They just missed out on the top 6 due to bouldings winner, as game DM attended knowing he was taking over and decided to sign Flood, he won the league cup sure but it wasn't impressive, snuck a dour 0-0 on pens v an ICT side who played twice (Sunday they lost 5-0 us in the Scottish and had a rescheduled midweek league game vs Hibs to play) that week in the lead up to the final whereas Aberdeen had the full week to focus on it
Choked most big games including going very negative (including at Ibrox just midweek), plus losing semi finals to both us and St Johnstone from winning positions etc
