A bad Atlanta trip, then comes the fall

[redcryptoknight]

Everyone knows our form took a massive knock after the world cup, but it might be more to the point to say our form took a massive knock after the Atlanta trip.

We took the team on what seemed like a fairly pointless 8,000 mile round journey to play Atlanta's second string players.

What was the benefit to Aberdeen? What was the point of it all? It isn't obvious to me. 

I think by now we all assume that something happened with Vinny while they were away. Did that unspecified event, or even another event unsettle the rest of the squad too?

A part of me suspects our season may have unraveled for the sake of a Cormack vanity trip. On the other hand, you can't blame the Atlanta trip for Goodwin's tactics against Celtic.

Didn’t warrant a new thread.

Can’t say that for sure. We might have been worse without the trip.

[fine-n-dandy]

I don’t think the trip to Atlanta was the issue. The main issue was bringing the majority of the team back

[aberdeen1970]

Aye first mistake was buying return air fares

This was discussed in Goodwin out and Cormack thread, keep up

It's only merit was exposing the covid non-believers within the squad

[WesthillWanderersFC]

We need more of the Atlanta link.

Bring these lads to the Red Shed.

They’re, em… different…

What was the point of the trip? What’s the point in going to dubai or tenerife. It’s usually a nice perk for the squad to get away in a mid season break. 
 

let’s be honest we weren’t exactly flying at ANY stage for the last 2 years. We just managed to get even worse after the trip.

Yep. Weird that some people need a conspiracy theory to explain absolutely everything that happens.

Aye no conspiracy is needed for the dons being shite at the moment unfortunately. We are all quite used to it

Wonder what seats the players picked on the flight 🤔

[RUL]

It was a pointless trip but I think we just lost confidence after celtic and rangers games. Then Stewart fucked up v st mirren and fans turned against the team and whole thing was fucked.

[The Gee Man]

Normally they come back from a trip and there is a decent amount of PR, can’t remember any that’s how embarrassing it was.

Also reeks of more time with the coaches = players more confused and less confident than ever.

Aka Alex Miller effect.

More like Hash Browns

I’d say the Celtic match at home had more of an impact than the trip to Atlanta

Agreed. Goodwin effectively told them you're not good enough to win this game so we're not going to try. Cunt. 

 

Also, bin this Atlanta connection. Pure nonsense @Cormack
