DM did quite well until 2017 cup final then deteriorated steadily thereafter. Truth is for a one city club we have basically underperformed since 1990. DM did give us hope for 3 or 4 years from 2014 but we have to remember that during the majority of that period the Tims were the only team to beat and coming 2nd would have been the minimum expectation at the time. Finally big Andy was a fine servant to Dons but wasn't a true left back and would often get found wanting in big games I.e. first half against Copenhagen in Europa, semi final against QOS and 2017 Scottish Cup Final against Tims. Back to my main point why does DM not believe in playing a recognised left back? Ultimately the better teams will exploit weakness. 1 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Last sentence is key. He doesn’t (appear to) see the need to have a specialist player in key positions to win those big games. Rather have a stand in and win most/some of them. That’s surely enough isn’t it? Link to comment

Enough to win 40% to 50% of his games as a manager, and enjoy moderate success in the grand scheme of things. He is perhaps being a pragmatic realist but....., unfortunately, fans do want success in winning a trophy every now and again. For that to happen you do really need to minimise the team's weaknesses and maximise the team's strengths. DM was fine at the latter but not so good at the former. It still annoys me that we should have challenged Tims far more when Deila was manager. An opportunity missed, which is unlikely to come along again anytime soon. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I think many people believed the lies they were told about Brexit by Bojo and Goblinteeth Farage, realised they were lied to in retrospect, but are too embarrassed to admit they were taken in, hence them subsequently excusing, or denying, the impact on many businesses who relied on EU trade deals to survive. ??

I can't believe folk still bang on about Brexit when for the last 2 and a half years, the entire World has been complicit in falling for the lies about this so called pandemic. Absolute small beer in comparison, not to mention the huge, nay, mahoosive effect on football clubs that the lockdowns had. Brexit's impact means what, you have to wait an extra couple of weeks to get a permit for a player? Boo hoo. Link to comment

I'm a big supporter of our response but this virus is NOT a bad virus it is not a critical life threatening event for mankind So was the problem was how many people got severely ill no again most recovered The problem was that if you started with 10 people entering hospital on day one and each day that by the time the first person left hospital the population in hospital was over 100 and there was a breakdown of primary care see Italy Feb 2020 2 1 Link to comment

And if you think the entire world went into lockdowns damaging their economies for years to come with no good reason, you're a real nutcase.
