Not sure that's a good idea keeping the same team. Bartley and McGinnin the centre of the park is crazy, Bartley is an anchor man not a central midfielder. Would have liked to seen Martin in the team with Bartley holding and McGregor dropped after the other night. 3 points is all that matters anyway so let's go!

If Fontaine or Holt had put away their sitters we'd have won the game on tues, fine margins and all that. Disappointed McGeouch can't start though.

Damning Lennon before a ball is kicked ? Let's just see how this pans out. If it doesn't work, then he'll deserve some stick but at least give it a chance.

Play 2 centre backs and a sitting mid
or
Play 3 centre backs and a forward thinking midfield

Playing 3 centre backs and Bartley makes no sense. Its just about understandable for Celtic away. At home against Dunfermline is another matter.

Seems like the mindset is not get beat first rather than go out for the win.

Puzzling.

Poor first twenty five minutes but played well thereafter. Should have increased the lead. Holt missed a sitter, a a few good chances from set pieces. Keating's playing very well, Cummings excellent when involved. I would get Bartley off particularly now he has been booked. Need a second goal to win it imo

We're bossing it and look good for a 2nd but the longer it stays 1-0 the more nervous I get. We've played well but still not convinced by this formation. Stevenson has seen a lot of the ball out wide in advanced positions but just doesn't have the guile to get past his man. We really need better attacking options down the flanks than our 2 full backs. Cummings looks sharp and can see him getting on the scoresheet today.

Three points in the bag so a good result from that point of view, Lennon seemed to make the changes at the right time so hopefully we can improve again from that.

Well done the fans, impressive turn out and very vocal from what I could hear, great atmosphere on Hibs TV.

As others have alluded to, shame not many of the 400,000 made it to Pittodrie to see the yam continue their magnificent run of offences, kicking all before them, a couple for what sound like nasty challenges, still they will be happy to have got the four bookings.

Would imagine Aberdeen v Hearts would be bigger but don't know numbers.

They were between 13 and 14k

Good to get a win. Hope we chuck that 352 formation now. Hopeless in these games.

This.

So labored with 3 centre backs, no need at home in this league, looked so much more fluid once Boyle and Dylan on

Great to get the win but would drop some people for next week in Paisley. I know you are not allowed for whatever reason to say it but Stevenson offers nothing and Crane really deserves his chance. Would also go back to the use of wingers for the game bringing in Harris and Boyle don't get why we changed when it worked so well in preseason think that having wingers would help Holt aswell?

United playing like a top flight team in the lower leagues. Do well in the cups against better teams but can't figure out how to play against the weaker teams. Sounds like us when we first came down.

Maybe QOS will be right up there as they are no mugs.

As others have alluded to, shame not many of the 400,000 made it to Pittodrie to see the yam continue their magnificent run of offences, kicking all before them, a couple for what sound like nasty challenges, still they will be happy to have got the four bookings.

Five.

You're right, they'll be dancing in the streets of gorgie tonight, the potter plan is falling into place.

Pleased to get the win but it can't be allowed to mask our deficiencies. 3-5-2 is not the answer.

We can't keep on having Gray and Stevenson being given the responsibility as our attacking outlets on the wings. I'm still not convinced by Keatings either, at least not in the position he played today. Holt does OK but it doesn't look like he'll score many for us which leaves Cummings as our only consistent goalscorer.

I want us to bring Hendo back but Lennon must see the other problems with the current squad. Boyle must start from now on and we need another wide player urgently. Plus another option up front.

Good 3 points, but the sooner the midfield is restored the better, welcome back Dylan and hopefully Fyvie shortly, otherwise it's going to be a struggle over the line.

Best ball we played all game came from McGeough. A lot of hopeful ones launched from the back. McGinn looked superb, they could only foul him off the ball. Bartley no use when he gets into the final 3rd. Keatings can whip in a good ball. Their goal was far too easy.

Not the prettiest but I'll take the 3 points. Mcginn is a class act, and keatings deliveries from dead balls werw great.

Cummings needs to learn to be less selfish. Keatings rightly shoved him away in annoyance after his goal for his earlier selfishness.

I thought Cummings did well today, he's a striker and will be greedy at times. This season if he gets the ball back to goal, he looks to find a man.

I'm comfy with JC.

Cummings coming really deep for the ball today - liked it initially then started to get on my wick! Love him as a player / character but the 'get the ball on my left peg then shoot' routine, while effective, is quite predictable. 3 goals in 2 league games though...

I'll never complain at a striker being greedy, it should be part of their mentality imo. We've had a few through the years deeko,Griffiths etc, if he scores 25/30 goals this season he can be as greedy as he wants.

Same here, took a bit of stick but thought he was ok and as always he was in the right place at the right time for the winning goal. McGinn was man of the match by a country mile though.

Funnily enough I thought Keatings was excellent today.

Me too, his dead ball delivery was very good, as it was on Tuesday ... and he worked his arse off :agree:

First half was ok. Got into good areas but were to slow with a final pass or there wasn't decent enough options. Still a bit slow in our build up play in general. Although we applied a lot of pressure from corners. Add the goal, Cummings header and the two McGinn shots, I would say we were unfortunate to not be a couple in front at HT.

Second we struggled at times and to their credit the pars scored a good goal, not seen it back but I think Fontaine got pulled badly out of position. Boyles introduction gave us more trickery and pace. Ultimately he set up the goal. We done ok after that. Improvements to be made, but if it's scrappy 2-1s for the rest of the season and we finish 1st I will be happy.

Credit to Dunfermline as well. One of if not the only team I can remember who have come to E.R recently to be organised and had a defensive set up but actually tried to play a bit football themselves at times.

Great turnout. On to Paisley!

Still think we need a couple of signings or three to give us more depth. However, Mcgeouch and Fyvie have been huge misses and I think we saw a difference when Dylan was introduced
