The players are usually found at Cormack Park in the morning and must mainly finish up around 1 as you can often find them dotting around Westhill shops at lunchtime.
You often see injured players jogging around Westhill in the afternoons too.

They also don't always train at Cormack Park either and they train as often as game schedule allows.

Out main issue is the system we use when up against teams that nullify it.

We don't have a plan b and is frustrating to watch when this happens.

We are a fairly young team, full on non Scottish players in a very physical league.

We had our best and worst winning and losing runs this season and still comfortably made top six.
We reached on cup semi and have a final to look forward too.

Id say a very acceptable first season for a manager coming into a new country and league.
I work all over the country so hopefully that explains my presence in Aberdeen often (away from football).

I don?t think we have a great training structure/strategy in place and that is why we play the way we currently do.

As for a physical league (this isn?t just you that gets caught up on this mantra) can I suggest that our cup final opponents can play some really good football and even though they are up against physical (in other words a poor football team) competition now and again they generally beat them no problem. My point being that if we prepare better at training, maybe even upping our efforts we might see a massive benefit.

Who honestly here thinks we will win the cup?
I will make the prediction that the game will be out our grasp by half time (and i really hope I am wrong). We don?t prepare properly for matches as we obviously don?t work hard enough.

THE LAZY DONS might have the last laugh but my goodness they will need all the luck going because it won?t be down to being a far better team on that day.

That being said let?s hope we do the business and if it means we score the winning goal that is the flukiest goal we have ever seen I am sure we will all be ecstatic.

Also we might get handed a win if Celtic don?t turn up since they feel hard done by due to us receiving more tickets than they expected.
