Aberdeen 1 (dodgy penalty) St Johnstone 1


Recommended Posts

No idea why folk are criticising Davidson tbh.

We were ahead, Aberdeen were creating nothing and we were quite happily letting them pass their way up the park, do f**k all with it, and the counter on them.

That ends 1-0 to us and everyone is delighted if the ref does his job.

As did the late challenge on Ferguson in injury time. 

Would be irrelevant if Ferguson has a brain.

Guy spends the majority of his time on the pitch trying to win fouls. A free header from 3 yards and his main focus is demanding a penalty when he balloons it wide.

Nope, not having this. At all. 

You don’t want to admit it, but over the 90 minutes we were. Presumably Gallagher was taken off because he was poor, and Brown and Ferguson comfortable replacements in the second half. The only time I remember St Johnstone causing us any problems in the second half was Bates excellent challenge. We were pouring forward in that half, and easily the better team.

You do realise you were "pouring forward" because we had zero fear of you actually creating anything and just wanted space left for counters, dont you?

Like you didn't have us pinned back due to the incredible ability in your squad. The fact we couldn't take advantage was pretty much entirely because Middleton was fucked about an hour and after May came on we were effectively playing without a strikeforce, seeing as the manager is still scared of strikers who don't defend at all costs.

If that was Aberdeen playing well then you'll remain rooted in the bottom half.

I'd be hugely concerned if your team wasnt better than an injury ravaged ghost oufit in blue tonight.

We had Lewis Ferguson at centre half.

We are a shower of spineless shit just now. All this bleating about refs shouldn’t take away from the fact this is a sham of a saints team. Utter cowards 

Good at time wasting & killing a game though.

Davidson will point to another very soft decision again in a second half that we didn't look like conceding in but I don't think you can just surrender as an attacking force the way we did once Hendry went off. It's not a ringing endorsement of the two new strikers on the bench he brought on May and left a clearly fucked Middleton - who put in a real shift but barely touched the ball the last half hour - on till the end. The lack of midfield legs is a real worry with Craig at 50 still looking more energetic than Crawford and Butterfield. We've signed 18 players this season and they're all either dreadful, injured or complete distrusted by Davidson. I genuinely can't believe we're still at a point where May and Craig are our changes after that many signings. And why is Crawford left the highest player most of that second half with Middleton doing his defensive work?

Pluses are the back three played well especially once they sorted out Ramirez peeling off Gordon and we were a threat during the first half.

Clark and Hendry being out long term would feel like the death knell on this season.
