Jimmy Thelin

I see Jimmy is saying that he hopes to take the Dons into Europe next season.

Maybe start with teaching the players the basics of football first before we look at getting the passports out, eh?

He isn't going to say he hopes to take us into the Championship.

We'll come good again min.

Im sure we will, but as I said elsewhere Thelin really needs to wise up a bit on his approach.

Apparently Robinson post match said they had been playing 3-4-3 but went 5-3-2 to undo our central defence.

So thats twice now they have masterminded our downfall, with a made-to-match gameplan.

Thelin, despite all the evidence from the last saints game, picks Rubezic to go up against Olusanya again. Im sorry, but theres no universe where I will ever understand that decision.

Thelin rarely if ever does the made-to-match approach. A football philosophy is fine, but youve got to be pragmatic and realistic at the same time. If you dont have the players for your preferred style, youve simply got to adjust. He hasnt.

I couldn't agree more.

The most bothersome thing about yesterday for me, was seeing a very average SPL manager get the better of him so easily.

We can stick our noses up and the air and call St Mirren all the anti footballing names we want (and they are), but doesn't detract from the fact they bossed us easily in our own ground yesterday and didn't have to do very much to get the three points.

It doesn't matter how much faith we have in Thelin, if results don't turn soon he is either picking up his P45 or more likley, going to quit to save his reputation.

We have Jimmy and the boy at St Johnstone both coming in to the SPL and trying to implement a style of play that is alien to the Scottish league and both are struggling at the moment.

It would be sad to see us ditch Jimmy and go down the road of a Robinson style manager.

This is what I?m on about being in the this shyte Goldilocks zone

Robinson would undoubtedly finish above the pish in our league given the budget. Just like McHunnis & Calderwood did before

Would I want him at Aberdeen? Not a f*cking chance
