I was, and am, willing to give the Glass experiment the benefit of the doubt. But this really isn't going well. 0 wins and 2 draws in 7. The second half against Hearts aside, we rarely looked capable of scoring in any of those games. That October fixture list is the stuff of nightmares in this form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenorthernlight Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Stephen Glass never had the credentials to be manager of Aberdeen. He’s just proving it. End the experiment. Now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Problem is even if hypothetically glass has brilliant ideas, we’re now 7 without a win and the longer that goes the wheels can well and truly fall off and it doesn’t really matter at that point how technically savvy you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not so sure. By the end of October we’ll be about 9th. Dont look like scoring, we have no pace, no creativity & we don’t keep clean sheets.

Jacksgranda Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Season well and truly over and we're only halfway through September. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Still think Glass should be given time and I desperately want him to succeed, but October's run of fixtures are giving me the fear now. Bates and Brown were quite good, but struggling for any positives beyond that. I thought Ramirez was absolutely hopeless, especially first half. Pretty much pinning all my hopes on Hedges and Watkins being able to rediscover their form from the beginning of last season now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I'm starting suspect that a manager who had never actually managed a club, ever, before becoming Aberdeen boss may be finding the job too big for him. None of us could have seen this coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it will take us being in real trouble for him to pull the trigger. October might change that complexion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cormack....the man who believes he's footballing genius in appointing a mate who had never managed a club before.....has his personal credibility tied up in Glass. He's going to back him up to the point that we're 5 minutes away from relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care what cormack says about process. He’s not going to pull the trigger lightly. Not that I’m even suggesting he should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Got to give Glass time to get it right, the squad needed major surgery in the summer and we need these players time to settle. It is a concern especially with the tough fixtures coming up. Can see the fans turning very quickly on the manager as under last management at worst we was 4th but today performance doesn't give us much hope of the top 6 never mind 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cormack actually had a straight face on that YouTube Q&A when he said there were eight candidates interviewed.Glass was a fine player and is a likeable enough guy - I really want him to succeed, but this tanker needs to turn very quickly and the league fixtures are only becoming harder over the coming weeks.Hedges and Watkins being in the team and Gallagher not being in it may be his best hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedges and Watkins being in the team and Gallagher not being in it may be his best hope. Glass c*nted it big time by putting no importance on the Raith Rovers game. A half-arsed team couldn't cope with the Rovers attacking twice, then Glass was forced to send on the 'A-team', ending up in Hedges getting yet another serious injury. On top of that, we exited the League cup....one of only 2 competitions we can realistically win...to a lower league side for the first time in a long time, and set in motion a run of dog turd performances that we have no indication of getting away from. It was a cracking day in Kirkcaldy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it for me (and many others) to remind you that we said be careful what you wish for. Derek McInnes time had come and gone despite never finishing outside European places iirc. Many on here myself included said you may end up appointing a worse Manager and end up back in the bottom 6. Early day as and with the squad you have that should never happen but…….so far so true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McInnes did a great job for Aberdeen but the football in the last 2 seasons was dreadful and it was time for a change. The appointment of Glass was met with dismay from a lot of Aberdeen fans and although it is early days of the new season it is a major concern how things are going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
