I reckon you’ve been on the sauce.

From P&J: ”Meanwhile, Leighton Clarkson, 24, could yet remain at Aberdeen beyond January, following the change in the Dons’ management. In November, we revealed the English playmaker also looked to be heading for a winter exit. Both player and club – attempting to cash in on the former Liverpool youth as he entered the final two years of his Pittodrie contract – entertained the Scottish Cup winner’s departure in the summer, with an approach from a Polish club knocked back by Clarkson. Clarkson subsequently fell down the pecking order under Thelin this term – starting just three of 17 games as the Swede ruled he did not fit into his midfield. While Clarkson’s camp are still gauging January transfer options in England and elsewhere this window, the re-appointment of Peter Leven as interim boss, and the prospect of a new permanent manager at Aberdeen, is viewed to have improved his playing prospects. Clarkson was a key man, starting nine of Leven’s 11 matches in charge during his previous, successful extended caretaker stint in 2024. Though Clarkson was on the bench for Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat at Rangers, there is hope he will be rewarded for his second half impact as a substitute. It is understood Clarkson’s representative have also been left feeling positive after conversations with Aberdeen sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel.” Wonder what was said by the Penguin, presumably about the broader approach for the team / style of play and what they’re looking for in a new manager.

Broadly agree with you apart from: Gyamfi - I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him and he should get until the end of the season Lazetic - I’m probably in the minority but I think there’s signs of a talented player in there, he’ll come good - he’s just a bit raw at the moment

Armstrong and Aouchiche are both candidates for being dropped. These are two of the players that have been playing most weeks and we have been pish.

We’ve had two of them…

If Clarkson doesn’t start on Sunday then the assumption will be he is off. Sadly.

But harsh that, he found a few Dons players. And his corners are much better than Karlsson’s!

Ah sorry my mistake. You’re spot on

He’s a winger anyway, not a striker.

I was really hoping he’d get a game so I hope it’s the later.

So he wasn’t involved in getting the likes of Karlsson, Jensen and Nielsen in?

He’s even more set in his ways than Thelin.

Amorim sacked.

Scott Booth until the end of the season. Player/manager.
