We have a Kenny Mclean shaped hole in our midfield. Think the hope was that Forester would have been his replacement but for whatever reason it's not happening for him.

Shinnie and Ball are too similar

Going to have to spend some dough in January for a creative midfielder or hope that Forester and possibly Wright when fit can contribute.

Wright looked good (albeit only against St Mirren) shame he's injured at the moment

No, No we don't, this early in the season Kenny was invisible, so we're not missing him in the slightest

 

Second Edit: yet

[Stoneybloke]

And only 6 off the bottom.

 

There's no proper midfield and no proper attack in this team. With each passing game I'm more and more amazed that anyone at the club felt that our transfer business throughout the summer was acceptable.

 

Serious concerns for the season ahead.

Aren't you being completely hysterical about this. All will be well, just be patient.

[Tord31]

Concedeing one goal is to be expected.

 

We need to score a goal or two ourselves. What a boost if we manage to score two in a couple of games before the semi final

[scottymc]

If you actually look at our fixtures so far the only one that we couod be angry about was the Killie result and even then we were screwed by the ridiculous red card.

 

Hearts look like their flying but apart from the Celtic game (where arguably you could say it was lucky because it was the first game of the season) they have played the poorer teams in the league.

 

We could do with a run against some bottom 6 teams to get some form. Not overly concerned yet.

 

Still doesn’t change the fact that Cosgrove is honking. He is never an impact player and it’s a weird decision Del seems to keep making

Blind optimism.

 

The standard of football I've seen so far this season has been eye-bleedingly bad.

 

Fairly certain that both the Glasgow teams and both the Edinburgh teams will finish well above us this season.

[Reed or deed]

Our lack of goals is down to a lack of midfield creating chances more than any deficiencies up front.

 

Seriously?

 

Have you seen some of our finishing?

[muttonhumper]

Thought we played very well, albeit against a Celtic side a mere shadow of their former selves.

 

Some good opportunities to get in behind them last 20 minutes squandered, by GMS particularly, so very frustrating.

 

We did carve out a handful of chances, and restricted them too fewer than you'd expect going down there.

 

Awful goal to lose though. Crass defending, mostly from Logan who had opportunity to kick the ball away right in front of him, but preferred to try and hold the tim off behind him.

 

[eeps]

Disappointed to lose that. Aside from one fucking backheel we matched them all over the field... even mid, shockingly.

 

Different Aberdeen from the one that played Hibs.

But we beat Hibs, go figure

[eeps]

 

Wilson/May actually looked a decent partnership.

Was obvious on Tuesday night. Cosgrove is not good enough unfortunately.

Maybe they should play Joe Lewis up front no one else can put the ball in the net again. The lack of goals is sickning.

Simply don't play Cosgrove, if there remain goalscoring problems then consider options but big shit Sam is a no no .

[V for Vendetta]

I'd say stick Cosgrove in the reserves and use him off the bench occasionally.

 

But the problem is we have so few options up front.

 

A lot is hanging on Wilson and sounds like he might be out again for a few weeks.

May and Bruce Almighty then

[V for Vendetta]

May and Bruce Almighty then

Yep, but neither are going to be smashing in goals for us at this stage (for different reasons).

[fifered]

An OK performance but in reality we are pretty dogshit this season.  We have nothing up front and a midfield pairing in Ball and Shinnie with zero creativity.  I cant see us making top 5 this season unless something changes dramatically.  Bruce Anderson has to get a chance soon.  Cosgrove and May have had ample opportunities and proved time and again they are shite.  In the middle of the park either Forrester gets a chance or of not then Ferguson when hes back and Campbell have to get a go in an attacking midfield area.  We are creating nothing and have no goal threat from anywhere other than GMS. 

[V for Vendetta]

Yeah maybe it's time to change the central 2. Get Gleeson and Ball together.

 

Stick Shinnie left back.

 

In fact with Wilson injured its maybe time to get back to a 4231

 

Maybe give Forrester a start as the AM too?

 

We might as well make a few changes.

There was about 2000 Dandies there the day

 

Check YOUR facts, cunto

[Frank Grimes]

FWIW we were very solid in defence and midfield today

 

No worries there

 

Just offered nothing creatively in the final third, Celtic were shite so very frustrating

Our lack of goals is down to a lack of midfield creating chances more than any deficiencies up front.

As was the problem last season & not only was it not addressed last window it was only made worse.

 

We have not even come close to recovering from the loss of Hayes. He stepped up when McGinn never turned up (often).

 

Others have had fleeting spells of looking like they have potential to replace him in some ways but none have really come close.

McGinn is a rare boost now & again but we need someone to help GMS more regularly.

[Oregon Red]

Had time to think about it and generally we played well..but Celtic really are bad right now..so annoying that we are just as bad and cannot mount a challenge.

Defence was OK  i actually thought Considine had a great game. Logan is still a bit off form though.

Also think Ball had a good game.

Attack though is a problem, and i do not think Wilson is the answer..especially the way McInnes usually sets the team up to play. I thought May had some nice touches. Bringing Cosgrove on was a waste of a sub..should have been Andersonthen as the Celtic defence seemed more bothred when we keep the ball on the ground at speed...not worried atall by the height of Cosgrove

[RAZOR]

Was obvious on Tuesday night. Cosgrove is not good enough unfortunately.

Aye, the Tuesday after he signed. Last season.
