Connor Barron a young Ryan Fraser? Doesn’t look too bad.

Tend to agree with jute here. Ole is not as crazy a suggestion as it sounds. I’m one who doesn’t want the old crap like Adams, lamberts, jack Ross, Goodwin, haven’t heard tommy Wright yet…… we want excitement and intrigue, surely ole brings that. ole’s been successful with smaller clubs, has world wide contacts, and would make it interesting. Plus if we go down the loan route as we sadly have to do, the ties w man utd and molde for example may help. Every appointment is a gamble, why not this gamble?

Ramsay’s raw and young, give him time. He has the pace which certainly helps and playing alongside experience can only help. If he gets better we sell him on for more, if he’s not developing at a higher rate he stays and is prob good enough for us. would like to see Barron play more, is he a wide player? If so he’s first off the bench in a wide role ahead of Montgomery, mclennan, and kennedy. Plus surely Ruth is Ramirez’ back up, give him a run too. who else should we see???

Interesting point, Ramsay and McKenzie got their chances and took them. Would like to see others given a chance. In my opinion, no real point in loan players now, let’s assess what we have. I think at this stage we have to play players in their best and natural position. play Ramsay and McKenzie at full back, assuming it’s a back 4 if mccrorie is out. Ferguson and brown in center mid, hayes and Vicente wide, Ramirez at 9. now let’s see if Robson can get jet to perform at 10. There is flair and creativity there that our team sadly lacks. Give him a chance, nothing to lose. lastly, anyone in goal. Maybe draw straws? 3-1 us, Ramirez Ferguson and jet.

I’d never heard of him, just read up. Given he’s won the league and champions league football, you see him attracted to us? But you are correct, that’s the type I want. And not just a manager whose done the rounds like Lennon. Throw in his chosen assistants plus some Scottish back room staff too, not unlike what Celtic have done. Every hire is a risk, at least it’s an interesting one!

What exactly has Goodwin done? What makes him so appealing?? Has he won anything? 6th in the league but 4 off 10th, not much different to us. I get it’s a smaller budget but I don’t see them playing dazzling football and standing out. there’s a difference between managing st mirren where the objectives are to stay in the league and cup runs, and managing us. I want a manager with a record of success. Every successful and experienced manager has failed somewhere but I want someone who has won somewhere on a limited budget, and has shown he can manage a team to play decent appealing football.

Timing is good, and I don’t want a temp until the summer. We’re not a man utd who can spend millions in the summer. New guy can come in with the incentive of competing for European football, plus has time to assess the squad for a summer market.

We had a winter break to get some training in and work on things, plus a transfer window to improve the squad. 7 games since and one win versus Edinburgh City. Losses include to Motherwell, livi, and st mirren. results don’t lie.

I will also add Mcinnes had to go but he knew our league and what it took to win. He had experience. It had gone stale, going backwards, and his time was up. Glass is learning on the job and, to me, Aberdeen is above that. Not a first time managers job.

Woods has looked poor. Should have lost a goal in the first half similar to the Celtic goal when he’s not brave enough to come out to collect a ball. Let’s it drop and the opponent gets ahead of him. Well player put it over the bar when a lighter touch scores. we are really poor. While I have said give glass a chance, I just don’t see quality coaching and decision making, plus he hasn’t fixed the central creativity problem mcinnes couldn’t fix. Vicente and Montgomery have come in but that has been a few games now and neither have a goal or assist, the main reason they were brought in. Multiple changes at half time once in a while but when you do that regularly it suggests you are getting things wrong and it’s panic changes. I saw little of the game but we play so predictably. Side ways backwards and wide, all too slow and the opponent gets set defensively. No speed or creativity in the middle of the park kills us. And while conditions have been shit of late, we go long a lot more which for the most part is hit and hope. worrying….

And we’re also 4 points off 4th and a European spot, game in hand over 5th and 6th, plus still in the Scottish cup. It’s far from good but just saying. Transitional season and I truly feel a player or two from being a decent team.

Has he called himself that?

I don’t recall us asking what Doc did, I don’t think targeting Russel is fair. I feel Glass is set on a style of play and system but we don’t have the players to play it (yet?) Didn’t watch the second half but terribly boring, predictable and ineffective from what I saw. to be fair to glass he gets two years, one year to implement a system and culture, and 3-4 windows to lock in the players. I do t think we get relegated this year but I think it’s fair to give him some time. As I annoyingly keep saying though, without a #10 this doesn’t get better. With an effective 10 I think we have enough good players to do well.

Awful. Did we have a shot on goal? Has their keeper even touched the ball??? For all that possession it’s pointless ffs.

Same shit different day. Side to side and down the line, then backwards. We have no attacking central threat so the livi defense always have time to get organized and get back. Ferguson ojo drop to get the ball, virtually nothing from jenks. Add an attacking flair player alongside and slightly deeper than Ramirez and it’s a totally different game. We have nobody dangerous with the ball at their feet in an advanced central position. this possession game is only effective if we have players to be effective in the system. Without a #10 it’s pointless and ineffective. Possession without penetration creates nothing. As we see.

That’s playing for bottom of the league Dundee which is a factor. Playing for a better team who create more chances I’d expect more goals. But, ultimately, are we a much better team? Do we create more chances?? That’s an obvious concern but given we have no back up to Ramirez and it’s a mediocre season at best think it’s worth a punt, especially when our window did not make us a better team.

Not exactly what happened…..

He’d be our player by now if he really wanted to come. Although it is record so ultimately it’s not dead.

We have plenty of players to offer them, plus, given he’ll be out of contract, we have the cash. We can make a deal if we really want him, but it’s more if we really want him and he ultimately wants to come to us.

You can’t post this, I get my hopes up…

I don’t think so. He’s leave for nothing in 3-4 months. According to ESPN stats he has 2 goals no assists this year, that correct??? Any real loss??

Always saw him moving to a #10, creative, skilled, and can score goals, a position we’ve lacked since Christie/Maddison. Not quite sure what happened to mcginn to be honest.

Yup, she’s meeting you at Love Street, how appropriate.

True. Or van der ven, ten caat, even ferne snoyl! Or Paul mason, all we’d never heard of who did well for us. Positive thinking!!

Anyone know what’s happening with this guy? Will we see him any time soon??
