray Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) My guess for starting 11 based on CL's hint that we might see a back 3: Bobby Soutar Berra Halkett Smith Walker Clare Naismith Mulraney Washington Uche Washington's eye thing won't keep him out I'm guessing. Hickey has been a wee bit shaky and Mulraney has been used before to nullify pace opposition attacks.

Texia Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'll go for a 1-2 away win with goals from Halkett and Walker. I'm expecting a much improved performance following the betfred cup games and with Aberdeen having also played in Europe on Thursday Night. To be pedantic as well, for the new season can we have a resolution that the match threads need to have 'Heart of Midlothian' in the title rather than 'Hearts'.

Cruyff Turn Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I’d take a draw now, but there’s no reason why we can’t win. Think the team will be Bobby Souttar. Berra. Halkett Smith. Hickey Clare. Irving Walker Naismith Uche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmreido Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Previously I said it would be a miracle if we got a point, the way we've been playing in the league cup.

Bazzas right boot Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) This fixture has favoured the home team in recent years. However, the first game of the season is the perfect time to change that, if there is such a time. First goal crucial. Really hard to judge with it being the first game of the season. What is a given is that it will be a battle, Aberdeen have been pretty brutal in recent seasons. 2-0 Aberdeen or 2-0 us.

Boy sitting next to me reckons its farewell tonight, to be fair usually on the pulse There's a few rumours his last game will be on Sunday. We're struggling for defenders at the moment. McInnes said he likes to run with 7, yet we have 6 with 2/3 injured at the moment (Devlin,Taylor and Leigh???). The 7th defender would likely be Hoban, but he's not going to be fit till Oct / November Leigh might be back tonight, but still, it leaves us with no cover (Devlin and Taylor out with Hamstrings, so still a few weeks away from return) The English transfer deadline is next Friday (09th), so I can see him playing against Hearts and then going if a deal is already concluded. We'd still need cover though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
