    I managed to listen to the Jagzone interview of Archie now the dust has settled on the game Saturday. In my eyes our loss to a mediocre and clearly inferior team was down to the manager. In the second half almost everyone I spoke to who was at the game or watched it on Jagzone as I did saw that our returning injured players needed replaced an hour in but Archie in his post match interview blamed the team for not “seeing the game out.” I agree the team did a poor job last 20 mins, but the manager should have recognized that Woods and Booth were shot, the legs had gone, and we had an incredibly strong bench to deal with replacing them. Penrice for Booth, Barton for Woods and to continue to stretch the play, as Storey was effective we had both Lawless or Spittal. Instead Archie decides to take off Storey and Erskine our two most creative players. Play Blair in a less offense role and takes off Storey who wad the full back in his pocket.

    The only player Dundee had that was a threat was Murray. Everyone could see it. It was glaring. Nullify him by bringing on Penrice to mark him out game and we’d have had 3 points. Murray minute by minute was getting more joy. Archie mentioned this but really did nothing to address it. Instead said defense should have dealt with it better.

    Woods looked like he was injured. He wobbled along in the second half, after a good first, but clearly needed protecting. I don’t think it was McCanns great subs that won Dundee that game. It was Archie not recognizing what was happening on the field. He should own up to the players to take the heat off them as I thought for most of game especially first half they played Dundee off the park. We should have been 3-0 up. That I do agree with Archie on. Our inability to score goals to punish teams is a massive weakness. We’ve done it against Saints this season and that’s it really.

    So my question is, with the best squad of players I’ve seen in my 35 years of life as a Jags fan, is Archie able to succeed and take us on? Yes we managed top 6 last year but his record when you drill down isn’t that impressive. We are almost always guaranteed to lose to top 6 clubs especially OF. Stinking record! We have one of the worst cup records in the country. He’s under achieving with the squad of players he has in my eyes. I think the man deserved all the time he’s had but my support of him is beginning to subdue. With the players we have I believe, for example, if a coach like Steve Clarke was in charge we’d be in top 6 presently. Injuries have a played a role but we’ve got a worse record with players back than we did picking up points pre-break.

    I think he missed an opportunity in the interview to own up to his failures tactically at weekend and he didn’t take it. That would have helped take stress of lose off players. Due to that I’m not sure we’ll win against Accies Saturday. I think we’re in serious trouble. I pray I’m wrong and we can learn and bounce back. How did he think that game Saturday would suit Doolz in the last 10-15mins? He didn’t touch the ball!
    I’m still annoyed as we are so much better than that mob. It was night and day in terms of abilities.

    Good post. There is no doubt that we have the strongest squad in decades. On paper I would say we are stronger than Dundee,Accies, Ross County and St.Johnstone, but on the park we aren't showing it. Injuries aside we have had a bad season and I think Archie is struggling. He comes accross as tactically naive. Even if we survive I think we need a change.

    But he's right though. Build ourselves up and then hilariously fall flat on our face. Our history is littered with it. Accept it. We are a pathetic wee country.

    Who decides how much 'autonomy' Scotland has and in what areas?  Take your time champ.

     

    By all definitions Scotland is a colony whether you want to live in denial or not.

    Colony sounds about right. Surely you can accept that is exactly what Scotland deserves. We are just the poor cousins of the rest of the UK.

    With everything think that’s been happening another GE is surely a real possibility.
    As a non-Labour voter I have been cautiously supportive of Corbyn but am beginning to question his ability to lead.  I cannot see Labour getting a majority and question whether Corbyn will be able to strike any sort of working arrangement with the SNP. 

    Another hung parliament with Labour as the largest party. Govern as a minority government and don't touch the SNP with a bargepole.

    The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23

    They will have done you if the fans react badly if he somehow does end up staying. Aberdeen fans need to stick by him. Remember what he’s done for the club.

    He has certainly improved you, but has flattered to deceive. Getting a tag of chokers. Over the Rangers issue has flirted with them by first fluttering his eye lashes at them by staying silent on it until his chairman said something on it which in turn forced McInnes to say something almost definite, but not quite. With the two defeats against Rangers he has completely dropped his knickers to them by his tactical ineptitude. If he is approached and goes it will be messy. If he stays it may be poisonous. He may as well go. Hopefully he crashes and burns.
