At least we created several excellent chances today. I think the goals will come Watkins is a real find too, works his ass off, I reckon he will start finding the net soon enough. Link to comment
shooftahmooftah Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Good win, but the lack of goals scored the past 5 games does not bode well when goal difference counts come end of season. Need to start winning games 3 or 4 nil. Has Mcinnes any finger nails left, any more squeaky bum games and he will be starting on his toe nails. 1 Link to comment

Sort of agree but then end up asking - when has Goal difference mattered at the end of the season? Link to comment
Fridge Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yeah think he must read on here. Decent performance today although was a bit scary towards the end. Link to comment
Sheepo Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Good Win and a clean sheet, thought the back 3 were superb as was Hayes & Kennedy. Looked really slick in the first half but sat a bit deep for a 10 minute spell in the 2nd half. Not killing off teams has been our Achilles heel for a while now, if we can sort that out it could be a good season. Then again if Wright scores we are in a much easier place Link to comment
Superdon!!!11oneoneuno Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 On another day we might have had 3 or 4. Wright's miss, two great saves from Hayes, and a couple of times the ball bobbled in front of their net just waiting for a foot to get on it. The win was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests even if Killie did gain more possession as we stopped pressing. Killie are organised and well drilled, but while they're not a bad team they're not a great team either. We should be expecting to beat them at home if we're to do anything this season. This might be the best side we've had in a while. A few cracking youngsters and some solid, experienced players. This Venezuelan lad, Hernandez(?) is he an Aberdeen player or was he signed to bypass some MLS rule, and he'll be off to Atlanta at the end of the season? Link to comment

Besides, I thought people were complaining about the football being crap, now we are playing well people are moaning that we aren’t scoring enough. Impossible to please some people. 1 2 Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Also what’s with all the tin foil hat theories about Hernandez? 3 Link to comment
Superdon!!!11oneoneuno Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 He cost us a record fee, around about a million quid, and he's not even being used as a late sub to get him integrated into the match squad. I'd understand if he were injured, too young, or just plain pish, but I'd like to think the club is more able to scout someone for that kind of money who is none of those things. For that kind of money he should be a star player for us, not some forgotten reserve team player. It's surprising that no-one's surprised that we've pissed away that kind of money on someone who doesn't get a game, particularly considering McInnes has paid far less for players and kept playing them even if they're not producing on the field, a'la Stevie May. 1 2 Link to comment
Bamber Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Agree with BHL- Look at the subs and the team we had a sub goalie, 2 defenders 2 midfielders 2 attackers Now the team we set up with 3 at the back and 2 wing backs what if it needs changing? you bring on a full back - Andy C can go LB so we need a Right Back We could use Ash if we wanted height which is possible given the size of the Killie team so you can play either logan or hernadez if we are going 4 at the back its defensive so you put your next best defensive right back on the bench - Thats logan Hernandez is suffering when we play 3 at the back there is no real place for him - If we played 4 at the back he would get much more game time - Hell be on he plane Thursday im sure and will get game time in the celtic double header Link to comment

Forgotten reserve team player ? What an absolute drama queen you are. We’re only 5 games into the season and you come away with this nonsense. Still, write him off if you want to ??♂️ 4 Link to comment
Superdon!!!11oneoneuno Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Technically we signed him last season, and there were about a dozen games played before the shutdown. For a million quid, you'd think we'd be forcing him into the first team right away. Is there a reasn he's not playing? 1 Link to comment

RUL Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Is it not positive to think he's going to have to really up his level to get in? Means we will be even better. Link to comment
Superdon!!!11oneoneuno Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Hayes was fairly ineffectual and bordering on shite in his first few games first time around. I remember the criticism he got. But a decent run in the side and he became arguably our most important player. Now I'm not saying Hernandez isn't shite, but two things would strike me about that. First, he's not getting any first team game time that might improve him, and at 22 he's more than old enough to be a first team regular. Second, how weird is it that we've signed someone that bad for a record fee? You would think a club like Aberdeen, who spent so long borderline insolvent, would be way more careful than that with their money. 1 1 Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yes, a good win against a solid if unglamourous Killie side. We have put together a decent wee run now. Not to be negative, but we need to start taking 2 or 3 off teams to wrap games up - but I think that will come, we had a few chances for more today. As long as we keep making changes, we will get there. McCrorie is great - is there any mechanism for the huns to renege on the loan-then-purchase arrangement? Either by curtailing his loan, or by refusing to sell him? If he continues to impress, they might questions the wisdom of offloading him, not least given they picked up a few injuries today.

Taylor came on as a sub. Potentially could see him slot back in for Hoban. McCrorie has been very good, but with the couple of knocks to his leg and him icing it at the end, I’d be tempted to play McGeouch in there and keep McCrorie for next Sunday against Motherwell 1 Link to comment

I'd keep McCrorie and Ferguson to get a run of games in there. The more those two play together the better they're going to get. We've got a real partnership in the making. If Hoban isn't fit to play twice a week I'd bring in Taylor and keep the midfield intact. Link to comment

I agree, but I’m not sure DM will do that. And he’s been quoted as saying that Hoban isn’t in a position to play three games in 7/8 days which is a pity as he has a good influence on McKenna I think.
