A few I’d say tried, including Hayes and McRorie. I think this is the biggest shambles at the Club I can recall going back more decades than I care to remember!
Aye, these flocking snowflakes seem to forget who pays their wages. Paid wages in return for 100% effort EVERY game. Regardless of who their boss is. Gutted that our club is tolerating this level of sh1te from well paid snowflakes. I'm sure other clubs that they may aspire to have noticed whats going on. Barstewards stealing supporters money under totally false pretences. 😣💩❄

I agree ... but thought Duk also put in a shift - in fact more of a shift than should hae been required due tae the blatant lack o' support he was offered when on the ball. That was one major aspect of the game which had me wondering if some of our team were throwin' the game tae get shot o' JG.
Hope Ah'm wrang, and surely Ah must be .... but if it comes oot that any Dons player acted in anyway tae facilitate the likelihood o' a defeat, they need tae be got tae f()ck.
Based on what I’ve seen this last week / 10 days the only ones I’d keep are McCrorie (nae a world beater but never hid) Shinnie (we ken he gets it. He needs to get up to speed) and Duk.
Hayes is done. He’s been a great servant though so deserves put out to pasture gracefully.
The rest can absolutely GTF. Not one of them should stay a moment longer than necessary to get them replaced.
Players get off far too easy. That level of disrespect to our club, our shirt and our support is unforgivable - not that any of them will give two fuucks about it…
I doubt other clubs will be that bothered by what we perceive as a downing of tools. That might happen with individual players who appear to have a bad attitude or poor work ethic...usually throughout their career...but when an entire team fails to function so spectacularly, they'll look at the manager and the club in general. Do you think Jurgen Klopp will decide to bin Clarkson because Hibs beat us 6-0? He'll make his own judgement on his ability...that's all. Some pundits might lay into them but that's about it.
McCrorie is one of the few players who visibly tries to a noticeable level
He's constantly being pissed around in different positions - for me he's better in midfield, he's not a very good defender, Goodwin said he was a midfielder and started him there, it was only due to the utterly pathetic options in defensive positions and the complete inability of any of the current fullbacks at the club to actually defend he got moved back into defence
Plus the fact the club continued to sign fluffy dainty little 'attacking' midfielder types , most of them being borderline midgets that also contributed to shifting McCroie back into a defensive position just to fit him in the team
That's what i don't get, all the money that was spent on wingers and midfielders, the club even went and signed another dainty central attacking midfielder type in January when any budget remaining absoluetly shoud have been used to correct the utter ****show for a back 4 the club has
The lack of defensive attributes in the squad is laughably bad recruitment . and that's at the hands of Cormack, because he was the one who thought he could just import the Atlanta soccer style of management to the club with a director of football overseeing the signings and the manager just sayin the wants this type of player or that type of player leaving it to Gunn and Mowbray - it started with Glass, continued with Goodwin and will continue with the next manager who will be a puppet who has to play the players the club signs
And i am not saying it's a bad model, it works , but the recruitment has to be bang on, and you start with any team building a foundation at the back - being hard to beat, we signed a left back on loan- purley to develop him for and old firm team, and payed him in a position he is not suitable for, hes a full back at best, signed a player who has spent all his career for Wycome in league 1, and 2 wingbacks who have absolutley no idea how to defend, a 5 year old can tell you whats wrong with the team

I think a lot of people are thinking that Liam Scales is a left back because Willie Miller said he was on the radio.
I think Willie is assuming he is a left back because he was used as one when he played for Celtic last season.
If you look at his career when he was playing in Ireland he has played most of his games as a centre back so I would say he is a centre back.
He’s just not a very good one.
I guess the law of averages says I'd eventually agree with one of your posts. The third goal yesterday when he was pushed off the ball by a streak of piss typified his "defending". His bombing up the wing usually ends up in a cul-de-sac as he can't pick out a cross, can't shoot so usually passes to Kennedy who will bring the ball back all the way to Stewart or Scales.
