Feruz out with a strain .Keatings still on mend from last injury so may not be risked ,Farid still weeks away from being in contention ,Anier not being mentioned , So with neither Cummings or Maloonga scoring at the weekend and Boyle not really suited to playing up front ,what is best option for this game bearing in mind we have a potentially difficult game on Saturday against St Mirren which we need to win

nae sense in risking him if doubtful ,as we just can't afford to have players in and out .Better if he could get regular game time from the bench and increase the time if he is proving his worth .

That's a shame if Feruz is unavailable. I was thinking it could have been a good opportunity to give him a start.

The number of injuries we are picking up is quite incredible.

I don't think we have much option other than playing Cummings and Malonga tomorrow if Keatings, El Alagui and Feruz are all injured.

It's quite sad that we probably have one of the largest choice of strikers in the country and yet we're struggling to put two strikers in the team.

He warmed up for ages on Saturday and didn't get on. Hope it's just a minor strain

Billy whizz is right says doubtful so I could be wrong he may make recover in time or may be on bench and and come on . I just think we can't afford to take chances just now .BBC not saying Keatings out ,so maybe he will be available

You could be right. Stopping them break quickly will be important.

Cummings up top and play 4-5-1 counter attack

No chance. JC can't play up top on his own, would just invite pressure back on to us. Has to be Malonga and JC.

I'd imagine we'll go 3-5-2 with mcgregor coming in for henderson.

Could this be an opportunity for Insall to make a start? Albeit would be thrown in the deep end. Or is he on the injury list as well?

I'd personally go with Cummings and malonga up front. Carmichael and Boyle on the wings.

We know Boyle will track back and from the limited time we've seen him he seems willing to do this too. Only reason I'm putting this up for an option is because against Livingston second half we looked like we wanted Livingston to attack us. We constantly missed the midfield out by punting high balls forward to a striker who is not suited to this style of play and let's be totally honest and no disrespect to Livi, Aberdeen will hurt us a lot more if we give them the ball as cheaply.
Also I would constantly swap Boyle and Carmichael on the wings as this would give Aberdeen more to think about than they normally have to contend with.
