I like the way Cormack is going about things. Looking in to some feasible options whilst also willing to compromise with Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC_1903 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 16 hours ago, Bob Mahelp said: The players have looked terrified for a while to take any responsibility (McGinn aside). There's lots of passing on our side of the half way line between the midfield and the defence, and by the time someone decides that we should think about attacking the opposition have moved 10 players back behind the ball. At that point we either lose possession in midfield, or are forced into a lump forward to an utterly isolated Cosgrove. There's no speed of movement, no forward intent, no invention, no drive from the midfield. All there is is a fear, hence all the sideways passing. I don’t think the players are totally blameless however they don’t look like they know what they are supposed to be doing. We’re set up to be flat track bullies who try to grind out results which sells the squad of players we have way short as they have far more quality in them than having to resort to that. There’s only one person that’s coming from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that, specifically because it came quite quickly on the heels of our game against Dundee where we had more away fans at Dens than there were home fans and one of the "factors" explicitly cited for for their erm..poor turnout was the K.O time. Absolutely fair fucks to Cormack for looking to start a conversation and engage with your fanbase though. He seems to have done more on that front in the past couple of months than Milne had in years. Fwiw, Burrows seems like he was taking note too as he was asking our fans what their thoughts were on the idea the other day.

I guess one of the factors with your game is that it was on the tv. This one wouldn't be so that would help too, I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally, there wer plenty of factors with that Cup game - home team form, their record against us (that's 10 games on the bounce we're unbeaten against them 9 wins, 1 draw), they bumped the ticket price up to £20/£15 from £15/£10 in the week leading up to the game etc - on top of it being on council telly and a 19:20 kick off. I think if it's the right sort of fixture then a Saturday evening K.O could easily work...under the lights and that. The key thing for me is that he's actually asking fans and trying stuff out. Some things may not necessarily work but the more engagement you have the better a feel for what connects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club other than maybe the absolute elite have to balance results vs brand of football. If you have a manager who almost guarantees a top 4 finish and progress in cups every year then it's a huge decision to get rid of them. That is not limited to Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is too far to go to be assuming that we'll get a top 4 finish. I still think we'll find something that works and get third, but if we don't find it soon we could easily drop out of the top 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a manager who has historically not finished lower than 4th over a relatively long period. The idea that Scottish football is shite because we might not sack Mcinnes if he delivers results over style was what I was challenging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree with that, but Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results. . If things don't improve on current form, results wise, he won't have much left in the plus column.

Dwindling attendances is not cormacks plan . And with dna renewals and season tickets few months away iit is obvious what we’re seeing just now is not going to be acceptable . 3 rd might save him. .

The Dons team that went out of Europe at the same stage as this one or the last one that went any further in Europe (with Darren Mackie up front)? Not saying Scottish football is great, but we punch about our weight in Europe. Were there many other 3rd place teams from comparable leagues in the playoffs? Anyway, my point was that I don't believe McInnes is safe because of how he has done before and I'm not convinced that over the season we will be 3rd or 4th. And you can stick your shitty Wayne's world Sarcastic banter right up your hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't trying to make any case for or against him. Aberdeen Cowden suggested if we keep him off the back of a 3rd place finish and cup run but with shite football then it was an indictment of Scottish football. I was merely saying any club would find it difficult to sack a manger that is ultimately achieving their football objectives. FWIW, if Mcinnes was to leave tomorrow in a mutual agreement, he'd go with my best wishes and gratitude for how far we've come in his time. I wouldn't mourn it too long and would have a bit of excitement at fresh ideas. I probably defend him more than I should because I think the abuse he gets is outrageous, even if ultimately it is the right time for a change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
