    I honestly don't think it's a lack of a reaction or even effort. The players and especially the goalkeeper are just not good enough.
    Yeah, that's a great summary for me. The third goal we just got caught in the break, was always likely to happen given the circumstances.

    I thought it interesting JG made a point of talking with Newman at the end of the game. In my view he played pretty well and wasn't fault for any of the goals. Bet he was wishing he put him in earlier in his tenure now. 🤔

    I don’t absolve JG of any responsibility. I’m disappointed he couldn’t get more out of the players.

    However the problem lies within the set of players.

    3 managers now have tried to get a tune out of them and they are completely gutless

    JG not perfect but he is the best that is available

    Let him mould a hungry team in his image and let’s see where it takes us next season

    Not to mention his call for us to stay down and hearts to remain in the premiership.

    im split on it, i wasnt bothered when he left because Shankland did pretty much get us promoted single handidly. Playing 2 defensive mids at home against teams at the bottom of the championship was unbearable at times BUT you cant take away from the fact he has went in to basket cases, turned them round and got them promoted and thats what we need

    If we get either Goodwin or Neilson im okay with it

    This. No to Neilson.

    I can't see Ogren funding our escape.

    Aberdeen fan. Genuinely saddened to see Utd go down. Tannadice away is always a good visit not to mention the Dundee derby games which are always a great watch.

    Was astonished that Goodwin was brought in to your club.To me there’s just something about the bloke where the players won’t play for him after a few months of his ‘man management’. I’m also of the belief he would have got Aberdeen relegated had we not sacked him( a few weeks too late when it did eventually happen).
    Hope you lads bounce back soon👍

    Jury still out on Goodwin. He did well at Alloa and St Mirren and at your club up until The World Cup break (he had you 3rd going in to the break). It was after that things took a tumble. For what its worth I've said before Barry Robson had the right ingredients for going in to management and as a former player thought United should have gone for him last year when we knew he was learning the coaching side of the game at Aberdeen. Not surprised how he is doing at Aberdeen.
