We haven't signed "average players" - Ntelo, Olasanya, Mahou, Yogane (who looked lively in his cameo last week, presumably that's the law of averages), Happe (makes Milne look like a player) so that's 5 players, half a team, who are dross. As for the rest today it's sad to say that Devlin and Obi2 were our only players looked like they gave a fuck. Seriously how can you substitute Nisbet, who was, yet again, rank (not a rhyming slang), and find out that he's way better than who've put on who are pretending to be fitba players. Well Hibs thrashing us 6-0 was the end of Goodwin...hopefully this'll be the end of Robinson.

I thought we had 5 mins in each half where we played with pace and looked decent, but other than that it was 80 plus minutes of utter shite. Not much to say on the game but I do wonder why we signed Cadden. Devlin hasn’t regressed that much from what we’ve seen last two games and is as good if not better, and I suppose lobban can develop on loan but Lyons and Milne could have easily backed devlin up at right back (ignoring the fact injuries would have impacted.) Obviously worrying when your best player is 34. I don’t think we signed one single player last summer that is better than we had. Maybe mouloua but he needs to be our starting 9 and given time to develop as our main striker. Good to see nisbet finally subbed today, he’s been gash of late, but Ntelo and olusanya up time were terrible. I’ll also blame Robinson for shinnie not being kept on, we miss a leader like him and his influence on the team would have helped this year. Can’t say his replacement Lyons was an upgrade. Ronan injured again? Tough times.

A good few rumours doing the rounds that Robinson has gone. PLEASE let them be true. If Killie get beat tomorrow and sack McCann, a chance that Robinson might be leading them when we face them in a few weeks!!

Think Alan Shearer and one or two others might disagree on that score. I think a player makes the captain, not their position. We hounded out Shinnie because his legs had gone, but would still be our best player if he had stayed. Brad Lyons getting the armband tonight, when Nicky 'Cafu' Devlin was on the pitch, really fucked me off. Devlin is far from our best ever right back, but the guy is a battler who at least gives the impression that he gives a shit.

Why not? Goodwin survived Darvel. There are zero standards at this club - absolutely none…

This 100% has to be one of the criteria for any new manager coming in. Play the youngsters. I think it’s the only way forward for us as a club anyway, signings are too hit and miss so let’s develop the guys we have.

All the Hibs players looked so much more comfortable on the ball, than any Dons player on the pitch tonight and this Hibs side is nothing special. I'm not exactly sure how high up the leaderboard tonights performance was in the all time shitshow performance awards, but it was up near the worst. Every fucking time a team needs a result, during a poor run, they must relish a game against the Dons. You could stake your kids life on the outcome.

The approach with Robinson has been all wrong. Appointing a manager who’s never done better than st Mirren means you risk getting a st Mirren team. And when you then let the guy sign dross from Killie, Hibs, Leyton orient and other assorted shite, you confirm it. We shouldn’t be touching managers from other Scottish teams unless they’re young and/or clearly on the way up, and the same goes for players. Ditto lower English league rot. Why am I watching absolute journeymen like Brad Lyons instead of Finlay Marshall? NGW rather than frame? Cadden ahead of Lobban? Ntelo and olusanya when young fasanya can’t be any worse and can only improve? Id rather we filled the team with our own young players than most of these clowns, although ideally we’d actually just sign some decent players overall to suit the manager’s preferred formation and take it from there. Although that would also involve finding a manager with a preferred formation and who would pick a settled team and I don’t know if we’ll get one of those.

I'm sure he's a great guy and all, but he's way out of his depth managing us. Losing heavily at home to the bottom team in the league is untenable, and he has to go.

You’ve got to say that bevington is - on paper - a massive step up from burrows so surely to fuck we’re aiming high and will appoint someone with a track record and give them a budget to match. Although it’ll probably emerge that bevington used to hang out with Russell brand or Prince Andrew or something.

Agree with the comment above - a striker can never be a captain. Disna work. Aremu should be further forward contesting the ball in the opps half; need a ball player deeper (shout out to whoever mentioned Andrea Pirlo earlier this week because Aremu is clearly in the Hun Gattuso part of that AC Milan 2007 midfield equation, being the physical presence forward, while our playmaker should sit in front of our defence). I don't blame Robinson for everything but I do blame him for our midfield problems.

