But I think most of the fanbase was disappointed to say the least when they saw the Pittodrie lineup announced.

What I’d like to know is:

Did we simply go with the cheap option, or REALLY intend to promote the youth players?
Sunday’s selection and performance has the jury out on that one.
If TC persists with the same team as last week (against Rangers), then I believe we simply went with the cheap option, but tried to masquerade it as being the only managerial option to blood youth, and I’m sorry, but that not only leaves more of a bitter taste, than the risk of bringing the youth players through the system (with an intent to sell on), but tries to make a mug of the fans, which are the lifeblood of any team.
So many mixed messages from the club, it’s no wonder the fans are divided and very, very frustrated and vociferous!
The next few weeks, and selection will be telling, and ultimately determine TC’s future.

I don't disagree with you, I thought the selection on Sunday was appalling and went against everything we were promised, attacking, exciting football and youth being given a chance. I'm just not convinced playing against the current champions is the right to be binning all the old guard and blooding the youngsters. I want to see the youngsters as much as anyone but if they play, we get hammered, which let's be honest could happen what does that do to their confidence and morale going forward?
