Surprisingly I'd agree with that. But its clear for all to see that this has been a problem, but a good start was signing Aluko on a permanent deal. I also think Kerr was a good signing and have hopes for Macdonald in the future. But we haven't replaced Hart and Anderson which are two key areas. Hodgkiss is all very well in the short term, but we need our own right back. I'm still unsure whether or not Seve deserves a place in the team after how he's played for a few years now. I certainly don't want him at the back, but I he definitely doesn't have the pace for the midfield anymore. But then we have the problem of who would replace him, as no-one else has any real bite in the midfield.

Difficult one to call this one, both teams seem to be a bit indifferent in form at the moment. Think it will be a really right game but hopefully Mackie will come off the bench and score the winner! Come on you Reds! Now is the time to get a run going!

To be fair to him, he doesn't always post shite

Most definitely, as he is CV driven and was why I said he would want to leave on a high when his stock would be up the most (such as after a cup win). I don't think he'd get much bigger than us, but obviously he'd get a fair bit of extra cash to play with not only for his team but for himself.

Yes and no. The majority of our league performances were bad last season but we still managed to finish strongly. Last season was exactly why I support Aberdeen, can take you from dispair to extacy and dispair all in a matter of a football match. The highs are great and the lows are horrendous but I wouldn't have had it any other way last season. Obviously I would have loved to have got to a final and won a trophy, but I wouldn't swap anything for what I experienced last season. I had an argument with a Tim about JC this week, he hates him because he is one of the vermin and spouts blood about JC's obvious blue nosed tendancies. I then asked him who he thought would come to Aberdeen and do a better job. He ran a list all of which I disagreed with. I still stand by this and unless we finish lower than we did last season I don't see why JC won't remain, in my eyes at least the man for the job.

Completely agree. I'm pretty hopeful that we'll finish in the top 4 despite predicting we'd finish 5th at the start of the season. Mid season is no the time to change managers. Especially one that has ensured us good finishes at the end of each season. I don't have a lot of time of JC, but I want him to succeed at the club and know if he keeps his head screwed on he could be successful.

I think the two players I was sad to leave were Ryan Strachan (after receiving his award a few months earlier) and Ryan O'Leary. Both moved on for non footballing reasons so I can't hold anyone at the club responsible for that. No other players have moved onto "greater things" and neither have these two, yet, at least.

Aye seen that this morning as well. I don't think that it would be the right time to leave. If his argument was that he'd taken us as far as he could, then that doesn't say much about him. I'm guessing he'd like to go out on a high as it would look better on his CV, but surely he could see that he could take us further than that. At least consistently finish at least 3rd and get to cup finals, top 6 finishing doesn't cut it for me. Does he have a lack of faith in his own ability?

Think he's one of the Faroese(?) Players

We need a keeper and a right winger in Jan at least!

I agree with you except the feeling better now than I did a month ago. A month ago I had far more optimism than I do now. I was confident we would be 3rd by some point in December, but i'm not so sure now. Its nice to see us playing well, we just really need to concentrate more. What was the most frustrating thing about Saturday was that we weren't bossed out the game and lost to yet again, two shite moments of concentration in defence. I know the team have the ability, I just hope Calderwood doesn't change it up for the sake of changing it up.

I think that quote alone is what sums up Jimmy Calderwood. Its bloody annoying.

Charlie Adam should be hung from the rafters for what he did. Clear intent and went for Sone. Usually I would say how it would be surprising that none of the officials picked it up, but then again, it was snake mountain, it was the huns, i'm not surprised.

Its on Al Jazeera sport. You have a PM.

Thats hun "class" for you

Quite excited about this game. Don't know why, probably another one of many lapses in my realistic state of mind. Come on you reds! Jager you have a PM.

Not sure if this should be here or in the general football forum but nevermind.

Good man! Cheers And cheers FJ for the back up plan!

Agreed, he should have scored from that header, but still, it would do his confidence no end of good just getting a full half for Scotland, Fingers crossed he can stick it to the Huns on sat. Incidentally, anyone know of any Hun pubs in Glasgow that would be showing the game? Can't afford to goto the game so figure it would be the next best thing

Next Michael Owen I heard In all seriousness though, as much as I dislike him, we have seen the best of him under JC. He has the knack of scoring important goals for us and he does play for the jersey which can't be said for most players these days. If he only he scored a few more goals he'd be a very good player for us.

Completely agree! He was a waste of a substitution! Everything he touched went wrong to the extent where he even make Clubfoot look good! I was praying for Ferguson's hamstring to tweak when he was being substituted, alas it didn't happen

Thought he played well, they seemed to have at least two players on him all the time though. A good few touches and a decent blocked shot! Well done Lee

Completely agree with you there Ajja, but I didn't think the team had been booed off recently? Especially in the past week? Every set of home fan because agitated and restless when their team are drawing or losing to a team they shouldn't be. Part of the job and whilst I agree that booing isn't doing any good, its up to them to show that they are trying to rectify it by doing the business on the park. Fans won't boo if they see effort and results, which are our minimum requirements.
