One of them said Kamberi was an optical illusion. I genuinely thought Kamberi was/would be the best of a bad bunch but he is a luxury that needs binned for sure. Clean sweep up front with exception to Anderson ? as 3rd/4th choice to prove he is worth another year’s contract & chance to work with Russel. two wingers would be nice. Kennedy is utter shite & McLennan is not any better. We could maybe still get a game from Ferguson/McCrorie with Browns help & McCrorie could fill at RB (if needed) but would imagine we need another CM as well. Maybe Cambell & Campbell ? defence we need two quality CH’s Considine as back up but keep him away from LB Ramsay & MacKenzie have chance to establish themselves as main FB’s if rest of team is strengthened but that’s a lot to ask of them after only just breaking through. We would be very lucky if BOTH were to be a success but none of them have been that poor yet that there isn’t hope. Link to comment
Chester Don Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 And that is a piss poor statement from Glass. He should actually have said we were outclassed, out fought, outplayed and that simply wasn’t good enough for AFC. 1 Link to comment

We need a total clear out, this lot are a fucking joke, I just hope DC doesn't hang SG out to dry with a lack of funding. This team is done, but they were done months ago, so the result today is not a great surprise. Link to comment

That’s concerning for next season. Having a preferred formation is fine, but when it’s getting torn a new arsehole, you try another formation. Link to comment
Guest milne_afc Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 It’s only a game, at the end of the day. Good job, because Aberdeen will never win the cup again. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 We've known since late last year that any side that presses us causes us problems that we just cannot seem to overcome. We retreat to playing passes along the back 4, into Ferguson/McCrorie/Campbell (delete as appropriate) and after a couple of touches/ricochets, it's passed back to the back 4 who are then pressed like fuck by the opposition and inevitably at best we lump a 60 yarder up the park or at worst we concede possession in a dangerous position. But other teams just look fitter than us too Link to comment

It was a chance for him to lay a marker down for the standards he will be demanding by saying performances like that will not be acceptable. Then again I’m hoping the majority of them aren’t here in the first X1 next season. Link to comment

Needed to at least make a tactical change after about 15 minutes when it was obvious they were getting the freedom of our left side. Even if it was just to tell Hayes to sit in for a while.

Majorly at fault for the first goal when he coughed up possession far too easily. That & Considine going too far inside & leaving an easy pass to McNulty. Where the fuck was Hayes though? We aren't playing 3 at the back any more. He was missing in action Link to comment

Hayes was AWOL at left back most of the first half, I get that Glass probably wants the full backs playing quite high up the pitch, but fuck me there’s a time to defend. Link to comment

Guest Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 A lot oh hyperbole re Glass on here. Glass or McInnes, this team were always capable of an appalling result like this. I don't think its fair to question Glass at this juncture, when we know there'll be wholesale changes in the Summer. This game was just the epitome of a terrible season, that started to rot the minute St.Mirren beat us in the League Cup QF. I think Glass deserves some credit for sticking with his preferred method of play. It's a bit of an acid test, and it'll show him who can adapt and who cant. There are a fair few who can't, and they'll have to go. I'm not panicking at all, he needs time. Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 There is nothing to be gained by SG slaughtering this shower in the media 75% will be away in 5-6 weeks time, never to darken our door again. We have in reality one point to play for this season to ensure 4th Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Pretty grim when Fraser Fyvie is saying that EVERY area of the pitch needs strengthened. He’s not wrong but it hurts coming from someone who failed with us too. Duff wasn’t quite so blatant but he always gave 100% in terms of fight but lacked ability. Link to comment

Which I think it's fair to say he didn't. I do think he could've brought on Hornby and went more direct at half time, even then though, how much difference that would've made, I don't know. It's such a cliche and I hate it, but a huge reason why we lost today were a lack of appetite and desire from our players. Epitomised by the second goal, Campbell shirks, others don't even try and affect the play. Anyone who's played football, at juvenile, amateur, junior, professional, whatever, everyone knows that if you can't win the header try after the play and put the man off. They all watched him rise above and plant it in the net. I hate this team of wimps. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 It's been said on here a few quality additions to the squad (with practically everyone out of contract being released) plus going with youth is the way forward. Well we saw today that Ramsay isn't ready. Campbell, more worryingly, also. MacKenzie has looked ok so far although cost us a goal a few weeks back. I think we have to choose ONE of those players for next season and make them first choice. But if we go with all 3 as regulars we could get embarrassed. Even with one of them, we have to accept there will be mistakes made that likely cost us points. My preference would be MacKenzie, but wouldn't argue if it's Campbell. The other 2 can still pick up game time, just not as regular starters and of course Ramsay has plenty time on his side as he's a good bit younger than the other 2. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 My positives from all this is that it will hopefully give Glass some backbone to make the massive changes required. He is seriously under spotlight & needs to show he has the bollocks to build HIS team Link to comment
