I think when Bryson comes back we're going to see a midfield 3 of Ojo, Ferguson and Bryson which is classic McInnes, hard working, try to do this "game management" nonsense, but with no creativity whatsoever. He won't drop Ojo or Ferguson and Bryson is his "big name" so he's most certainly going to play if he's fit. There's no room for a creative, attacking midfielder. Gallagher is in the midfield at the moment but I don't think even he knows what position he's meant to be playing. Wilson should be given a chance alongside Cosgrove, or just in behind him. The whole thing's a shambles and I wouldn't be confident that McInnes dipping into the transfer market again is going to solve it.

    As much as afcmad is outnumbered on here
    I think it was actually Rijeka that were given a generous and sporting round if applause at the end 🤔

    Where is afcmad. He's not been on for ages 😲

    I was thinking more in terms of sacking McInnes today and giving a new manager nough time to bring in a few players of his own.

    Surely he’s not hiding? He’s always the first to throw that accusation about

    Ahhh I see! I think you're dreaming! I don't think there'd be much scope for a new manager bringing players in anyway. I can see a load of players departing already in January though - on performances so far.... Wyner, Leigh, Gallagher will all return to parent clubs, Gleeson will be gone, May will be away, McKenna possibly sold, Wright and Anderson back out on loan

    Of course I'm dreaming, what else is there to do?

    Mcinnes is the luckiest AFC manager of all time. No Huns, hearts imploded and Hibs did too. Then the jutes disappeared.

    On top of that, Celtic had Ronnie as their manager.

    Yet we have a solitary league cup to show for it.

    He inherited Hayes and McGinn. Two most dangerous players in the league at one point. Made his selections and tactics straightforward.

    He's had plenty of time and we have gone backwards. If he were anywhere else he'd have been scrambling for a job in the old 1st division.

    There must have been a lot of Rejika fans in the Dick Donald then.

    The tide may be turning, but I wouldn't say it had turned.
    However, after Sunday, it may well do.
    But not in the eyes of the man that counts, Stewart Milne
