Bazzas right boot Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Aberdeen are just bouncing about and hoping that things go ok. Aberdeen in particular seem to have no direction or plan on or off the field. They are winging it. Hibs for comparison, although shite clearly have a direction and plan now and time will tell how that goes. Aberdeen need a 5 year plan imo.

Dallas Green Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Really puts that "in transition" tweet that Cormack put out look a bit silly eh. 4th manager in 3 years. That seems to be a long ass transition even though they were apparently through it. Welt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he’ll win the cup or get close to it. Don’t think he’ll finish top six. Think he’ll take a couple of real spankings early doors. Think he’ll be a bit of sideshow entertainment Hibs say, "hud ma beer!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be good to watch they'll be cloggers Not always, his success in the lower leagues earlier in his career was based on having about 6 strikers, all of decent standard relative to the league. 46 game seasons, he would rotate them from midweeks to weekends very well. He is not complicated, he will keep it simple, but he does like his own men. Interesting he mentions the hostile nature of the crowd, he will want play on that as well, Robson did instantly but struggled lately as they got fed up, they may get a pick up in home form again. The cloggers bit, I can believe that, imagine he will not endear himself to our referees though, who have zero sense of humour, that could be a watch.

FarmerTweedy Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 5 hours ago, merseyjambo said: Barry Robson did to us last season what we are doing just now. Winning games in a row against bottom 6 teams plus us at our lowest. He wasn’t a world beater or good manager. He got the expected results when we imploded. This is such a weird appointment. He’s a grinder of results in relegation battles. Aberdeen are unlikely to be in that so I don’t get what he brings unless it’s to get younger players working with an experienced manager after flopping with Bazza Barry Robson was extremely lucky last season in that winning run they had. It included a 1-0 win at Ross County where they only managed the one shot on goal all game, a 1-0 win at St Johnstone when Saints had a guy sent off in the first few minutes (harshly IIRC), St Johnstone's keeper scored the only (own) goal by spilling the ball at his feet when trying to catch a woefully tame free kick, then trying to kick it clear out to the side, and sclaffing it sideways into his own net. Saints were then all over Aberdeen in the closing stages despite being a man short, but didn’t quite manage a goal. And against sevco, their first goal was a badly mishit cross which caught the wind, caught out the sevco keeper, and flukily sailed into the net. Sevco had dominated up to that point and missed a truckload of sitters. They then got a late second thanks to sevco piling absolutely everyone forward trying to get an equaliser.

Yes - it's very much percentage football, but there's a lot of sense in that particularly in a 46-game league. Personally I've always thought he comes across as a decent guy even if has definitely crossed a line a few times with the refs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot will depend on their game a week Saturday, bar the Viaplay game, Hibs have had Aberdeens number and really should have won that one too. Hibs worry now is an influx of players who they may feel obliged to play, Aberdeen dont look as soft as Hibs though, Dundee still a rather large fly in the ointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will know quite a bit I suspect. Sure he was a pundit on BT Sport a few years ago on a couple of Scottish games. Also as he says he spends a lot of time up here. Though he did think Paterson was a right back when he signed him for Cardiff - sure he had some sort of funny dig at Levein about that.
