St Johnstone v Aberdeen

[rico94]

Absolutely this ^^^^

We have some good individuals (on their days - which are far too infrequent).

What we don't have is a good squad. This squad is completely unbalanced and just cannot play together. It doesn't work. It's clear as day.

That's mainly on the manager, but the recruitment side needs a right good kick up the arse as well cause the recruitment has for the most part this year been abysmal.

Pieandbovrilman made a good point re "who do we replace him with?" cause there's no outstanding candidates and lets be honest, who trusts Dave (and that fuuckin gype Milne remember) to get it right.

One thing it won't cost is a fortune though. One of the few sensible things Dave has done re managerial appointments was to give this clueless loser only a 2 year contract. I thought at the time it showed the level of faith he had in him - a level of faith which has been sadly proved correct.

So it won't cost that much to get rid. What will cost money is keeping him. We've already pretty much blown the £5m from 3rd place for next year, so how much more money is that clown gonna be allowed to cost us before sanity prevails...

It’s going to cost a fair amount to get rid of a good chunk of the squad and bring in their replacements this summer which the next manager will do if he has any sense.Far too many of the players aren’t putting in the effort for the fans who are forking out hard earned cash to support them.

The problem is a lot of these guys are on 3 or 4 year deals so we either pay them off or send them out on loan like we have done with Stewart,Richardson and Besuijen.

On top of that we will be looking for replacements for Barron,Roos,Miovski and probably Duk so I can see Cormack having to fork out for another 10-12 players this summer.

For the record, and I know I'll get shouted down for saying this, some of us on here have been bemoaning Robson since mid August as we could ultimately see what was ahead.

His tactics are hopeless and actually worse than that they are detrimental to the team and the result, changing to a back 5 when we're 1 up against St Johnstone is incredible.

His devotion to certain players when others either deserve to be starting or when he subs players to keep on his "favourites" is baffling.

He's finally decided to change shape to a back 4 but with no wingers then you're narrow as flock, he chooses to go to a 4 far too late in the season and has left us with next to no time to address the imbalance in the team with the window slamming shut in a few days.

His post match comments make no sense whatsoever and his ear tugging and similar things that others have posted about don't show a sense of professionalism to me.

Lastly, the football on show is eye bleeding and quite possibly some of the worst I've ever watched AFC play. I've watched us about 90% of possible games on TV this season and can say with a large dollop of ease that about 5-10% of those games I've been entertained. I watch out of devotion to my club but if I was a drop in/out supporter then I'd have given up a looooong time ago.

Cormack wants season tickets to increase year on year but there is ZERO chance of those that bought for the first time this season signing up for the 24/25 season. The supporters set records for this season with season tickets and shirts etc but what we've been served up on the pitch is league 1 at best.

Time was up for Robson as far back as September/October for me and he has done nothing to address any of the obvious issues that were prevalent back then.

Thanks for your efforts Baz but do the honourable thing and leave before you're pushed, you don't want to turn into another McGhee and sully the great name you had with the club before you became manager.
