Their goal looked like McCrorrie had the chance to knock if out for a corner, but played the ball back into the danger area. Hard to tell from where I was..bonkers if he did.

Ramirez, as suspected, is limited... but the guy puts in some fucking shift.  Right after his goal he was back to break up a County attack on the edge of our box, then tearing back upfield to get into position for our subsequent attack, and right after that he's fighting two defenders and the keeper to create himself another chance. 

I lost count of the number of attacks that broke down simply because we lack the ability to string passes together, and the amount of times Ojo was in that mix tells you he might... just might... be the weakest fucking link. 

I'm rooting for Glass, but scraping draws against an abysmal ross County at home isn't a terrific sign. 

I'm going to assume our players were tired.

Correct

Not even half a season ?

there’s been huge changes at the club in personnel and management and they are still finding their feet, it takes time to bed new players in and unlearn all the shit the remaining players learnt under McInnes

Yes it’s shit not to win but we have the worst fans in Scotland. We wanted change, we got change and now people are losing their minds and it’s not even September yet.

 

Absolutely  ?%

Don't think we were that bad. We had so many half chances we should of at least scored another. All in all a absolute terrible result to draw with county at home but the performance wasn't as bad as may are saying. 

I mean we were pumped 4-1 at home from county under McInnes but hey ho.

Not really. They had 6 fkn shots on goal, 5 of which Lewis had to save & the other was a Ramsay goal line clearance. Those defensive stats are disgusting. Especially from a team that only had 25% possession.

I don’t think anyone was to blame, it fell nicely for the boy to score.

[Simosmashed my knee]

Poor result , deserved something from the game however defensively we are shocking, they should have scored at least one more

I was joking min. 

Apart from at right back we looked shambolic. 

If you weren't an Aberdeen fan you'd be pissing yourself laughing watching us in that game.

Really not a good game at all. They could easily have had 3 goals.  We do not have a organized defence. at all, and also now getting very slow in getting the ball up the park. Taking 5 passes when 2 might break open the opposition defence.

I am not to sure about Glass. I felt that starting young Samuels was a bad decision,,better use is speed in the last 15 minutes against a tiring defence, McCrorie is not gonna make it as a CH. Gallagher is not the player i though he was, almost as bad as Ash Taylor. Hope Bates is better.

Ramsay is not going to be long at our club. Loon has a very bright future.

Want really that impressed with Longstaff after a promising first 10 minutes.

Just getting the feeling that Glass is out of his depth and Brown is not experienced enough to help him. THink he needed an older/experienced  coach to help him out.

Glass surely knew better than the rest of us that he was headed into the season with nowhere near enough cover in the middle of defence, and any serious injury to... for example... Andy Considine, would leave us in desperate shape at the back. 

But he chose not to address that, and now every time a team attacks us our arse falls out at the back.

& I have repeatedly said I am deli Overall but that doesn’t mean we just ignore the fkn bad points. 
You think just because McInnes is gone everything should just be joyous now?

 

Glass has zero idea about any kind of defensive cohesion or organisation clearly. Looks like all he has focused on in middle to attack with zero work done at back. If it wasn’t for the blessing of Ramsay & Mackenzie giving us a wee lift in our back line feelings for future then a fk load more people would be slaughtering Glass for that shambles back there

But it’s just the same tired and tedious negative pish you post over and over again. It’s like you have the most miserable, joyless life and are manifesting it on here.

You dont think it should be joyous because McInnes left? Do you want him back? Or do you want us to try something different that gets given more than a month or two to work?

I recall a lot of posters saying they would be prepared for a season of ups and downs but by Christ some people take a draw so badly.

I thought it was quite entertaining. Two teams of a similar standard going toe to toe. County had a couple of players that would improve the Dons considerably, the lad Harry Clark in particular. Paton covered every blade of grass too. International break coming at the right time for the Dons, whose defence is completely rubbish.

