barassie_afc Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 appears am right then... the question you need to ask is why Milne wasnt prepared to do this... maybe due to debt/equity swap but thats not my forte, so that in itself maybe pish Link to comment
tup Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I disagree with others who suggested that a draw was a fair result - Hamilton dominated the first half in particular despite being behind. They created nothing though, so not sure dominated is the right phrase. Link to comment
lukas989 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 The first time under McInnes Ive experienced being surrounded by folks booing at the players as they applauded us at full time. We've played shit before under Deek, but cant remember the team getting booed off....certainly not by away fans. I dunno - lets get crazy for a bit; drop folks for young uns - bring back Lawrence....a few 'surprises' to light the fire under the 'first names on the teamsheet'. Link to comment
barassie_afc Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 The youth team isnt good enough the whole youth system isnt providing competition , arguably should be scrapped and a stronger first team budget made available Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The current form is certainly a mystery, but as Willie Miller has repeatedly said we are diabolical in defence. At the beginning of the season our defence was actually sound, we had found a keeper and Taylor had been fairly reliable. Now....? The complete opposite (apart from Ward who saves us from even worse results). Logan as others have said is simply not bothered any more and he needs to leave the club sooner rather than later. The amount of misplaced passes he made was again unacceptable. Taylor? Who knows why he has changed so dramatically but he needs to be rested. Considine should be used as centre half for a run of at least 4 games to see if he can finally claim that position. I disagree with others who suggested that a draw was a fair result - Hamilton dominated the first half in particular despite being behind. McInnes? I hope he can turn things around. We owe him a reasonable amount of time after what he has achieved for the club but eventually this kind of form will be impossible to ignore. Didn't see the game so just speculating but normally when a team is losing after an early goal they chase the game & tend to have the more possession. Guessing we tried (poorly) to defend a 1-0 lead & hit on the break. We are pretty damn shite right now though. Lucky if we are even a top six team on form right now. Our start to the season is now a very distant memory & the team needs a good boot up the arse. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 McInnes 'happy with a point'. Fuck off. Did he go on to say he's happy with a point because we deserved to get beat? Link to comment
Hewitt a the pies Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Let's not count Ushited game because we're not as bad as them yet but we are on a par with Motherwell and Hamilton at the moment!! How the F**k have we managed to come down to this? Link to comment

Our start to the season is now a very distant memory & the team needs a good boot up the arse. Hamilton controlled the midfield and seemed to win every 50/50 ball. They had a few attempts on goal and should have done better on several occasions. I agree that our form is so bad that we are probably only as good as the teams around mid-table. It seems remarkable after a great start and the 1st half performance at Tynecastle in particular.Unfortunately it now appears that we were deluded. Link to comment

RAZOR Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Did you watch St Mirren on Friday ??He is down there for a reasonAnd not exactly performing as well we'd have hoped. I got slated about a year or so ago for saying he was pish but apart from dayts I was the only one who had ever seen him in action. Personally think we should be looking at taking in another striker and binning Parker. Link to comment

I think when you look back you can see that we were fortunate to win some of those games, particularly Partick away. I don't think we're playing that much better then than now, some notable games aside, but football's about winning so nobody was bothered. Now we're not winning and still playing pish. Hopefully we can beat Ross County on Saturday but it does look like our season is coming down to how we do in the Scottish. Link to comment
lukas989 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Did you watch St Mirren on Friday ??He is down there for a reasonIm sure...just throwing things out there. In the past theres always been hope...but just now its like, this is clearly our 'best' eleven on paper; the culmination of mcinnes work and endeavour...yet we're on our worst run under him. Maybe shanks is doing bad owing to being in a shit team...there has to be a reason we were (in the main) creaming our underwear over him. Link to comment

Any chance he ever got last season for us he blew. He missed 3 or 4 glaring sitters. Link to comment

Personally think we should be looking at taking in another striker and binning Parker. I concur, he's cack. I'd personally like to see a return to proper reserve football, too big of a jump to go from under 20's to the first team, the kids even got ripped apart from a highland league outfit, Turrif took them apart in pre season.

daytripping Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Questions really need asked about some of the Mcinnes signing of late, Parker and the full back from Liverpool are way short of the grade required, did he really watch them before signing them, is that the best out there?

Those two have been disastrous signings... with numbers tight, we can't afford to keep dross in reserve. Total waste of our head-count. We need some competition for places! Link to comment

The Oxford Don Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Ash Taylor has been watching videos of Jerel Ifil, I'm sure of it. A bizarre and utterly depressing loss of form. He was arguably our best player during the good run at the start of the season, but is now right back to the bomb-scare we had when he first joined. Link to comment
