Aye. £1.99 a month, good value as like him or loathe him, he does 2 or 3 podcasts a week with good interviewees. Cormack says the ambition is to win the league. Deluded - maybe but better than 3rd place as that nonce Milne would have said. Wages budget higher this season than last. Albeit, I assume, that will get trimmed if and when McGeough, Ferguson and Kennedy leave. Scott Brown only renting that hoose in Garlogie, not purchased Link to comment

Will we win the league? Most likely not but we should install in the players from the U'8's to the first team we enter every competition to win it. Create a winning mentality so we at least try and win at difficult grounds instead of hoping for a draw 1 Link to comment

At some point if the roster doesn't improve from here it's more of a delusion. That being said I was down with the 5 goal route and it apears improvements have been made. 1 Link to comment

I genuinely think that if someone with a more positive approach to football had been in charge of Aberdeen in the cup finals McInnes got us to, we'd have actually competed rather than just turned up to "enjoy the occasion". To illustrate how bad we've been in cup finals, we've scored ONE goal since 1995 from either cup competition. Even the year we won the League Cup we failed to hit the net in 120 minutes against Link to comment

Create a winning mentality so we at least try and win at difficult grounds instead of hoping for a draw Sorry to disagree here, but we should not be instilling this attitude so young. This is what we are doing and the Aberdeen youth teams are extremely successful as a result winning competitions throughout Europe. The problem however is that "win at all costs" attitude is a detriment to player development and why we see teams throughout Europe develop better as the teams get older. Unfortunately many grassroots teams focus on physicality first and foremost with the aim to then develop the skillset. Grassroots is supposed to be a development phase and not competitive until they are 12 and that is probably the correct age to start working on formations and tactics in order to win games. Kids are naturally competitive and shouldn't need coaches to instill a win at all costs attitude . Instead they should be coaching encouraging showing bravery to attempt the difficult pass / skill and when failing to complete, encourage the desire to try again. 1 Link to comment
