His 3rd goal of the season in just his 8th game of which he has played just 267 minutes.

 

Compare that to Mr Miler who has 3 goals in his 30 games this season!!

 

Yawn, heard it all before. My opinion is still that Miller brings much more than goals to our team and is the type of target man we've missed in the past few years

Much more than goals?  What more can a team want than goals?

What exactly has he been offering us?  Couple of assists and that is about it from Miller.

Think we may well get 3rd and European spot to get crowds interested again but next season will be much more difficult to do the same.  At many times we have pushed our luck which thankfully has held out and is unlikely to do so to same extent again.  Expectation will be much higher aswell.

Never mind next season - our luck most certainly ran out today!!

I think a lot of people are concerned that he's either not very good, or very injury prone. And some people will be worried about the stigma of us signing a player who can't get a game for Dundee Utd. Those complaints may or may not be fair/accurate, but the reaction is understandable I'd say.

Aye a risk for a player plagued with injury but hopefully will prove to be a good addition.

That would piss me off as a player. Not knowing where you're gonna get played or constantly getting played in a position that's not your strongest.

Affore mentioned Clark may have to be moved to right wing back tomorrow if Hart does not shake off his injury!!

I think Clark is no bad out on the wing.

 

I wonder where he prefers playing himself?

Doubt he has much choice!!

Can't kick it either and spends more time falling over looking for fouls than Lee Miller!!

Seriously though, just can't see him returning as just not good enough!!

I can only see us being let down next season. I applaud JC for what he has done over the last few years and I feel excited and proud of Aberdeen again.

 

However, I fear JC has taken us as far as he can. He has made us very hard to beat and put us at the top end of the league again. We may even get a brief flirtation with europe again. JC did exactly this with Dunfermline.

 

He is only interested in bringing in tried and tested players who cost small but significant amounts of money. He doesn't try to unearth players who are at the bottom of a curve and will deliver significantly more with coaching and management. He appears to have very little interest in our youth development. Net result is that we get a team who are very competent but are already playing at the top of their game, there is very little room for growth and development.

 

I suspect the only tangible progress we could make next season is a credible title challenge and settling for CL with a few rounds in the UEFA cup. This feels like a step change from what we have now and would require a better manager to deliver it. I can't see it with JC in charge.

 

All I see left in the tank is a good cup run next season, JC could probably still muster that up along with a top 4 finish and we would possibly feel content but not elated. Although a cup run would fill everyone temporarily with a sense that we had progressed, its a slight falsity if you examine the teams who have occupied the last 4 of our cups in recent years. Its no great shakes but probably the best chance of a smile we are gonna get.

 

Just  my thoughts.

 

With your point on the teams reaching the last 4 of the cup, surely this must realise at what wasted opportunities the past two seasons have been to get on a good cup run. Other than the Queens park disaster, the cup draws haven't exactly been kind to us in all fairness. Gretna didn't get a single SPL side right up until the final last season

Queens Park, Hibs, Motherwell, Hearts, United - the last 5 sides to put us out of cups.  To progress in cups you need to beat these side as still avoiding the old firm!!

Hey, his goal record was good!

Certainly was but is clearly not good enough and is never getting a game now.

This is painfully slow at work who have all the latest browsers but fine here at home with my medieval PC and browser!!

Ah what a day that was.  83 mins and reds give it you'll never walk alone which riled the 5000 odd Rangers fans who were still in the ground and not on the tube!!

Mailing out application forms again will be a good start.  Suicide last year trying to do it all online!! 

Think we may well get 3rd and European spot to get crowds interested again but next season will be much more difficult to do the same.  At many times we have pushed our luck which thankfully has held out and is unlikely to do so to same extent again.  Expectation will be much higher aswell.

Will be controversy no matter how the fixtures come out as 1 of the top 6 will have to play extra away game despite SPL rules saying it shouldn't happen as top 6 same as last year!!

Needed a left winger for years.  Never seem to ever find one though!!

Would be a great signing.  Gets forward and would add a bite of bite to the middle of the park.
