The battle of two former Goodwin sides, hopefully we'll fare better than we have in recent weeks, or indeed against them. Above us in the league and with a game in hand. Really need to try and break this rotten run of form. Interesting to see what if any influence BR et al have on the squad in such a short space of time. Hopefully it'll be better than the standard of football he seemed to encourage (McInnes ball) last time round. Has there been any word of whether Besuijen will stay now, or is he definitely offski? Our form against them is all over the shop, after being fairly steady for a number of years. I would like to think Pollock goes straight into the starting XI, it's not like he'd be disrupting anything positive. Out Bed Work Work 1-1, Miovski

Just stay strong, as Jute says, this shower aren't worth it. It's a fucking awful time to be a Dons fan right now but we're all in it together.

If it works out great, but jury is still out on whether he has it just yet. Certainly hasn't set the heather alight when he's been the caretaker role previously. Appreciate it was unlikely that a change in style of play would have been witnessed, but still. Hopefully that changes this time round.

Hopefully with Scales and Pollock, the defence won't be fishy.

I’d love to know what went wrong in Atlanta.

I had no idea if that was true or not. Could well just be classic cormack chat oh and the result? What a fucking disgrace.

I’m sure I read somewhere that some of them are huns?

It’s one of those things that should never have been aired in public. We are an embarrassment right now. Baton has been passed from the huns to us.

Only solution is to sack and put Robson in to hopefully “steady the ship” then take our time to appoint the right guy. I want Cormack to work out as chairman, but he’s been pretty woeful so far

It was all so painfully predictable. Yes, we should have got an equaliser as there was no way Clarkson was offside, but we were toothless. This isn’t a shock. We are horrific and bereft of any confidence from top to bottom. Huge clear out needed. kudos to Darvel, you deserved that.

I wish I shared some of your confidence! Not looking forward to this one at all

The cold balls worked well today then

Six figure sum too. Given it’s in the press, surely that’s bollocks. He actually sounds decent too.

Have moved into gen football chat as he’s no longer ours, however is being linked with a loan move to Watford for the remainder of the season. Be nice for him to get a run of games.

No shocks in the cup today. Setting this up very nicely…

I’m not surprised given the pictures of the venue and our horrendous form. They’ve spent what, £50k on it? Doubt they’ll make that back.

Agreed. I just couldn’t stomach it I don’t think. He irks me. The Nix’s manager would be a good one but I think he may need to try out Asia before going to Europe. Or at least the same pathway as Ange. Aussie, with Turkish descendants, not afraid to try things but he does take a time to make subs sometimes which is infuriating. Has had to do an incredible job with a team that was in essence, away from home for two seasons. Has found plenty of spots for youth as well as some hidden foreign gems. That’s said, I don’t want him leaving the nix but I think it’s inevitable.

All the names on the list and those mentioned (Mackay and Coyle) can get in the bin. Fuck that. Would find it incredibly hard to get behind the club if any of those mongrels were appointed.

The whole thing doesn't sit well with me. Some folk have asked how we can blame the manager? There are too many similarities to other players, Consi, Bates (i'd actually forgotten about him), Besuijen for it not only to be on the player. Give him the service and he provided. It was a shame that he was never really given the opportunity to be the main guy and have either Miovski / Duk play alongside him. Shite.

Out. Wasn't against his appointment, however felt that it was a bit unambitious at the time. Cormack needs to make sure if he does sack him, he can't afford to have a third failure in as many years under his tenure. It's been a disaster from day 1. Yes, there were lots of cracks due to DM's inability to adequately replace and overload the team, as well as tightening of purse strings by presumably Cormack, but we really can't afford to throw another season down the pan. The very least, I expected him to address the defensive issues, given it was so easy to do, but we've got infinitely worse. Consi (now) is past it, but his knowledge of the club, providing continuity would have been an easy win. It's mental. Do we throw cash at this window and hope we get some things right and deal with it in the summer? The list of available managers itself is highly uninspiring.

Was wondering this. It’s also shite for Lewis. What a time to be alive

Thank fuck it's not worked for me tonight. Mental, just mental. Shoogly peg time? Seems like we're miles off.

Anyone else's RedTV lack imagery? I've only got commentary, but still acknowledges I'm in NZ?

Rumour has it that Roos is out for the season, so does that mean bringing in someone else to push Lewis or just promote from within?

Much better than feared then, not a bad side really . Hopefully we don’t sit back
