He put out a team of players who should be more than capable of seeing off any challenge from Darvel of all teams. These players who entered onto the pitch for that match should be moved on as quickly as possible. Absolutely no excuses needed about age, lack of matches etc…if you wear the jersey representing Aberdeen you have a standard you should be required to reach. Getting beat off Darvel isn’t it. Everyone of those players should get hounded out the club as well as the manager.
We cannot just rip up contracts and get rid of players anymore than we can include clauses in managers contracts that stipulate certain results mean instant dismisal. Pie in the sky fantasy stuff.

The players were as much to blame for the result, but we are stuck with most until we can agree transfers with other clubs or to terminate contracts which cost money we don't have.

There are also good players at the club who have possibly been let down by poor tactics/management and hopefully that part is remedied today at least.

Getting rid of Goodwin won't fix everything though.
