I thought it was a winner. Just goes to show how poor an understanding of herd mentality I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Some of the chat on Twitter from our fans is embarrassing.If you don’t throw around illogical arguments against McInnes you’re a happy clapper. No critical thinking whatsoever.That said, it does feel like the gaffer is at a bit of a crossroads in terms of how we approach some of the bigger games this season. My best guess is that he doesn’t have the same belief in this squad as he did last season’s - hence overthinking it at times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Plenty to pick apart and complain about over results and performances over the last few weeks but alarming how quickly some fans go in to full on shit the bed mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is that he doesn’t have the same belief in this squad as he did last season’s - hence overthinking it at times. Yeah. Don't get me wrong I'm not thrilled about our struggles in the 'big games' and I think McInnes should shoulder some of the blame, but equally games outside of the top 3 we have a fantastic record. Hibs are a good side and we've beaten them twice this season already. Despite the poor record against the Glasgow teams Aberdeen are equal second and only 9 points off Celtic, having finished second 4 years running. Offered that under Brown or McGhee, Calderwood, Patterson or Skovdahl (the only Dons managers I can properly remember whilst supporting the club) I would have bitten your hand off. Against lesser opposition it feels very rare that we lose a game. McInnes has given me the best period of supporting the Dons since I started being old enough to support them properly. He has a lot of credit in the bank for me. Mathematically secured a top six place this season again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely have more than our fair share of absolute beauts. _____ Fine win for the U20s though, 4-1 away to Celtic.

Dons_1988 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I was fuming on Saturday. But calling for mcinnes to be sacked is for wee bairns who need the ‘soap opera’ element of football to get their kicks.Derek is still doing a grand job.He will know better than any of us the big game record is a disgrace. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tungston weasel Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Considering with hindsight. This was always going to be a transitional season and to expect large improvements when there was not much space for improving while losing much of our core team and rivals improving, we are doing as well as we could have reasonably expected at the start of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much spot on. We're equal second in the league with a Rangers team that have invested much more heavily in players than we have, and we're still in the cup with a fair shot at another semi-final. The 'famine or a feast' complaints about McInnes come from the fact that rarely do we lose a game unluckily, or are edged out 2-1 or something....or even draw games. Nope. We either win, or we lose spectacularly in some kind of complete shambles where the whole team loses the plot. That makes the defeats all the more noticeable and leads to knee-jerk criticism of McInnes. The question we should be asking is, over the course of a season are we on an upward curve or are we getting progressively worse ? Given the number of changes we've had to make in the last 6 months, I still believe we're improving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good points haul so far, although I think it’d be a little bit more palatable if we’d taken points in some of the bigger games even it meant we dropped some in some of the others. We probably wouldn’t have the bottlers tag then, and as a football fan it’s never fun being ripped for your team constantly shitting it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
