Last year we started off looking like he had gotten a blend and started playing better football with Watkins, Hedges and Wright making it very enjoyable to watch.

With a new manager though, I knew it would take time, regardless of who the manager was and how experienced they were. It was never going to be blowing other teams away right off the bat and knew we would be in a transitional period. I therefore believe any new manager needs to be given the time to implement a successful team. This season, Iβve only been disappointed in about 3 games (Dundee, Motherwell and Dundee Utd). This is down to performance on the pitch (effort mostly) Β and not based on the results which obviously could and should have been better. There are still plenty of support in the stands like me that are willing to give Glass a bit longer to turn it around 2 points off the bottom is of course worrying and Glass will need to start getting better results especially against so-called weaker teams in the league, else no doubt the support will turn as being in a relegation battle is not good enough.

fine-n-dandy Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Itβs at the stage now where we are grateful for teams like Hearts, Hibs & Utd for taking points from the teams below/competing with us.Β Β itβs pretty fkn incredible (ridiculous really) that ANY manager can survive this kind of status at Aberdeen. Even as the chairmanβs buddy/wee pet puppet project. Far more competent managers would have been binned sooner with better records without the arrogance of Cormack to protect them.

Iβm sure youβll agree that weβve not had a settled defence this year from the personnel changes (only Considine was considered to be a defender from last seasons squad), to new players taking time to settle in (Bates, started horrendously and a bomb scare, but seemed to be settling down), to players adapting to new roles (McCrorie, I think heβs been very good and improving each game in defence), to Scottish I ternationalists (Gallagher just seemed too laid back when he first started playing in the team), to developing and integrating youths (Ramsay could play a full match at the start of the season) and of course the injuries. Thats not making excuses incidentally, but certainly a factor in not having had a settled side there yet that have been able to bond into a cohesive unit. Maybe Glass and his team canβt do it, maybe there is evidence to suggest heβs never proven it, yet maybe, once we get the defence settles, weβll be better in that department. Link to comment
