With time, continued progress and added investment, however, I believe we could get there.
While I have said the very words you have, im starting to get tired of the lack of big game mentality within the squad. Hibs was a big game for us on Saturday and winning it would have set us up nicely going into the Celtic game this weekend. Only 6 points would have separated us. Imagine then having the back bone to take the game to Celtic and actually try and beat them… hwat a statement that would of made. Not to be though.. again!!

We could blame it on things losing Shinnie, but we should have been prepared, as we knew Shinnie would be out for these games weeks ago. Im a staunch Mcinnes supporter, but even I can see the cracks. Every season it’s the same thing, we just cant win important games. That does have something to do with budget in games against Celtic and Sevco, as you have mentioned, but other teams are getting points off of them and to me its more than just money or them raising their game against us.

Hibs on Saturday was a bigger game than many of us thought it was and its likely set the benchmark for the rest of the season. No doubt we will see our usual post-split debacle and failure to capitalise on other teams dropping any points against each other. While our reign under McInnes has been good, its been filled with a load of “what-if’s” and disappointments and this season will be no different, though im happy to be proven wrong.
