The Perfect February 2014

[DandyDon KD]

If you think about it, this month could have been an absolute disaster and ruined our season. But instead we have reached the league cup final by defeating St Johnstone 4-0, knocked Celtic out of the Scottish cup at their own ground and beat Celtic in the league breaking their hopes of finishing the season unbeaten. It has been a very very good month!

Not perfect as we lost to Partick but I'll grudgingly accept how it's went.

Bobo show's his displeasure at the Partick defeat.

Hahaha. There was some mild sarcasm involved.

May prove to be the kick up the arse we needed to stop complacency kicking in before the final. If we win the league cup, i'd take a league defeat to Partick any day of the week.

McInnes is playing the long game here.

 

Allowing Partick to get 3 point last week means we guarantee ourself 9 points off them next season (or something).

Surely mcinnes gets manager of the month?

Without a doubt

Yeah, it's been alright I suppose.

Guys on Sportsound lastnight tipping McInnes for manager of the year.

Richard Gordon and Willie Miller said once he's won the cup, then he'd be front runner for it.

McInnes should win "Manager of the Year" if The Dons do no more this season (for what award he'll stick in the loft is worth). The achievement is already there for all to see. He won't rest on his laurels though and I trust him to continue pressing to get more out of the players and deliver a cup double.

 

The fact that Neil Lennon wins managerial awards is a joke. Considering that cups aren't considered - so no CL results they may fluke against under-strength, already qualified opponents - then with the finances at his disposal, only months where Smeltic win each and every game by a minimum of 6 goals should see him rewarded. As has been pointed out in another thread, it took him from 12 minutes to 45 minutes to realise what was wrong on Tuesday - by which time the damage was done. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually one of his backroom staff that was listening to the radio pundits that suggested the change, not his own idea.

 

Long may he be Smeltic manager, because if they had anyone in with half a clue, they really would be unbeatable.
