Milan derby currently 1 nil Milan just going into half time. Been a fun game so far

Findlay was defo a McInnes signing after having him at Killie, I doubt he was on JA's radar 2bh. You're missing the point though. McInnes is great at getting the best out of the squad he has and we constantly get told that managers have the final say on whether a player is signed under these analytic scouting systems. They say "I want this type of player and are presented with viable options to choose from. No doubt in my mind we would be in a FAR better position right now if he was still our manager. That's not to say that I'm pining for him, just that I recognise that Cormack clearly gambled to get his own man in the dugout (which, when you invest what he has, is fair enough). The problem isn't the letting go of Derek but the poor choices that have been made since with regards to who is in the dugout. It all does make you wonder if Thelin was actually over-achieving with the squad. Regardless though we are in a right old pickle and Leven is right to say we are in the dogfight now.

The initial point was we wouldn't be in this position if McInnes was still our manager. Are you actually saying you think if Derek McInnes was still our manager but with a significantly increased budget we would have just been papped out of cup by Dunfermline and be sinking like a stone in the league?

Agreed.

Heaven knows you're miserable now

Christ I've not seen an Aberdeen side this inept at the back since Ebbe's first 6 months

Fucking hell this is grim

We look utterly lost out there and have done since they scored really. We have been utterly stinking at the back all game though and macintyre is looking terrible

It's of no shock to me that you're a better man than I Jute

I've never done it and I honestly don't think I could. There's no danger I could sit on my hands for 90 minutes, I would be booted out within 20 minutes

Agreed.

I've admired Camerons work rate and general attitude but yet to see anything from him that's made me think "we need to keep this guy". Not been overly impressed by Geiger though still early days. The real question for me would be is there even enough games left for him to get fully match fit and settled enough to play something resembling his best football (which surely must be significantly better given his pedigree)? Re defenders OD we do still have Tobers on the books though we have no idea if he's actually any good yet.

Armstrong is back in squad for tomorrow according to Leven.

My take is Fergie is trying to help stick it to the ugly sisters one last time 2bh. There's no doubt in my mind that the Dons hold a very special place in his heart but so does the game in Scotland in general and I can understand why he's taking an interest in Hearts. Don't forget we took Stein with us to Gothenburg and I personally have no beef with AF offering some wisdom and encouragement to McInnes given what's at stake.
