Yep i find it hard to argue with any of that. Its to early to be booting him out of the door though the relegation-esque home form is providing a lot of ammunition for the pointed guns. We started really poorly last season, remember having similar conversations this time last year, so on the positive side we know calderwood can handle it though negatively why is it happening again? I reckon JC will turn results around though he will never have the full backing of the support. Sooner or later we are going to have to replace the manager but lets hope its because he gets poached by a championship side rather than sacking him.

I quite agree, from all accounts mair and considine seemed to not only be on good form but have a good understanding together. I can understand why JC would want to bring his captain back in to the side but in hindsight he should have gone into midfield

Last year and a half in the job i thought russel really came into his own, was a lot more verbal and a real leader on the park

:hammer: :hammer:

I had a wee look into that and booth played the game after the minkerwell game but that was his last game in red. Patersons run in was abysmall. Lost the last 5 games on the trot. Looking at it made me realise that however much i get annoyed with some of calderwoods tactics or player selection only 4 years ago things were fucking woefull!!!!

Pretty confident about this game which worrys me. Last time i was confident of getting 3 points we lost to fucking inverness

more down to booths play one game then miss three through injury that ensured he didnt get a new contract. Incidently not good enough for calderwood as booth was still available for a new deal when he took over

think this is more an article to point out to mair that he's in the team because of injuries but if he keeps current form up he's got a chance of being first choice. I.e dont rest on your laurels son

Smith injury concern for Aberdeen Smith (left) in action during Aberdeen's recent win over Ayr Aberdeen could be without Jamie Smith for up to two weeks after the midfielder picked up a calf injury. The 27-year-old was sidelined with a similar injury last season and is set to miss the upcoming matches against Hamilton and Dundee United. Assistant manager Jimmy Nicholl told Red TV: "It's come at a bad time for him if it's any longer than two weeks. But we'll have to wait to find out." Zander Diamond and Scott Severin are nearing a return from injury. Midfielder Severin has not featured in Aberdeen's last two games while Diamond last played in the 1-0 victory over Motherwell on 16 August. Nicholl added: "Scott Severin and Zander Diamond came back this morning in training. They were a very high standard as well - they were excellent." Oh well see ya in the last few games of the season then jamie

Aye i thought that, whats this lads story?

I see it as more utilising the versatility of players and if going 343 its putting most players bar seve in arguably their best positions. I.e. mulgrew and foster in midfield and smith and aluko up front

Yep i like that, its flexible as well though cos if needs be seve can drop to defence and we can play 541 or if mulgrew and foster move forward 343

Anything between 4th and 2nd. I think the scrap for these places is going to be tight and that that huns are going to waltz away with the league

Oh yeah inverness jammed a 2nd one, forgot about that

After the terrible opening result we had i did fear the worst but since then we've ground out some impressive results. Also to have conceded only 2 goals in 5 games shows that real progress has been made at the back. Given that we always seem to start the season pretty slowly under calderwood i think this bodes really well for our season prospects. Hopefully we will sign a wide player before the window closes tonight and if we do then im going to be pretty delighted with the squad. Thoughts?

Last game of the season the first time we nearly got relegated and had to play in a play off 94-95 maybe? Anyway we had just beaten falkirk 2-0 (scott thompson and steven glass) and were on the way out of falkirk when literally a boulder comes through the window. Thankfully it landed in an empty seat but if anyone had been there it would have been serious injury. cops were there within 30 seconds to be fair and it turned out i was a hun that did it. Worst part was that we were stuck in falkirk for a further 3 hours, best bit was one of the boys got absolutley hammered and fell in the river. Ripped the piss out him all the way up the road

Interesting. Reckon the dutch boy will be one as i suppose 28 is youngish. Hopefully the other two are a centre half and winger. If we get that in i'll be pretty chuffed with our squad........ though clangers does have his moments and apparently bossu dropped one last night too

More than anyone i blame players who dont want to further their career simpl;y because they dont want to move north of the central belt. Aberdeen's location hinders us a lot in terms of signing recognised players

SFA - the international language of screaming

Mulgrew - class........ nuff said! Kerr - doing just fine as far as im concerned. He's not nor pretends to be a flair player. Mcdonald - thought he was shite in the first half on sat but came onto a game in the second. Jury's out on this boy. Others? dunno not seen anything of them

im quite pleased about this as im going to the loopalu festival in ullapool. Was gutted when i saw it clashed with the utd game. Now i can go to the pub and watch it

Joy division -love will tear us apart

oh ffs clearly not. Just thought it appropriate given the advert ran for about 12 billion years and every time i hear it i remeber how much i wanted to smack the twat in the advert
