Have AST holder received their tickets yet? My money was taken last week but not received the tickets yet. Wondering if they are keeping them to send out with the Ross County tickets? Not been an issue before but I have not received a couple of things I ordered, in fact I have had no mail in over a week which is unusual given the amount of junk mail I get. Just starting to get worried now.

I received mine last week.

Thanks, I will email the ticket office if they are not delivered today when I get back from work.

If anyone wants a pre match laugh then give tonight’s sportsound a listen - not sure if the podcast is out yet. Dave Cormack has lost it already, some very strange comments

Read Aberdeen fans on Twitter going radge as he was saying the MLS reserve league is more competitive than our championship. Seemed unclear if he was getting the name of our premier league wrong or if he was saying that where Glass has come from is a better grounding than if he’d been a manager in the Scottish championship before.

If we play the same way against Aberdeen we will lose, I think we will lose 1-0.

We’ve managed to conjour up the occasional performance such as we saw yesterday under Jack Ross, but have never went into full slump.

Hopefully that continues and we bounce back like we have done before, but there was just something about that yesterday which is ringing the alarm bell for me a bit.

I think that’s it, this sort of result crops up under Ross, but we don’t tend to end up in a prolonged crisis.

I think my thing with Ross is suspecting this is the biggest gig he’ll likely get, this could be the peak of his powers, never leading us into unbridled crisis, but likely never leading us to the sort of success that will get him a bigger job.

Safe, if not spectacular or particularly inspiring.

Was hilarious radio - definitely worth a listen.

I’m sure someone will post a link when they find it tomorrow.

The worry is Aberdeen haven’t won in so long they will see Hibs as a chance to change that.

Hibs record against Aberdeen has been woeful in recent seasons. We got the win in that last game but we need to beat them again more regularly.

[He's here!]

I see Cormack has given Glass a vote of confidence. Most managers don't last long after that.

Personally I'm surprised Glass gave up what sounded a good life and pretty secure job in the States to come to Pittodrie.

That is good news for Saturday

[Jones28]

I would be tempted to go with this team in a 352/532:

Macey
Cadden McGinn/Wood Daz/Wood Hanlon Doig
Gogic
Newall Allan
Nisbet Boyle

The formation worked well at Tynecastle and I think we tried too hard to accommodate Murphy on Saturday.
Another poster mentioned having McGregor along side Wood to coach him through the game and I think that's a solid idea.
Nisbet needs someone to partner him up front and Boyle needs to be in the team so its a win win. Also harder to mark someone out the game if they can use pace to get in behind.

Nonsense post.

I'm all for analysing the defeat and trying to understand where we went wrong. What I cannot stomach is the way folk like to use a poor performance as an opportunity to indulge their over stimulated antipathy toward the club they , ahem, support.

Aberdeen have given first leagues wins this season to St Johnstone, St Mirren and Dundee. Celtic got their first domestic away win since February against them as well.

Just listened personally thought he was ok. Quite a strong defence of Glass based on the recent stats. I think there are issues behind the scenes though hopefully we can take advantage however they still have a very decent squad. We will need to be miles better though. Getting the first goal could be huge.

[Alex Trager]

Listened to it and they are saying that the centre halves are really easy to turn. I’d consider Boyle through the middle in such case.

Hopefully McGinn and Magennis are back for this one

When teams are up for it against us, we rarely win.

If that’s passed you by over the last year or so then that’s fine, you’ll maybe notice it one day.

Jack Ross has built a really decent squad and in most games that’s enough, when a teams really up for it though we struggle. If you genuinely haven’t noticed that then I find that quite incredible.

Jesus wept.

No need to have a peek at Kickback to see crap being posted about Hibs when you can get it all on here.

What a ridiculous post.

It's so bad, it's really not even worth arguing with you.

We only win when teams aren't up for it

I’d have been raging if Ron turned up on the radio and went on like he did. Don’t think anyone would be defending our owner if we were in their shoes and were on a run of results like them. Should just keep quiet and let the manager get on with trying to turn it round on the park.

[Keith_M]

I'm definitely up for it.

Will that help?

I don't think I agree fully with Bingo's post but I think there is possibly a decent point behind it.

Hibs struggle badly against very hard working, packed defensive teams who press us. These are the games we often struggle in and get our most disappointing results and performances in.

We do better either when the other team has decent amounts of possession and we can counter-attack, or when we're given space to play.

I wouldn't say it's easy to break down teams who press us but we're going to need to find a way to play better against that sort of approach.

Saturday reminded me a bit of the derby defeat before lockdown. Hearts pressed us all over the park and we just didn't have the answers to it. Midfielders who had previously looked good went to pieces. Defenders didn't want to give them the ball so lumped it. We found ourselves all over the shop against the worst team in the league just through them pressing us.

I'm not convinced it's about being "up for it" although that's what it can sometimes look like.

Match is on Alba at 6.

13 players would definitely help.

If Ron went on the radio and started making claims that other chairmen were congratulating him on losing performances I’d be embarrassed.

I agree with Bingo on this so think your post is a bit off. It's not so simply about the effort the opposition put in but their style of play. If a team plays a compact formation with a high intensity pressing game we clearly struggle. Evidence supporting that would be games against Hearts, St Johnstone, last game v Dundee Utd (under their new manager).

We are better against more open teams who try to stretch the game or play with a bit less intensity where are ball players in midfield (JDH, Newell, Allan) have a bit more time and space. I think that's why we could beat Dundee Utd regularly last season - they were very open. Motherwell are also fairly open and concentrate more on what they do with the ball rather than stopping the opposition and again we tend to do well against them. Teams also tend to be a bit more open at home which might explain why we are probably better away from home than at ER.

That's not to say we don't have our good days but our midfield don't like being made to run up and down or being put under pressure and other than Magennis our midfield is pretty easily compartmentalised. The 1-3 loss to Hearts was pretty much a blueprint of how to beat us where we got overrun in midfield and Dundee Utd managed to do the same on Saturday.

Convinced Aberdeen will win. All the hibs ingredients are there.
