I can see why Aberdeen fans are annoyed, he’s clearly a capable player and a good striker, yet he had zero chances last night against us and let’s face it we’re pretty crap. I get he’s not got the best away record, but the team should be set up to supply him and whatever Robson picked last night had no width or pace to it. It was like watching saints and frankly with the players available you should be miles ahead of us, but you’re simply not. That’s on the manager from an outsiders perspective. He did have a chance. 2nd half header from an excellent Clarkson cross. He put it over the bar when a glance off the napper would have got him a goal. Clarkson later produced a sublime reverse cross from the opposite side only for Sokler to fluff the header. We have to find a way to use Clarksons abilities more effectively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We experienced a challenging period, losing five consecutive matches and going 15 games without a victory over a span of 17 years. And that period of success for Dundee at Pittodrie spanned the time when I was rejecting footballl in general (in my 20s and going out too much) and Aberdeen in particular which covered the tail end of the Aitken era, Alex Miller, Hegarty and the first season and half of Skovdhal where I barely went to a match. I saw one match in 1998 (Motherwell at home) and one match in 1999 (St Pauli away). I've seen Dundee 21 times at Pittodrie: 2 x 1984, 1 x 1985, 2 x 1986, 2 x 1987, 1 x 1988, 1 x 1990, 1 x 1992, 2 x 1993, 1 x 2003, 2 x 2004, 1 x 2005, 1 x 2012, 1 x 2015, 2 x 2018 and 1 x 2022 and that's 13 home wins, 5 no score draws and 3 score draws However, in 2004, I saw Dundee beat Aberdeen at Dens Park, the only time I've witnessed Dundee beat Aberdeen anywhere (Pittodrie, Dens or Hampden). I did see Dundee win away from home at Montrose in 1991 though. Edited January 25 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you've got a good record in games v Dundee because you papped going to watch your team because they were shite, and went back once they improved? Sound. ETA: That is absolutely your right, but it gives a bit of context to the "I've been going to Pittodrie for 300 years and have never seen Dundee win".

DrewDon Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 8 hours ago, HunterAFC said: Honestly I think we just have to suffer through the season and punt Robson at the end, having managers come in part way through the season with the window closed doesn't feel like it helps. I think there might be a good manager in there but he seems wedded to reverting to a back 5 because it worked so well when he came in. I think we're really missing McRorie and his energy/ability to break lines which is required if you're going to attack from deep with wing backs. McCrorie has definitely been a bigger miss than I think some, perhaps including myself, were anticipating. Whether we are in a back four or a back five, we are currently very dependent on Devlin and Mackenzie to provide our width going forward. You can tell that side of the game isn't the most natural to them, especially Mackenzie. Devlin makes a decent fist of it, and has chipped in with a few goals along the way, but even with him the final ball can be a bit of a lottery. It also just makes us quite predictable and one-dimensional to play against, manifesting itself in an over-reliance on crosses from some relatively deep positions. I think there is a route to making the 4-5-1 work, but it likely needs more genuine width on at least one side against the majority of teams we play domestically - and the creative burden from wide areas to be shared out. I wouldn't mind seeing Duk, or even Duncan, ahead of Mackenzie. It would simplify the game for Mackenzie as more of an old-fashioned full-back, and also give a bit of space to whoever is playing in front of him, as I don't think Duk especially is the sort of player who would necessarily need nor want a full-back constantly occupying the spaces ahead of him (a bit like peak Hayes with Considine, I suppose). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
