resk Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 IMO you are going to finish 3th. the last day st johnstone only shot one time and was goal (where were the CBs?) after that too many chances. I suppose at the end of the season mcInness is going to go out, he has stayed too many years in the same place, and sometimes a change is good for 2 parts, but, do you think with other manager you can finish above 3th? do you remember the years before McInnes?Nah, personally I reckon Well will finish 3th and we will finish 4rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't even finish third last season and looks far than likely at the moment for this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG_03 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm losing my patience with Mcinnes now. We can't score goals from open play so the team/formation needs changed. How can he not see this? Drop Cosgrove as he's been honking the last 4/5 games. Give Lewis Ferguson a rest as the negative football seems to be making him regress as a footballer. 4 4 2 with Anderson and McGinn up front, keep Campbell and Ojo in the centre and watch the goals fly in.... It's worth a try anyway, what a the worst that can happen? we won't score? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) My preferred resolution is that McInnes stays and the results and performances improve under his management, but I have been steadily losing faith this season. I'm also not too keen on mid-season sackings, unless you are in pretty dire circumstances (Hearts with Levein, for example) or there is an obviously better candidate ready and waiting in the wings - if it is to be done, I'd prefer it to be at the end of the season. Maybe I'm too soft, but the "get to f**k" chants just don't sit right with me. Then again, if there is going to be anything that makes me more sympathetic to him, it's probably nonsense like that - he has flaws and makes decisions I disagree with, and I'm not happy with this season, but he has done nowhere near enough to warrant that sort of stuff.

Radford Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 McInnes and the Dons very much going through a spell like he and his Saints team did in early 2011: 12 games and Saints players scored a grand total of zero goals. Expectations are obviously higher at Pittodrie but he rebuilt his team that summer and very much set the foundations for our first top six finish, despite leaving in October. He emptied pretty much all our attacking options and brought in new ones, with Fran Sandaza in particular being hugely successful. He's going to need to reinvent things this summer, if he manages to get to that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McInnes is not the main target of my 'raging' and I've been raging for a decade or more (with a brief respite between 2014 - 2017) and really I should have been raging for even longer but it takes time to see what's actually happening consistently, rather than a blip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
