One of you is right

[Pacman1903]

His record v the pigs is atrocious and is not brought on by finances as I kept being told last night

At a rough count is it 12 games

1 win

11 defeats

4 scored

24 conceded


or have I miscounted

Brendans bitch whatever the correct tally is.




Also to be noted-A year ago on Wednesday/Thursday he was soul searching. Funny that a year to the day he will be back where he was

Ok sir Jimmy, your point?

[Pacman1903]

Ok sir Jimmy, your point?

He has a serious mental issue when it comes to play them. (along with the mental issue that caused him to play our worst striker, against a team we notoriously don't score against.)He proved that last season when he disrupted a confident team on a nine game unbeaten streak to sit back and let them walk all over us. This when I gave up with him and is why I don't like him. He has the wrong mentality to take us anywhere. He is gutless when it counts and he does not learn from mistakes. People may love the also ran badges we are in a habit of winning but we could have and should have don better under his command.

If the supposed second best team in the countrys manager fears the best team in the country, no much wonder the treble treble is on. We were the second best team in a league that was poor with a poor poor celtic for two seasons. Other teams are improving around us Hearts, Sevco obviously and Killie are battling away for the second season and are a surprise package but they are a decent team make no doubt about that. We are not improving we have stayed on the same level to an extent barring up front where the whole situation we are in is nothing short of a f@cking joke. But that has been brought on by sh@te recruitment and playing haddies before our best stiker who has since departed.not seeing the bigger picture when Rooney wasn't playing is a huge part of the position we are in

F@ck you runners up badges. The fact we were sh@te for so long has hampered our support as there is far to much of the "look where were before" "Mark McGhee" or the "4 finals in his charge" attitude and being mediocre is acceptable. I'm not looking for a treble. I just want to see a team that believes it can win every game it plays on the park in front of me. Absolutely nowhere near it. Not even a sniff of that in his charge. We are not going into games not believing we can win. The games a bogey if that's the attitude.

All of the above lies at his door and we are unlikely to improve under his soulsearch....I mean command

And breathe.....

All I ask is that the players leave f uck all on the pitch, I was absolutely gutted yesterday as was our team/management and most importantly fellow supporters.....we got behind our team, the players did their utmost....as long as night follows day you can guarantee the usual suspects would be on here with that result.

Onwards and upwards

To where?

We could be 12 points off the top of the league in two days time.

I admire you willingness to back "our current coach" but let me ask you. Does the AC Mill Inn manager send his team out to win every game? Or does he set up for damage limitation and spreads the disbelief through the team.

I sure as f@ck never played for a team with that mentality. Even when I was Juniors. My team were no great shakes but by **** we got torn into teams no matter who they were. Like a gang. We even pulled of some cracking results in the process (including putting Formartinks oot the cup starting my hatred of them that day) We were never beaten at the first whistle we may have been at the last but we got stuck in trying

That's not the mantra of McInnes. He does not think his team is capable of winning every game. Its a worrying and infuriating issue

[Pacman1903]

Ok sir Jimmy,

I don't get that by the way

You lambast the people who mentioned him earlier then call someone who did not get involved with it at any point by the horrible ****ers name. Bizarre

Your count is wrong.
I recall DM beating Celtic twice in the 13/14 and 15/16 seasons.

Apologies Brendas pigs I meant

[hulldon]

I may be looking at things through rose-tinted spectacles a little, especially as work and geography mean I see the team so little, but I think that yesterday's showing showed that DM is as good a manager as BR. (maybe not a great complement!?) Tactically he did something we hadn't done before against the Dhims - as far as I'm aware - in that we meant man-to-man all over the park with only Scott M as spare man. We stopped them playing out from goalie's kicks and only let Benkovic or Boyata have any time on the ball. If he'd picked |May instead of Cosgrove this would have worked even better defensively as May would have closed down the entre-backs more effectively, so Ferguson would not have had to leave McGregor at times and Cosgrove couldn't do the closing down all the time. I guess he picked him as our best chance of scoring realistically was from set-Plays, and two of our best chances did come from them - Consi's offside effort in the first half and a McKenna flicked header in the second. BR didn't make any changes, really and when was the last time you saw Celtic's best players - Forrest, Sinclair, McGregor, Rogic so ineffective against us. Yes, I know we lost and I'm as gutted as the next Dons fan, but as far as managing went yesterday, DM did a good job.

Now, I'm not going to say I'm totally delighted with DM or think he's up there with Fergie or anything, and his transfer dealings, this season especially have been poor, but as far as yesterday was concerned, he got the team playing to a pattern that very nearly worked - a bit of luck and it might have done. As far as the team believing they could win, I think you saw by their reaction at the end, and their in-your-face attitude during the game, that they did believe they could win... perhaps more than most of the fans! Frustrating is that we didn't show that desire and positivity against Motherwell last week (the only other match I've seen live this season) or in other matches too. That IS something that needs sorting.

As far as the transfer dealings, I think he needs help here - either Stewarty Milne needs to loosen the purse strings a little or our scouting or due diligence needs a lot of work, as well as him picking better deals and trying to keep good players longer.
Like you, I'm nae happy with being runner-up, and want to win trophies, and being of an age when I've seen us at both ends of the scale in terms of performance and outcomes, this is better than average over a 48 year supporting career.

Yes, DM is not the Messiah, but he's far more than just a very naughty boy.
