League Cup semi: Rangers v Aberdeen
League Cup semi: Rangers v Aberdeen

Robinson's St Mirren went into last season's semi-final with three defeats and a draw, then gave Motherwell a seeing to at Hampden. Then, they had five games before the final. They lost three, drew one, won one. Then inexplicably didn't just beat Celtic at Hampden, but actually gave them a bit of a doing. And then, Robinson won just two out of the next 14 league games before getting the Aberdeen job. And now, in 20 league games at Pittodrie, has won only six. If Aberdeen win on Saturday in 90 minutes, Robinson will have won the same number of cup games at Aberdeen as league games. If you count pens, then it will be more. He's been the manager for nearly nine months. Honestly, I wouldn't put it past us to beat Rangers at Hampden, then fail to win a game again until December.

Have a ticket for this but cannot motivate myself to go. Cannot see anything other than a real doing coming our way.

I’m 100% behind cormack. It’s the yank in me. He’s willing to spend money and take risks. He wants to be successful and will gamble, he’ll listen to feedback and try to hire those who can do their job. Why aren’t man utd successful? Chelsea? Spurs? Newcastle? Why didn’t Liverpool win after klopp, they had it all. Why don’t they all win every year? Why can’t they all keep managers? All have a ton of money. It’s not easy. If forming a football club structure was simple we’d have mastered it, as would many a club. So many clubs do things differently. How many teams win season after season, how many clubs sack managers. How many consistently successful managers are there? Not many. Take Celtic, the money they have received in recent years, they should win the league by 20 or more every year. They shouldn’t really drop any points domestically. Even they have their struggles, their set up, their manager. They struggle, going backwards in europe it seems, it’s just a different struggle to us, but their fans aren’t happy either. Across the way at Mordor, go on a bad run and Mcinnes wouldn’t see the season out. It’s possible. We’re failing right now but I credit cormack for not sticking with Mcinnes. He wanted more. Mcinnes staying and funding him would have been safe. But he wanted more, he saw that Mcinnes was limited. But more isn’t easy. It’s painful going through this but moving away from cormack, like moving away from Mcinnes, guarantees nothing. Curious to start reading the new manager thread again. Prob should be warming that up.

My point is actually still the same. I'll explain it. He didn't go out and scout and sign 15 players, the recruitment team found the majority of these players. So no, I don't blame Robinson if Mahou can't kick his own arse. However, he decided to overhaul the squad. He moved on Shinnie, Cameron, Keskinen, Jensen, Kjartansson, Mitov. There are players at the club in Devlin, Palaversa, Frame that don't kick a ball. Instead, he said "sign me more players". He wanted a new squad, he has got a new squad. If you're doing that then you need to have a plan in place, but he has spent the season constantly changing his mind what to do with them. It's that much of a mess that I actually think we were in a stronger position at the end of last season. So yes, he has brought in 15 players, that's correct. No, the standard isn't all down to him. But while some just don't look good enough, some look like they could actually be pretty handy if better coached and playing in a system they catered to their strengths. Armstrong, Smith, Nisbet, Ronan in particular are all good players, but doing nothing under Robinson. So yes. This is his squad. This is on him.
