Hello folks, long time listener first time caller...
Forgive me to deviate from all the constant negativity..or not as the case may be. There was one mannie in front of me on Saturday who went made with delusion during the game ('that Calderwood reminds me of Bertie Vogts...') so I don't want to suffer a relapse.
Yes, Saturday was poor, yet i'm sure we've all seen the dons play much worse at the start of a season (the ra sellick incident of six or so years back to name one example). And the point is that we're never good on our first game of the season. You'd hope that a regular weekly game against SPL opposition will remedy this soon, and there were a few positives on show. Mulgrew's got a half decent left foot on him and can take a corner. After the last twenty minutes or so of the first half Mackie coming on for the second was a good move and changed the pace of the game completely. Though in saying that you couldn't get much worse than JdV, desperately poor. There were a couple of good plays, some good chances, but as usual the final ball is disappointing: faffing or passing to a marked player where there's someone open on the wing, or just not enough forseight in delivery or stretegy. Hopefully these things can be ironed out as God forbid we're atrocious when resorting to the long ball from halfway down the pitch.
