Sonam Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Any time Aberdeen are off form, it seems all they need to do is wait till they play County. In the end, I didn't make the match. Nor watched County TV. Were County any good at any point? Did any County player play well? Or were Aberdeen just too good? Don't understand how County can match Hearts, yet get gubbed by the Dons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Stagsby Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 A "there for the taking" Aberdeen must absolutely love seeing County approaching on the fixture list. Wins don't come much easier than that. Howfin'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Amazing when you play 4 at the back and only 1-up top. Should be our go to formation. Aberdeen should have won by more goals today, that 2nd half was pleasing and good to see Shinnie back to best but we wasn't short in midfield as normal.

DrewDon Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I didn't see the game, but that is a very good result and I'm pleased that we seemed to play well. Also pleased to read that certain players improved with a better structure around them, rather than just being written off as 'done' or 'finished' when being asked to perform a near-impossible role in a deeply flawed set-up.

Murray tried, Laidlaw (third goal aside) was okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Jakey Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The fact we’ve lost three starters to injuries (Nightingale, Allerdice and Randall) and suddenly we are fucking honking shows how fragile a squad we actually have. Loturi is mince, White is static AF, Sheaf is pish. Turner must be wondering what he has to do to get a start. Pass marks for James Brown at a push. Time to cut away some dead wood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can drive forward with a ball and beat a man before passing a simple ten yard ball out of play. Edited January 2 by Comrie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, today was the biggest vindication of us slagging him off for persisting with a 3-5-2 when it clearly wasn’t working. Only took him 5 months. Let’s hope it’s the norm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-RCFC Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 That was just a bunch of players that don’t look good enough for this level. For the past few seasons, I have been a massive Jordan White fan. However, my patience ran dry today. Absolutely bullied, couldn’t link the play and was towing a caravan when running. I wouldn’t be gutted if Baldwin left the club tomorrow - he cannot be trusted anymore. The game was long gone, but the third goal was embarrassing between himself and Leak; allowing the ball to bounce in the middle of the park. Max Sheaf was like Bambi on ice, slow and messy on the ball and the game generally passed him by. Loturi was his usual safe, safe, safe-self. Even Brown and Dhanda were off it. Just a rough day at the office though Delboy will probably be quite chuffed as it gives him a reason (as if he needed another) to urge Roy to open the wallet yet again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 How the f*ck is that not a penalty at the end. Baldwin might, just might, start the foul outside the box but the main challenge that takes Sokler out is at the very least on the line, which is a penalty. Absolute pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a ridiculous decision by the VAR. That tit Nick Walsh. And Jack Baldwin never fails to surprise me. Every time I see him play, he manages to look worse every time Maybe Aberdeen should seek an explanation from the SFA, like the vermin did?

It was a penalty, it had the potential to give McGrath his hat trick and to help our goal difference. I can understand PTJ's point of view because he's pissed off with his team's performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Barry showed he can change. Now he needs to show he can learn. I'm not hopeful but it's a step in the right direction. With respect though, County were absolutely shite and would have lost to any of the bottom six playing like that. We can't take a lot from the result but the second half performance was good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
