Changed from 3-4-2-1 to 4-3-3 at half time, and from then on we were by far the better team. And as an aside, AFC need to stop this 9999 crowd shite. Link to comment
thurso Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 First half was ok pen made it look worse than it was second half excellent. Thought all the players were pretty good or excellent but think special mentions for brown Watkins mcgough and Ferguson all three were excellent today Link to comment
RAZOR Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Credit where it's due. Some turnaround. The Horny Reds are back. Link to comment

You avoiding admitting that Glass may not be leading us to relegation? Im not believing that we are guaranteed to keep going and lots to work on but i think your reaction was a little hysterical post Dundee 1 Link to comment
WesthillWanderersFC Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 And we need to give credit to (presumably) Alan Russell. Yet another goal scored from a set piece. Not sure how many that is, but it must be close to half? Stephen Glass must’ve heard me, he just said as much in his post match REDTV interview Link to comment
Crossbow Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Good game played at a good tempo especially second half. Brown immense today. Keep this going and I might forget about Jenks and Gurr. Watkins, McGeoch, McCrorie and Campbell all good and Ferguson second half best he’s played for a long time. Pleasing. Link to comment

daytripping Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I said this week Glass could be like Fergie, 9 points off the huns, we're on our way. 1 Link to comment
Oregon Red Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I am really hopeful if we can keep Watkins, Hedges and Ramirez fit. Exciting combo. 1 Link to comment

robbojunior Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Great turnaround well done with the change to a back 3 for these games and changing at half time as well from Glass. I do think he's been a bit lucky however. Bates looks horrendous and gets worse every game I see him play. Mcgeouch and campbell only in due to injuries as is Brown in defence and the three of them have been excellent.. not sure it would have been the same story without the injuries. All the same, we'll take it and keep it going SG. Was probably due a bit of luck. Watkins is fucking excellent. Link to comment
Alex Ferguson Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 1 good week does not a season make but hopefully it's the turn around we hoped for. A far cry from the sack is Glass Link to comment
Crossbow Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Moving Ojo out of midfield has helped. Hopefully stay that way. Link to comment
Dr_Manhattan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Much better, we absolutely bossed the midfield today. At them constantly from the start of the second half and they just couldn't handle us. Hope Watkins stays fit, a proper footballer. Ramirez also excellent today, never gave their 'defence' a minutes peace and some nice touches, deserved a goal. Brown was just Brown, a class act as most of us knew he would be. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Team deserves massive credit. Especially since we should have had all 3 points midweek too. Not getting too carried away yet though. Bogey team Well up next. Need to put them back in their place & get revenge for numerous results Link to comment
don corleone Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Absolutely delighted with that win today. I thought we maybe just edged the first half, but boy oh boy did we give it too them in the second. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I don't think it's coincidence that the upturn in form has coincided with McGeouch returning to the team. What is absolutely bizarre though is that it's also coincided with the player who it would be pretty unanimous as our consistently best player up till the Hibs match getting injured early on in it and missing the following 2 games completely. Doubtless Ramsay will walk back into the side when he's fit (surely at the expense of Ojo) but MacKenzie might not find things quite so easy to regain his if we keep this kind of form up.

He certainly bigs them up and tells us all how great they are, then we see them and they tend to be shit. Thinking about it, I imagine after watching Hearts for close on 30 years, anyone who was capable of doing 5 keepie uppies would be classed as silky though. 1 Link to comment
redcryptoknight Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I have been a staunch defender of Glass even when the results have not been good. Today was really enjoyable in the end, but we also advertised some of the issues that have been frustrating during the bad run of results. In the first half our possession was a little too meek and we didn't offer enough of an attacking threat. We looked the better side but lost the first goal. This is incredibly frustrating. What gave me hope this week was that the whole team seemed to defend much better and as a group. Either way, I think we are still in the early days of this Glass reign and he deserves more time to work things out no matter how the results pan out. I far more enjoy this Aberdeen when it is working than any Aberdeen team in years and years. 2 Link to comment
daytripping Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Ramirez could be a £20 Million player for us, he's sublime. What a buy. Link to comment
Reed or deed Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 20 minutes ago, Itsagoal said: Hearts are minging. Great second half. Brown motm, Watkins not far behind. McRorie, Campbell very good. Great goals by Watkins and Ferguson. Smart play by Ferguson - he ran past Halkett, then slowed slightly and Halkett had nowhere to go other than to barge him in the back. Yellow card. Smart. Eh no. What would have been smart is if rather than doing that he moved his fat arse up the wing, whipped a cracking cross into the middle for Ramirez to bury and finish the game.

Dr_Manhattan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I think Deano's making a genuine claim as first pick at LB, glad he's the fuck away from CM where he's never impressed me. Looks to have bulked up considerably in the last 18 months. Link to comment

He's like that Iraqi boy, Comical Ali... or whatever. Hearts were utterly awful! They could have taken a real spanking today. Summed it up when they're struggling massively and bring on Halliday!

aberdeen1970 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Is Barry McKay trying to kid folk on that he's Antoine Griezmann? Andy Halliday was a shambles. Link to comment

What I just noticed, skimming the game back, was when Halliday chopped down Ferguson Scott Brown was, as you'd expect, the first Aberdeen player to get there and grab hold of the cunt. What I hadn't noticed was that Ramirez steamed in inna, and grabbed hold of him from the other side, until Brown more or less threw Halliday off the pitch. He seems a happy go lucky kind of fella, but I think if you got on the wrong side of him he'd fuck you up properly. 1 Link to comment
daytripping Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 If we can get Ash Taylor back fit and push Brown into the usual midfield role I don't think many teams will be able to beat us. 3 Link to comment

Halliday did that to try and impress and appease his hun mates, just made himself look like a chump, he's no Simmie, he did it right and got a yellow (harsh). Link to comment
