    The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23

    in Scottish Premiership General Chatter

    Asked my Swedish friend about Thelin on Facebook and got these replies:

    Done it very well with a modest budget for Elfsborg the last 3 seasons (they were unlucky to not win the title last season). Modern analytic coach, often plays defensive and do not mind aggressive players. I thought he would be the next NT manager (and he interviewed for the role). I would say a good catch for Aberdeen if they have patience, he worked long term at Elfsborg and if I'd say something negative he's never been at a massively supported club where the fans demand results immediatly.

    Elfsborg fans might take umbrage with my classification there 🙂, but TBH it's a place where you can can get away with an 11th place finish by saying you're rebuilding or something (which is not how it is at Malmö, AIK, Djurgården or IFK). But I definitely have respect for Jimmy who made results above his transfer budget and was good at buying on the cheap and developing those players into starters/lucrative sales.

    We have conceded a ridiculous amount of penalties. Can't remember the last one I felt hard done by? **** at Pittodrie? PAOK?

    Aye, feels like almost all of our penalties have been of our own doing, inability to defend, and being absolutely clueless at positioning. When was the last time we had a defence so poor? Don't think we've had defending this bad since the full Stevie P season.

    Was in Dublin at the weekend on a stag, I had to get the earlier flight back to Prague on the Sunday and was cursing my luck running on three hour's sleep. I was the only one to get home with most people only making it back on Monday night (and one via Cologne!). Sounds like the weather has been insane.

    Aye, that's enough for me. There would be a certain amount of credit in the bank from our very credible Conference adventure, but ultimately when you've a squad that is very good on paper but can't perform vs some of the frankly woeful teams in this league something has to give. Don't have any confidence that Robson will take advantage of our games in hand - perhaps a blessing, if the board (or 'FMB') bothered their arse they would see this is a good time to get the change done.
