Welcome back Stephen Glass

[Andy_123]

Glass has to go but Neil Lennon ffs? Binned from Hibs for being a headcase then managed to undo all Rodgers good work at Celtic in record time. No thanks.

He isn’t. He was sacked by Hibs.

He was sacked by Celtic as soon as there was serious competition to them. 

 

He was sacked by Hibs for telling a woman who is an out lesbian that she was a "rug muncher" (and questioned her competence in the same rant). 

Up until that point he was doing just fine with them. 

I admit that I'd have happily taken Lennon off them, prior to Milne giving DM his final contract extension. Now though...no thanks. His last 2 transfer windows with Celtic were frankly bizarre, and given the position he was starting from in comparison to sevco, to manage to end up 18 points behind sevco after only 24 months was quite an achievement.

I reckon if Lennon was Celtic manager around the time Aberdeen were pushing a wee bit we might have had a better chance. Slightest bit of pressure and he would have shat the bed

I don't see him lasting past November. Hopefully we pull something out our arse this coming month. 

He will absolutely be here for the whole season, even if we lost the three games against the Cheeks and Hibs in October (in my opinion).

There are a lot of positives in the team from where we were under the tail end of McInnes and whilst the results have not been as expected, patience is required to allow that to click.

Its been fine margins that have went against us and we need to turn them into positives

Davidson, Goodwin, Neil etc are guys we should be sounding out. 

Nah, nae convinved on them either.

Given how poor we've been, were still above Davidson and Goodwins teams, who's only wins have come against us, so they've been even poorer against the other teams.

As for Lennon, deary me, should never be considered to be the boss of Aberdeen

[jamiesd]

Fuck me I'd have Jim Duffy before Lennon.  Mental

[Andy_123]

Remember when Glass said if you lined up all our summer signings you would be very impressed with our business? Well here we go;

 

Gurr - Hopeless

Ramirez - Looks ok but if we are paying him a big wage by our standards then we could do better 

JET - Underwhelming

Woods - N/A but will hopefully get a run in the team now

Brown -  Been ok but doesn't have the legs to do everything himself

Gallagher - Very underwhelming

Jenks - Hopeless

And since that interview with him we've also signed;

Samuels - Doesn't look like he has any end product. Doubt we'll remember he was even here in a couple years time

Watkins - Hopefully after a run of games he gets going

Bates - Hopefully after a run of games he gets going but didn't look great yesterday

Longstaff - Pointless

 

I think I've got the players the right way round there. I'm not very impressed at all looking at that. There must be a phenominal amount of money being spent on wages on that lot. This has the potential to be as bad as any of the windows we had under McInnes towards the end of his time here, and some of those were pretty bad.

It doesn't have to be either. 
 

Lennon would be a laugh at least. 
 

Next guy can't be anyone but an experienced SPFL manager. Someone who knows Scottish football. 
 

I was against this type of appointment before Glass, but as every week goes by, it's clear you need someone who knows what horses for what courses. SG still needs a bit more time to see improvement, but it's a worry atm.

Well that’s a thoroughly depressing thought. I would take Davidson for obvious reasons but there’s very slim pickings in that market.

Just to clarify,

Yes!!!!!

I wanted Lennon to be given the gig this time round to replace McHunnis with, but that never happened coz white teeth Cormack took the easy and cheapest option and it's clearly nae working

Then you’re an utter moron.

I like the glass half full attitude, but losing games, like winning them, can become a habit.

We have missed a few sitters in games that were finely balanced, Ramirez has had his fair share, and if you convert those, then the outcome may well have been very different.

Think it would be papering over the cracks though.We are horrendous defensively at the mo.

As has been said on here, when you miss Andy Considine, and I like the lad, you know you’re not good at the back.

I know you'll think that I'm just having a go but I'm genuinely interested in the lots of positives coz apart from the emergence of Ramsay (and maybe McKenzie) I can't see any.

Ramsay and MacKenzie are two for a start.

I also like the way we are dominating games far more. We've dominated Ross County, Motherwell, St Johnstone and St Mirren (until Jenks sending off) and just needed to be a bit more clinical to get the all important first goal.

Were trying to keep possession more instead of just lumping it long.

Of course there are negatives as well which we have to work on and eradicate, but the signs are there that we are transitioning to a better style which will in time I'm sure result in more positive results

I think Gallagher & McCrorie have already individually had more bad games this season than Considine has in the last 8 years

[afc1903mad]

^^^^^^

I honestly don't know why McCrorie gets as much criticism as he does. He's my first pick at CH at the moment

We have loads of possession, yet manage to create nothing...

Thats 2 games in a row we have "dominated possession  " (fan danned) for 30 mins then the other team get a chance, take it and we are behind

Probably because he's dogshit and like a fish out of water at centre half

I dont think he us, he plays the mctominay for Scotland role

An attacking center half 

Football is crazy now actually as we have defensive forwards, attacking center halves and sweeper keepers

Inverted wingers is another one

Exactly. All very well passing it about, but we've created very little in these games from open play.

The pressure was on every year. He done shocking last season but winning another treble after taking over from Rodgers was a good achievement. 
 

He’s not the man to take over though. 

Then whose the man.???

We were always in control of games against these kind of crappy teams under McInnes as well. With McInnes it was more passing it across the back then a big punt up to Cosgrove... now it's just passing it about in the middle, get it wide and put it in the box occassionally. I don't feel we're really dominating in the sense of hemming teams in to their own penalty box or anything. Our possession stats are good but it doesn't translate into anything, and we seem to leak goals more easily than ever.

I admire your optimism, but I just can't see it myself - I don't see the results changing any time soon. The goalkeeper is a mess, the defence still seems a bit all over the place at times, and Hedges and Ramsay aside there is basically no creativity in the side. The signings made have been generally poor (to put it politely) and give me no confidence that he'll improve the team with future signings he makes.

We just don’t have quality inverted wingers.

Qarabag showed that with 3 of their.4 goals against us cause buy these wingers cutting inside

It's personal taste. I prefer to stretch teams at the back and get their defenders turned

Sort of. We have created good chances in recent games and failed to take them.

we need to learn to be more clinical

Probably because we don’t have quality ones that end up slowing the game down and just lumps into the box from deep.

McGinn does this all the time which really frustrates me.

Inverted wingers cut inside and continue attacking on their stronger foot. We just cut back onto our stronger foot and wait till their defenders get back into position
