The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23

[Raidernation]

I’ll admit I was concerned, but I’m going to give Glass a chance.

[RussellAnderson]

I’m fully on board with “Glassy” as I’ve decided to call him

Lads, it’s Stephen Class. 

[Steve_Wilkos]

Gents, it's Stephen "Haulin' Ass" Glass.

[Dons_1988]

That had been coming.

Stephen Class amirite lads.

Stephen classless. Get him out. 

On a more serious note, I’m going to stick my neck out and say jack gurr is absolute fucking mince.

Why rotate for a cup game this early in the season? 
 

Jack Gurr with some rotten defending has ultimately cost us the tie, as has our lack of ability to bring intensity to the tie. 
 

Raith deserved it. Can't have any complaints. A disgrace. 

Rotating was absolutely the right thing to do. If we get to the Europa Conference groups then nobody is going to give a f**k about the league cup this season.

What is has shown is that several of the squad players are not good enough.

Speak for yourself. The cups are our bread and butter, Europe is a bonus, for me. 
 

We need bodies in, as we've said for weeks, centre half and up front, as soon as possible. 

Speak for yourself. The European money would be a a game changer for the club.

Funnily enough we need money to get the bodies in. How do you propose we do that?

Gurr is a tough one. Thought he done ok in the first half was was woeful at the second goal. 

If we get a much better right back then he's going to want to play more games. Ramsay needs to play as often as possible without burning him out.

His CV doesn't look great.

He’s a willing runner but his crossing is dreadful and his defending today is pretty unforgivable to be honest. I’d happily never see him play again.

If it's a choice between beating Qarabag over the two legs and beating Raith today, I'm taking the former every day of the week, but still would have been nice to win today - and, really, the team starting the match should have been capable of doing that. 

Some of the fringe players gave Glass good reason not to trust them today. Gurr was a weird signing and unfortunately looked every inch the "Georgia Gwinnett Grizzlies" defender today.

Exactly this.

[Game of throw-ins]

A gamble that misfired badly.  A confidence sapping defeat against Raith will do far more damage to our chances against Qarabag than an extra game for a few of our better players.

Scottish teams, even down to the level of Raith, have perfected the art of making it hard for the opposition to score and hoping for scraps at the other end.  We've got away with being leaky at the back in Europe by outscoring teams that aren't as single-mindedly set up to prevent the opposition playing.  We won't get away with it in Scotland.  For all his good start this season Glass won't last long if he can't sort out the defence.

I know we all like to overexaggerate after a defeat but that's a bit much.

Aye I think the way we play lends itself to losing whenever the quality and intensity of our attacking play isn’t there. The art of ‘if you can’t win don’t lose’ is important over the course of a season.
