I have been a staunch Mcinnes supporter and have always had his corner over the years, with only a few exceptions. This isn’t a knee jerk reaction to a poor performance, but a reaction to continual poor performances. I asked on Facebook last night why it took DM 75 minutes to make a sub? The answer I got back was “…This isn’t DM’s fault… Who would you have put on that would change the game"?
A great question and it fits my point exactly… who the hell would you put on, but then again who the hell’s responsibility is it to ensure there are feckin’ decent players on the bench in the first place? We have just come out of a bloody transfer window and yet people are trying to defend DM because he doesn’t have any decent players on the bench
The blame for last night, St Mirren, Stenny etc all lies at the feet of DM. He seems to lack all ability to motivate players for mediocre games.
We looked absolutely lost night and made Hamilton look like Celtic with our constant punt balls to Cosgrove. How many minutes does DM need to realise that tactic wasn’t working? Christ, we were punting 50 yard lumps up the park to Sam and there wasn’t another Aberdeen player within 20 yards of him. He was marked by 2-3 defenders the whole game. We kept resorting to punting the ball out wide in the hope of a decent cross. Well we must have had 20-30 crosses last night with about 5 being decent.
Its just not good enough and as I have said, its not a knee jerk reaction to last night. It is very apparent that when plan A doesn’t work, we have nothing else to offer.
Im going to put my neck out for the first time in 5 years and say we need a change at the helm. I would be sad to see him go, but we are boring as ****e to watch and he has run out of ideas.
