We were ahead, Aberdeen were creating nothing and we were quite happily letting them pass their way up the park, do f**k all with it, and the counter on them. That ends 1-0 to us and everyone is delighted if the ref does his job. Aye, it would’ve been 2-1 to Aberdeen as he bottled giving the penalty on Ferguson. And 4 minutes injury time? Pffft… try at least 6. Loads of subs, Santa players killing the game feigning injury & general time wasting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a ringing endorsement of the two new strikers on the bench he brought on May and left a clearly fucked Middleton - who put in a real shift but barely touched the ball the last half hour - on till the end. The lack of midfield legs is a real worry with Craig at 50 still looking more energetic than Crawford and Butterfield. We've signed 18 players this season and they're all either dreadful, injured or complete distrusted by Davidson. I genuinely can't believe we're still at a point where May and Craig are our changes after that many signings. And why is Crawford left the highest player most of that second half with Middleton doing his defensive work? Pluses are the back three played well especially once they sorted out Ramirez peeling off Gordon and we were a threat during the first half. Clark and Hendry being out long term would feel like the death knell on this season. 100% agree on the subs. When Aberdeen are playing Brown/Ferguson and a yellow carded Bates at CB we need to challenge them physically. May was never going to do that. Lots of long balls with no chance of getting it under control. Bair for Middleton for the last 15 would have been more than justified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does this all the time once Crawford tires. Sticks him almost as the central strikers and makes others work their c***s in rather than just subbing the guy off. 1 minute ago, Thenorthernlight said: Aye, it would’ve been 2-1 to Aberdeen as he bottled giving the penalty on Ferguson. You're surely not serious about the Ferguson penalty? He gets an unchallenged header from 3 yards m8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's become a cliche: we go ahead then sit back and increasingly nervously defend, allowing our opponents to build up a head of steam. We were desperately lucky to escape with a point there. Seen worse penalties given too, but I'm sure that will be Davidson's whiny narrative again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behave. Dons have a few out too. Dons without Considine, McCrorie, then Gallagher & Brown going off injured with Ferguson playing centre half (very well as it happened) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 A team that has spent most of it’s existence launching hammers around Scottish football bemoaning injuries and refs is mildly amusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dropped off as Aberdeen upped their tempo and committed more men forwards. Allowing them to do that opened space for the counter. Theres more ways to go for a second goal than simply piling strikers on the park. His mistake was May for Hendry. We lost a sticking point up front for when we countered and it made us look disjointed. Tactically I don't think theres any problem with trying to suck teams in when they're desperate, and Aberdeen were really desperate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concern is that when we do go behind, we always look rattled and only the livi game did we look like we had belief. A point is not quite what we need, but it is not a bad return. One defeat in 5 is a marked improvement on where we were, but we need to be converting some of these draws into wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 13 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: You do realise you were "pouring forward" because we had zero fear of you actually creating anything and just wanted space left for counters, dont you? Like you didn't have us pinned back due to the incredible ability in your squad. The fact we couldn't take advantage was pretty much entirely because Middleton was fucked about an hour and after May came on we were effectively playing without a strikeforce, seeing as the manager is still scared of strikers who don't defend at all costs. If that was Aberdeen playing well then you'll remain rooted in the bottom half. I never said we played well. I said we were easily the better team. That was as poor a team as I've ever seen the Saintees take to Pittodrie. We're an absolute gang and your manager is delighted with a point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramirez right in front of the ‘keeper and obstructing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
