If you write it down on a piece of paper, I'll pass it on to someone in the club shop, who'll pass it on to one of the groundsmen, who'll pass it on to the kitman, who'll pass it on to physio, who'll pass it on to one of the players - this is the best form of communication according to our manager.
I've concluded already that Bryson is going to be a useless signing. He's going to be injured more often than he's fit. And when he plays he's going to be alongside Ferguson and Ojo and they are a terrible combination. If he's fit, lets go 442, use him and Ferguson as box to box midfielders which is what they are, and play an extra man up front with Cosgrove (Wilson would be my choice).
Utterly dismal.
Negative, risk averse, safety first, unimaginative, hoofball pish.
We started slowly with none of the zip of the county game which had me worried it was going to be one of those days from the start.
Picked it up from about the 15th minute to 30th, got the goal & then went back into our shell. I am just sick & tired of watching that.
Their goal was a joke. Shambolic defending on the right letting the boy come inside & cut it back but ffs O’Halloran had the freedom of the city at the edge of the box. Even then he sclaffed it & Lewis badly at fault.
That’s the worst I’ve seen Joe play. Poor goal conceded & his distribution was gash. Several times he could have got us away potentially on the counter with a quick release but held onto the ball far too long.
More evidence of the safety first, scared mindset.
Not good enough by a long way today - any of them. Saints actually deserved to win that on the second half.
Not one attempt on goal in the second half bar the free kick near the end - unacceptable.
We’re too slow & ponderous (we’re scared) & take far too long to get the ball into the box from out wide - if it gets there at all. No wonder we have so few attempts on goal when we fail to get the ball into the box 9 times out of 10.
Defence is an absolute bomb scare. Can’t see where a clean sheet is coming from but the midfield failed to provide good cover yesterday. The Hun Holt had the run of the midfield and was breaking forward at will with no one tracking him - poor.
I’ve seen enough of Vyner to know he’s nae a right back. The boy canna cross a ball for a start (nae much use for a full back that) & his forward distribution is gash. To be fair all our defenders can’t pass forward so even hoofball doesn’t work.
Only bright spot was that my confident prediction of May doing absolutely feck all was spot on - dreadful, ineffective & exactly the same as the pish I’ve watched the last two years. Thank feck we punted him.
DM called the team out two games ago for playing like this so for them to revert to type so quickly is ominous for him. He’s safe enough for now obviously with that @rsehole chairman but he clearly cannot motivate that lot to have a positive mindset & approach which for me means it’s only a matter of time until his position becomes untenable - the trouble is that might be far too long a period of time with the neep in charge.
I’m now back to really not enjoying my football or looking forward to going to Pittodrie again - depressing...
Just watched the highlights if you can call them that.
Hold my hands up and say it was never a penalty so I apologise to Considine for saying it was.
Surprised the boy never got booked for a blatant dive.
