Huns v The Dons

[irnbru1903]

After a few hours to calm down and reflect on yesterday's game at a place where I would never expect a result. Nope still angry as f uck at such a lame effort from everyone involved especially our eejit manager. He has no ability to change a game in time to have any impact on the result. Yes, set out an attacking team but when everyone bar one can see it is not working surely changing it is a no brainer. He is not learning from his mistakes nor is he admitting to them. I honestly don't rate him at all. St Mirren was his peak.

This ^ for me gets to the crux ! I said it at the start and continued to say it.. absolutely no due diligence was done on Goodwin and his ability to manage Aberdeen FC, He got lucky at St Mirren in his two and a half years there but lost and drew more games than he won ... So good enough for Aberdeen ? How closely was his tactical awareness looked at ? and his ability to change that in the course of a game, Part of me applauds his ambition yesterday ( and we have to be honest here its what we've been screaming out for a long time now ... Have a Go !, When it was obvious w2e were failing to consolidate after going 1-0 up and a huge threat was coming down both wings from the scum. did he change it ? go to a back four ? Nope and that for me was the biggest disappointment yesterday his inability to at least try change tactics in the course of a game, Was all option discussed with the players (of course we have no way of knowing) but it didn't look like it. We were being overrun the team on the field weren't able to adjust they didn't know how.. That's what Goodwin gets paid for ! To do the thinking to do the planning to do the tactical tweeks when needed .... I remain unconvinced by this guy and I'm sure there was better out there. I myself would have made Robbie Neilson an offer he couldn't refuse.
