Another Saturday 3 pm kick-off beckons for the Dons as they travel to deepest, darkest Ayrshire to take on struggling Kilmarnock on the 31st January.

Kilmarnock have Neil McCann at the wheel (at the time of writing) and have only won twice in the league all season. We have beaten them twice already, although we were lucky in both games.

Maybe it's unfounded optimism on my part after today, but I fancy us to cuff them 3-0.

Anyone else's stream terrible? Mine's skipping and buffering constantly. Fawa.

Fuck sake, Knoester off and Nilsen on. Assuming that means Nilsen on his left foot, which is basically like giving away a goal. I'd have considered Jensen on and Devlin at left centre half. Devlin is much better at keeping it simple on his wrong side. Watch how Nilsen plays on his left, drawing the player in and then taking an age to get it on his right and probably losing it. 

Knooster looks fucked. 

Well this hasn't gone to plan, indeed it's turned into a bit of a dog's dinner! 

This is looking serious for Knooster still working on him on pitch

Knoester fucked now, its just going from bad to worse here.

The attitude and application that first 20 minutes was a fucking disgrace - again.

I’m just sick and tired of it, happens time and time again, it’s absolutely inexcusable - and against Killie too ffs…

Being stretchered off now.

Morrison moved across. Good call!

I can’t recall whether Roos was ever this bad compared to how Mitov is now. 

The only good thing about this Aberdeen team is that they give me a lot more free time on a Saturday afternoon for getting other things done.

Need to get Bilalovic off. He's all over the shop on that side.

Your second jab at him, but he’s no worse than keskinen Cameron or Armstrong today. Midfield has been awful so far. Only midfielder involved is shinnie and I fear he gets red.

Outfought and out-thought by Neil McCann. Not a huge endorsement of our temp manager or our current players.

Shocking. Men against boys right now. Get Armstrong off, giving us nothing. Cameron no better. Prob aouchiche at half, maybe kjarten??

Armstrong and Cameron have shown a couple of nice touches here and there but overall it looks like they are playing in quicksand 

Unlucky there, really need a goal.

One thing I would add that I mentioned in the summer.  We should put serious consideration into resigning Bruce Anderson.  He's always a complete pain the arse to play against and he's always good for a goal

Only positive I can take from this so far, is that it only a fifteen minute drive home for me 

I have witnessed us having some shit shows down here over the years and this is definitely one to add to the collection

He has been much worse than the others. The others are doing nothing to create chances (although Keskinen has been okay), whereas Bilalovic is actively giving them chances as he's completely unable to hold his position and press his man. Whilst Keskinen isn't playing brilliantly, he's covering his fullback every time and showing discipline. It's an indisciplined display by Bilalovic that's the issue. I agree, we could take off any of the others for their performances too. 

I would def sub Armstrong and shinnie. Love shinnie but he won’t last 90, and we need greater desire and effort Armstrong doesn’t have. Need more from both but age doesn’t help them either. Def aouchiche, but maybe take the risk and go two up top w olusanya.

Meh. Dont agree. Don’t think Cameron passed to an Aberdeen player first 30 mins. Armstrong didn’t touch the ball. Topi has done a couple of things, but all have been shit.

Lets be honest, totally outworked and frankly bullied all over the park.

As bad as anything we’ve seen under Thelin this season, just depressing.

Defence still a shambles, still cannot win a ball into the box, I mean, WTF do they do in training all week? 🤦‍♂️

Bilalovic anonymous, Armstrong poor, Morrison hmmm (though he needs a chance to settle in) but nobody gets pass marks there.

We did create a couple of good chances (fucked them up naturally) but can’t see us getting anything here.

Couple of new players, but just the same old, same old I’m afraid…

As good as Frame and Keskinen were last week they are poor this week. They aren't the worst but it is disappointing when they have shown what they can do. The same players that looked so dynamic last week are so static today and are not able to match the attitude and effort of a piss poor Killie team.

Can’t blame frame at all, midfield has been shit so he can’t go forward.

I’m no football coach, but Armstrong showing precisely why you don’t want to take him off
