This season in the league we have scored 20 goals in 19 games, the joint third lowest tally, which is truly abysmal! We also have conceded 23 goals in those 19 games which puts us in 6th spot for that stat. We are horrendous to watch, there doesn't appear to be any patterns of play, we're slow, ponderous, boring and so far removed from an "exciting" brand of football it's unreal. Some more stats that showcase the reality of what AFC supporters have to endure is that from the 19 league games played this season we have only scored 7 goals in the first half. Those 7 goals came in 4 matches so in 15 out of the 19 league games we haven't scored in the first half, this hardly indicates we are a team that presses early on to get an early goal and overwhelm the opposition. It's also 4 league games from 19 played in which we have managed to score more than 1 goal (Killie, St Mirren, Dundee X2) and in only one game we have managed to come back from a losing margin to win the game (Killie 2-1) and one game where we got a draw from a losing position (St Mirren 3-3) so in 11 games where we have conceded first we have only managed to pick up 4 points. In total we have managed to find the net in 12 out of 19 league games which again underlines just how hopeless we have been up front and we have conceded in 13 of those 19 games so our defence isn't really any better. I don't think it's a strong stretch of the imagination to look at our performances, points accrued, goals scored & conceded since Jimmy came in and foresee more of the same with the added bonus of the tombola getting rolled out on an almost game by game basis. We all wanted Jimmy to be the ONE but in reality he is just another ONE in the long list of ONES that have massively failed. Thanks for the Scottish Cup Jimmy but this is a results, and to a lesser extent performances, based business and with the exception of May 25 you have been no better than Glass, Robson, Goodwin etc.

It's shocking to say but I would give Morton or Elgin more of a chance of a result today at Celtic Park than Aberdeen. We are the most spineless, fearful, wasteful team at that ground and when their manager is 1 defeat away from being sacked we still show nothing to get a positive result.

Thanks for the Scottish Cup heroics Mitov but GTF!!!!! Flapping at crosses, horrendous kick outs and to cap it off an underhit pass that has sealed 3 points for Celtic.

We can all sense exactly what Jimmy will be saying in his post match presser can't we?? Perhaps someone should ask Jimmy... Why 3 subs in the 90th minute? What does he honestly expect they can influence in such a short time? Why does Kjartansson and Bilalovic never get game time when Lobban has shown that youth can bring a lot more than expected? Why, when we can all see it, does he never change shape mid-match but persists when it obviously isn't working? What he will do when Karlsson has to miss a few games? Our over-reliance on him to create magic will be our downfall. I can only hope this new guy Lutz will be having a good few words in Jimmy's ear over the next couple of weeks!

Well if ever a game summed up my thoughts about Jimmy then this is it. What seemed like a decent starting 11 very quickly turned out to be wrong as the first half totally bypassed us and we were lucky to not be down to 10 men before half time. Jimmy changes a couple of players for the start of the 2nd half but not the shape and we amble through the 2nd half and surprisingly get a good goal, against the run of play to be fair. We then, and not for the first time, shoot ourselves in the foot and concede a horrendous goal. Jimmy, for whatever reason, takes until the 90th minute to make a triple substitution and expects miracles when there's 5 minutes left. I really try to be positive but anyone watching that game could see we were 2nd best, by some distance, for almost the full 90 minutes and Jimmy was left looking hopeless by a manager with a fraction of his budget.

The place is horrendous basically. You need to authenticate after every few minutes, you write a reply to someone's post and if you take longer than a couple of minutes to post it then you have to log back in, after authenticating of course, and if you didn't copy what you wrote initially then you have to re-write it all again. Over the years more and more posters have departed and it's just a hardy few that post regularly. I'm sure there'll be other AbMad folk that'll have their own complaints with it.