Piss poor result. I don't get the thinking between starting both Longstaff and Ferguson. Very similar players and it quite simply never fucking worked  defence still a mess. Samuels looked ok. Very quick but is he the answer? Doubtful. We've had to rely on 2 keeper howlers in the last 3 league games. 24 shots at goal apparently and 6 on target. We miss Hedges badly and we need to sign a creative player imo. Won't happen with 2 days left of the window but we are in for many more results like that over the course of the season. Ross County figured us out with relative ease which should set alarm bells ringing. Ojo out wide? ?. 

I thought Longstaff had a decent first 15 minutes then totally disappeared.

But from what I did see, it was Brown rather than Ferguson that he was similar to.

If Ferguson departs then we may see Longstaff deployed further forward and be more of an influence. At least we now have a fortnight for Glass to work on integrating the new players, although it wouldn't surprise me if he gives the whole team the first week off

Oh ok. So this is ok now because we lost a previous game with a depressing manager 4-1.

That means all results any/slightly better against them at home with new managers are acceptable? Is that how you judge things? 
 

Your acceptance is of a mid table at best team if that is the case

Ojo’s one, rameriz one were two sitters. More good chances where the blocked goal bound shots. 

Nah, they aren't sitters.  The one where their goalscorer was played clean through, for example, was a sitter. 

[Big Hat Logan]

One positive today was that I got to see Campbell playing some really good passes, he has to be given a chance in the midfield I think.

I almost bought some snake oil from a man who has been in America. I'm glad I didn't as it could be poisonous

I guess only saving grace, is after the international break we go to playing every week rather than twice a week.

Team might be able to handle that better.

That is true. Shambles all over.

 

Normally some would look at those stats & say that oooh when they click someone is going to get a real hiding. Problem is we also look very much a team that will see some hidings ourselves. Complete mess. 
 

Who does Glass have working on our defensive side of things? Because it genuinely looks like it has been completely forgotten about.

Yes they were, Ramirez’s was maybe a wee bit harder. They also had a last a last ditch saving header.

I’m clinging to the fact it gives Glass & the coaching team a chance to organise them better & get some sort of style of play.

We just look a bit haphazard & hope for the best just now.

The diagonal switch to Ramsay mid way through the second half was a beauty.

 

A lot of our fans are daft, get carried away with a decent result then when it's not a good result it's the end of the world, every cunt needs to chill out.  Plenty of positives to take from today, we created a lot of chances, on another day we beat them with ease.  Ramsay continues to progress, unreal shift from him with a lot of good balls in the box too which is a great outlet for us to have.  Thought that McCrorie and Gallagher looked a bit better in the second half, still not 100% comfortable but it was an improvement on the first half from them.

It went right over your head but yeah, if we finished mid-table I genuinely wouldn’t be bothered. We are in the middle of change, a lot of things can and will go wrong before we get where we want to be. You seem to be unable to embrace change, try freeing yourself from your negative mindset.

[JakieBastard]

Draw probably a fair result on the whole. We huffed and puffed but we have no one unlocking defences or getting on the end of balls into the box. Not seeing much impact from out high profile striking coach so far.. 

Ojo had his worst game since his mini renaissance. Was back to running around with not much clue. 

We are so bad defensively it's scary. As soon as we equalised and County started putting men forward, there were massive gaps at the back.

Might as well throw another central midfielder in there. Maybe we’ll find someone that can talk to the central defenders & remind them how to play behind a midfield

Yes, absolutely. that diagonal was the kind of thing we were seeing from the opposition in the European games. Has to be given a chance in midfield to try and create things.

Controversial but I would drop Brown and put Campbell in with Ferguson and Longstaff.

He maybe got a call from Gareth Southgate after 15 minutes. Who said he was on the fringes of the England squad? Bit of an oversell there. 

Some nice touches but didn't exactly put a shift in.  A couple of daft passes inside when he should have went outside. 

At least he has the basic technical ability to have more to come as he gets fitter.
