Playing it out from the back was clearly a team instruction today but the players need to have enough game intelligence to know when not to do it. It was clear today that they don't and it ended up with us being in all types of pressure, in the first half particularly. We were much better in the second half, after Hornby replaced Kamberi, who should never be played as a lone striker. Kennedy and McGinn, who mistifyingly got subbed when he was pulling the strings, are worthy of mention for their second half performances. Overall, a decent 3 points which we sorely needed.

There is a ridiculous notion that persists in some peoples minds that because someone was a hard player or a horrible bastard on the pitch that that somehow how makes them more likely to get the best out of players as they will somehow knock their own attributes into them. Often its the very attributes that they showed on the pitch that makes them unsuited to man management and I say this in direct response to those who would tout guys like Brown as just what the current squad needs to give them a good boot up the arse.

A classic and all the better in that it made Chick squirm

We are a formidable team now, full of character and with superb fitness. Couldn't really ask for more at the moment. McInnes has worked wonders and deserves all the praise that he is getting.

Nah, we need one of those mythical keepers who NEVER makes a mistake like EVER

That was a fantastic performance. What an atmosphere and what a cracking gutsy display. This team has a lot of character!

In but not that confident. Thistle have been pretty solid and we cant convert out chances

All sorted, I can login again- Thanks

Out 0-0 Pawlett to pick up his long overdue injury to ensure that we'll be playing either Scott Vernon or a 14 year old boy in the middle of the park come the middle of September

Sometimes it good development though Mav. Im thinking of Mcleish getting played in centre mid when he first came into the team because Willie Garner was the centre half. It doesnt always harm them

Lets hope not. Its bad enough being without Robson for this one, losing the extra bit Jack provides would leave us a bit toothless in the midfield. Fingers crossed its a minor knock

We have a team this year with the guile and determination that has been lacking for a number of years. DM definitely seems to be doing something right and the players seem to want to play for him. Lets see how we perform against racellicbyraway but I'm starting to feel quietly confident- keep it up boys!

Another go at polishing a turd

Re the bus, I hear that they are going to get a new one, rename it and pretend that its the old one

I like the way McInnes is going about the job of restructuring the team. Think we may just have made a shrewd move appointing him

Yeah was thinking that I would rather see him making a number of clinical strikes within the box rather than the odd rasper but hey if he does that every week then the Dons support may get behind him

Best signing since Van Der Ark

As Frankie Boyle said - He lived the dream- You know that really weird one where you speak like a castrated parrot and are married to a skeleton

Glad to hear that the lad had a good game. I wasn't impressed with him last week when he came on but he obviously has something

Great news, took me by surprise as it bucks the recent trend of players at Scottish club fecking off after a decent season. Boy said he enjoys living in the city and playing for the team and he's proved it. Well done Son

He would have Noah chance if he came to us

The logic behind that escapes me DD. Why would Hartley give up his full time job for an interim appointment with no guarantees of a job at the end of it? Stranger things have happened I suppose

Out. Tricky given the injury situation. A draw maybe the best we can hope for but who knows?

Good news on the debt front. Well done MIle and Aberdeen Asset Management in writing off nearly £6 million between them http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20516243
