2nd round...5 sets loss, brilliant!

Potential shock right now, Novak down a break in the 5th set to Istomin

Evans through, Andy through...all going well

I understand that mate...but to be honest nobody else is exactly setting the heather alight right now either. He definitely deserves another chance.

To be fair to O'Halloran he did show up quite well when he came on...let's hope that gives him the chance to force his way back into the team rather than being forced out on loan.

No so sure about that myself mate, hard to tell if I'm honest if he could or couldn't. Regardless I'm sure we can both agree Wilson shouldn't have lost his man there.

Blocked off his man in the middle there...he did his job! Wilson did not at the back post and lost the man.

Senderos done well to block his man off in the middle...Wilson however nowhere near his...

At least Waghorn adds an extra bit of composure up top to compliment McKay...our midfield with Holt and Haliday is sadly devoid of being ableto produce anything decent to help support either the defence or the attack, just awful the two of them.

Holt...

Stream can't be that bad mate...

To be fair that was a mistake by Hill for the goal, poor clearing header.

Main Stand mate? Seen that too or else it was another person?

Then I stand corrected...although being over at the opposite end of the ground in the main stand can make that difficult to hear. If they do anything, it wouldn't surprise anyone in all honesty.

I'm pretty certain they didn't fuck up the last one when we all expected them too. They've got an article up about the minutes silence on their website, believe me they will observe it.

To me it's pretty clear we don't have a midfield who are capable of making an impact at this level. Both the defence and attack lack the support required from the middle of the park. Halliday/Holt/1 Other currently can't run a game, don't support the defence or the attack nearly enough and that is the main issue. They don't take any pressure off of our defence and they certainly don't support the attack effectively enough at all. We need to sign at least 3 capable midfielders to give ourselves a chance at challenging realistically.

He's been a lot more direct with his running since he's started to get his confidence back, let's hope he can continue to that going forward!

Looks like he's actually over his injury and fully fit for the first time in a long time...great to see!

Oh Tommy knew...oh Tommy knew...

I wouldn't hold your breath mate...should have been mentioned well before now!

Fair enough but he plays for Northern Ireland which matters to a section of the support. The two crosses also came from Wallaces side of the pitch, it's a combination of things. We may not have conceded from a cross from Hodsons side but the amount of balls that went past him was ridiculous, including the cross from the right of defence in which Aberdeen SHOULD have scored from, thankfully they didn't. Ive just not been that impressed from what I've seen from him so far apart from taking his goal well on Saturday. He'll get my support if he plays but it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up back on the bench soon enough.

He scored yes...which I mentioned but I believe there a few tinted views on him based on the fact he's from Northern Ireland.

I genuinely think I was the only person who wasn't impressed with him, goal aside of course, so many balls came in from his side of the pitch it was unreal. I'd have Tav back in, Waghorn for O'Halloran and Wilson for the suspended Hill...I would be tempted to replace McKay with Forrester too but there were glimpses of talent in there on Saturday...although get him off corner duty!

Now that he's been here for a decent while and got up to the pace of the Scottish game he's reading everything like a book Using his game intelligence and getting the best out of Keirnan is great to see! He may well be around next season the way he's playing!

Full stand with 7.5k of us in there...brilliant to see Have a feeling we're gonna win by a few today
