Very fair comment - the players are McInnes's and their style (using the term very loosely) is his too. We have been unfortunate with missing players for sure but adapting our style to cope with being outplayed and more importantly outfought by St Mirren is by any reasonable assessment a condemnation of his ability, recruitment and I suspect desire - he's been on a cushy number and if there was drive and vigour it has sadly long since left the building - he needs to follow - whilst we have had worse managers we've had better.

I thought the game was eking towards extra-time. The goal really came out of nothing. "Joe's been outstanding for me and mistakes happen. It's just unfortunate that that's a mistake that puts us out the cup. It was more than that that was at fault and Joe's just as likely to save us and win us so many points in a season." meh Used that too often. Hate a superfluous that. Link to comment

A more positive manager, with fresh ideas, someone less concerned with the other teams, and not afraid to really get up against them. 2 Link to comment

ABERDEENROWIE1903 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We have manager who is stale and needs a new challenge clearly he cannot improve us. He is on easy money and excellent salary no wonder he doesn't want to be moved on Chairman Dave please bring a new management team this ones finite life expired a long time ago We will never win anything whilst the likes of Ojo, Main and Devin are handing around Pittordrie and crept into the team Yes we have had serious injury issues but the depth of squad obviously not good enough when the bench warmers actually play on mass Disappointed once again but not surprised saw it coming once the draw was made Also chairman Dave can you please ensure Marty Watkins comes back as a major priority, he might not score a lot of goals but he gives 150% and sets up goals also seriously start looking at DMs replacement as a matter of urgency Link to comment

Please, just no. I’d be happy us going with someone from outside Scotland, someone who doesn’t have an inherent inferiority complex about playing the arse cheeks... just not Glass. Link to comment
The Lighthouse Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Looks like Cormack Park has been a runaway success... Is it just me or have we got worse since the players had to avoid dog shit while training at Seaton or other public parks? Getting tired saying the same thing year after year...Derek please just go and let us take our chances elsewhere. Link to comment
G31DON Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The thing i notice is that Derek likes "nice" players. No one that rocks the boat, or is a bit rough around the edges. It's been like this for years, they can play good football at times, but the passivity of the team when people need to stand up is chronic. Link to comment

Terrible decision by dmc that , Lewis should be captain. Next time you're round "Joe's" get "DMC" round too and you can hold court on his keeper intervention. You'll be doing him a favor sorting this all out. Take biscuits. Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Following morning, clear head, and I’m still raging. McInnes needs to go. That performance was simply unacceptable, irrespective of the injuries and Covid. Folk whose opinion I respect seem to suggest McInnes’ position is not as safe as we all thought. Link to comment
dervish Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I heard from them too. We all think you should write down(in strong lines) your thoughts. On heavy weight, nice, paper. Fold it up and see if the corner can tickle your Gspot. At worst less wiping. Link to comment
Matt Armstrong's Dog Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 12 hours ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Cosgrove is nowhere near as good as he thinks. Sell him in January if possible. Edmondson is a centre half converted to a centre forward, and it looks like it. Donkey. Curtis Main is just a fucking useless cunt - fucking horrible abomination of a player. Agree on all points. Cannot remember Cosgrove or Main doing anything positive of note last night. Main is simply not good enough whilst Cosgrove flatters to deceive. Link to comment

Compare his work rate to say, Lyndon Dykes, who went down south for a similar fee we accepted for Cosgrove. Chalk and cheese. How many of his goals last season were penalties? Must have been a fair few. Link to comment
Parklife Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I don't think Cosgrove is the problem. If we're completely incapable of playing the ball through midfield and resort to 60 yard punts to Cosgrove, I don't think we can blame him for that. Especially when, even when he wins the ball from them, there's not another red shirt within 15 yards of him. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 That's OK if you're happy with your main striker waiting for everyone else to do the work for him. Personally I think he's got to try and make things happen for himself and the team. Which includes more than breaking into a half hearted jog now and again. 1 Link to comment

I agree but a few times yesterday Sam came deep towards the halfway line to take the ball in to feet and link up the play. There's no way I want him doing that as deep as he had to. That, to me, shows a huge failing in our midfield. 1 Link to comment
