Yes, yesterday is meaningless with regards a league cup game at Ayr
Need to play four at the back and match their intensity as role reversal, we haven't been convincing against lower league sides for the most part
With regards league, yesterday changes everything, proves even with what we have got, those predicting relegation for DUFC are going to be off the mark
The stick Courts got last week for the team chosen was over the top…..like most fans, last season was really difficult to watch for me but our one performance of the season last year that was extremely gratifying was Aberdeen away.
Although I don’t like the formation or a lot of the players picked at pittodrie last week I could accept why it was picked - it worked brilliantly in the cup. If courts had picked all the youngsters and got pumped then a lot of folk would have criticised him saying he should have went with what worked in last seasons game.
The praise the team will get this weekend will likely be equally over the top. What a terrific performance and attitude, but most players will tell you it’s easy to get ‘up’ for these type of games. Especially ones where you don’t need to attack much or try dictate the game.
It’s somewhere in the middle…..we have a new coach, some (a lot perhaps) of players not quite up to the standard of where we’d like to be and a few talented youngsters. We need to just roll with it and hope we progress and improve.
I really like the message from courts (if not the irritating buzzwords) and the way he talks. I’m rooting for him
Some drama here
We didn't lose at Pittodrie because of those players
We lost because we played three the back and were passive and gifted the opening goal before we could regroup at half time
Yesterday shows four works better, think we all agree on that anyway, if courts goes back to three at the back and makes comments like we edged first half in games we weren't in then he will deserve criticism
As for yesterday with regards courts, fair play, thought he was measured and came across well in his comments
