Unlike our toothless directionless accumulation of dross Their defence is & always has been, utter shite. They're better going forward than us (who isn’t?) but I’d question how consistent they’ll be over 38 games. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Do we need a Let’s all laugh at Hibs thread or is that taken for granted? Like breathing. Link to comment
Yorston Vasey Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Nine points behind Hibs, the fucking shame of it. McInnes must go. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 They'll probably Hibs it by October. But they could be 12 or 15 points ahead of us by the time we play next so we'll be playing catch up with them for months. Link to comment
dj_bollocks Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I wonder if Jack Ross is good enough for us now ? ? Link to comment

Aye, they’ve started well, but I’ll hang fire before jumping on the Hibs bandwagon though. I’d have been reasonably confident we’d have finished above them (don’t we always?!) in a normal season. Now that we’re playing catch up & will be rusty as fuck when we do restart, then will be cramming games in later on, I’m not so sure now. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I see they have brought through an 18 year old left back who looks promising. Why are other clubs able to develop their own left backs and we seem unable? Link to comment

Poodler Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 McInnes is sabotaging the dons so that his beloved rangers have a better chance of stopping 10 in a row plain to see. He's a disgusting specimen Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Scott Wright is 23 now. He's going to have to get a shift on or his career is going to pass him by. Link to comment
redstrummer Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Absolute disaster of a start to the season for us . We are going to have to put together a good run of wins when if we do get started . The soul 8 have got a lot to answer for Link to comment

Mcinnes has given plenty of opportunities to youth last season The 2 rosses, wright, mclennan, Anderson None of them really grabbed the chance I am still convinced Wright is a player but there is just something that needs fixed You dont score the hat trick he did against thistle unless you have something A civilised & non sarcastic reply. You make a good point, I’m sure I read other than Accies we fielded more home grown players last season than any other, & as you say, how many have nailed a place down? I’m just fed up of us having to go back to Considine. We got a glimpse of what it would be like having a good left back with Lowe, & to a lesser extent, Leigh. I’d like the lad MacKenzie to get a chance and if he’s not up to it then fine. 1 Link to comment
slippers Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Assume top 6 get Europe next season if 1 of the top 4 teams win the cups? Champions: UCL 3QR Runners-up: UCL 2QR Cup winners: UEL 3QR 3rd, 4th: UEFA Europa Conference League 2QR Link to comment

Chance of being in Europe for a little longer but in all honesty we are normally knocked out by teams that would be in conference format anyway... Link to comment

I remember it used to be cup runners up but they stopped that and rightly so. Isn’t a euro spot for league cup so my understanding is that potentially top 5 could be Europe all be it 4th and 5th would be conference and 5th would depend on 1 of the top 4 that have already qualified winning the Scottish cup. At end of day gate receipts and potentially a lot more games could add a decent amount to bank even if it is in conference format! Link to comment

DABs also took on a 17 Year old centre half last night who did ok I thought he looked like a huge talent. Raw and a bit greedy but all the raw materials are there. Hibs, Hearts and Kilmarnock(now at Celtic) all brought through young left backs in recent years. Link to comment

Although after the Sevco performance I should maybe hold judgement, but the point being if we had them 3 fixtures our support would expect 9 points and with our squad we should be beating these teams consistently but the Mcinnes factor would come into this Link to comment