Was at the egg chasing today so just saw the score. Love of fuck. How long will Cormack let this absolute shit show continue…

Always hoped that Robinson and his players would turn it around but that was it for me tonight (and I realise I am late to the party but) he has to go now. Noted that Devlin was the only player not going off to a chorus of boos . I suppose the next worrying thing is how will we convince a decent manager to come to us and risk his reputation at our current sh1tshow of a club

Tgere weren't many hibs players who weren't better than their opposite today. Devlin and GW would probably be the only ones who werent bested

I think he was covering on the right, but he was knackered by that point anyway. A minute or so before being subbed, he let a player stroll past him with the ball in the box because his body position was so awful (because he was tiring). It's a shame for him, he could probably do a job with a very disciplined role. He doesn't read the game particularly well and is careless with the ball. That rules him out of the role sitting in front of the defence, in my view, which is frustrating. He's just a poor version of Shinnie. Chaiwa was significantly better for Hibs today.

He'd have been aware of Thelin's issues, but it's not unreasonable that he'd want to experience the situation first hand. Sacking the manager a minute after arriving would have been a terrible move, unless it was Robinson, who is universally disliked! Otherwise, you've ignored what I've said. If Lutz has been given the wrong remit then sacking him will only mean the next guy comes in with the wrong remit. I don't need to hear from our sporting director, it doesn't need to be an outward facing role. The club should have been patient and waited for his manager to come available in my opinion. Let him be judged on actual failure. They panicked and overruled him, but it wasn't an egregious overruling either, and so I can see why he didn't jack it at that point. Like a lot at our club, we seem to get potentially the right people in at the wrong time, without the resources in place to back them and then don't back them as promised and then wonder why it doesn't work out. I'd give Lutz the correct job description and let him fail on his own merit with the new manager.

In terms of being positionally suspect McGrath received the ball in complete isolation in centre mof the pitch, had time to control, stroll forward and shoot without any Dons player within 10 yards of him. There are a few people wh should be castigated for a deriliction of duty but Aremu is the person who should have been there. On a seperate note, maybe we look good in training as we are playing against our defenders

A 4-0 defeat at home and we are saying Milne and Devlin only ones to get pass marks - when did we sink that low? I agree though - they were my pick of players in red. Ronan at least tried but he was a poor mans McGrath all told. To have forced out Shinnie as a captain to hand it to Nisbet - holy shit- I get that Shinnie wasn’t as mobile as he once was but Nisbet as Captain? The other option Brad Lyon’s? 🤣🤣Devlin showed more leadership when he came on against Falkirk than Nisbet has shown all season. I actually think you will get more out of Nisbet if he just concentrates on his own game Just sick of the leadership at the club from Cormack all the way down to the wifies team

I expected Robinson to be a failure but he is exceeding even my low expectations. Abysmal for huge chunks of the game today and soundly beaten by a shite Hibs side. Only Jack Milne and Devlin got pass marks today and no surprise they were not signed by this fraudster. We need rid or he is taking us down. Thing is I do not think our Turkish teeth chairman or penguin thief of a sporting director have any idea how to fix this.

Shouldn't joke about that - we appointed Warnock so with Bevington on board wouldn’t put it past the clowns in charge

According to Graham Spiers it's all over for Robinson and the announcement will be either tonight, which given the time it is now seems unlikely, or tomorrow.

No I don't live in Aberdeen any more, so I am restricted to TV and radio. And I get it with Aremu, Aremu is a limited player and he needs to be told what to do, he needs to play pivot or double six and sit and hold and be an old fashioned sort of player. I can't image we signed him to be anything else, problem is the team has no shape so he wanders outside his remit and ends up being a headless chicken chasing shadows. That's what happens when that type of a player is poorly instructed in a team with poor communication and poor leadership. Poor Aremu feels responsible, he's a warrior, he's like a big loyal Cane Corso that wants to bark at everything, chase everything, but he gasses himself and looks clumsy when he does. I will always defend Aremu b/c he's a good private in the trenches and I'd want to be in a trench with him beside me, but never Brad Lyons nor Kevin Nisbet nor Stephen Robinson nor Jack Milne, nor Dan Happe, nor Cadden nor Obi Wan nor any of the rest of them pretty much.

To cut a long story short then, what is the point of Lutz being at our club if he wasn't fully abreast of Thelin's massive failings that we endured for well over a year bar the cup win? That Lutz was given sway over which players to bring in if it shouldn't be part of his job? That Lutz wasn't responsible for Robinson's appointment? That Lutz has now disappeared off the face of the earth when he was the one making it known to all and sundry when appointed of his face being seen and his voice being heard? Seems to be an extravagant waste of money for someone at our club that apparently does nothing though that could be levelled at lots of people at AFC.
