I admire you willingness to back "our current coach" but let me ask you. Does the AC Mill Inn manager send his team out to win every game? Or does he set up for damage limitation and spreads the disbelief through the team.

I sure as f@ck never played for a team with that mentality. Even when I was Juniors. My team were no great shakes but by **** we got torn into teams no matter who they were. Like a gang. We even pulled of some cracking results in the process (including putting Formartinks oot the cup starting my hatred of them that day) We were never beaten at the first whistle we may have been at the last but we got stuck in trying

That's not the mantra of McInnes. He does not think his team is capable of winning every game. Its a worrying and infuriating issue
I daresay your games in the juniors were played on a fairly level playing field. And I'm not talking about the state of the pitches.I'm meaning the finances of the teams involved.

And I reckon McInnes does believe his team CAN win every game, or at least every domestic game. Yesterday , for example , I reckon he took the view that the best chance of winning the game was to stay in the game as long as possible , by picking a team that would work hard to try to deny their better creative players much time and space. And at 1-0 we were very much still in the game.
