BucksburnDandy Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Top six watch….(well we need to make sure we’re in it at the split to have a chance to qualify for Europe, where 5th could be enough).This has actually been a relatively productive weekend in that respect, given we never really expected anything from our game.Hibs and Motherwell failed to win at home to the bottom two. United were leading a Hearts side who had five players carried off and still didn’t win.Livingston didn’t do their usual job on Celtic.Only Ross County made a significant leap, and that was at the expense of St Mirren.Bottom line is we win the next three, we make the top six. Two winnable home matches and a visit to Dens to play a McGhee team - still doable?I like your positivity Tarapoa, I really do.If this team weren't absolutely spineless generally, I would say doable. But sadly this team will draw 0-0 with Hibs, not win at Dundee and another draw with County.Really glad we've not got long left of this season, it's been shite barring Scotland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Aberdeen captain Scott Brown ‘considering his future’ at Pittodrie I don't have access to the P&J website to read the full article though. Edit: This is the Sun version of the story - https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/8530933/scott-brown-considering-aberdeen-future/ Not too much actual meat to the story but I wouldn't be surprised to see Brown leave over the next few days.

coprolite Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Wouldn't be a huge miss imo. He's had a handful of influential games but has been mainly slow and anonymous. Obviously not party to behind the scenes shenanigans but can't see any evidence of his "winning mentality" or leadership qualities. Plenty evidence that he's a WUM and hot headed though. If he is on a big wedge he's not justified it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully can keep the season going in a few weeks time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of throw-ins Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Despite loathing Brown when he played for Celtic I've quite enjoyed seeing him in an Aberdeen jersey, but the logic for him being at Pittodrie disappeared with Glass. The coaching gig obviously now exists in name only and he doesn't have enough left in the tank to justify a good wage as a player. I'm not getting much sense of the drive to win we hoped we'd get from him: he can get up for it for about 1 game in 3 or 4 but other times he looks every bit the veteran going through the motions in the twilight of his career. I really hoped St Mirren would appoint him as manager, because that would have solved a problem for us. A parting of the ways would be best for both parties.

From what I've heard it's been a pretty unhappy dressing room for quite some time and a number of the players would be happy to see the back of Brown 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more than happy to have Scott Brown in our team for the first 5 months or so, and loved seeing him strutting about the pitch in a Dons strip. But he has definitely become less and less an influence on the team since we have gone on our fairly abysmal run since the new year. Unless he turns things around with his form on the pitch it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if he left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely this In the first couple of months he looked great and I thought it was an unbelievable coup for us He’s been really poor for a while now and it’s best for all that it’s a semi-amicable parting of ways now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
