Yet again he offered absolutely nothing. Complete waste. He should never play again, but I think I've said that after every game he has played

A mate of mine, who is a rather accomplished sportsman himself, predicted that Pape Gueye would never score for the Dons, after his less-than-impressive start at the club. I bet against him, and obviously won (GIRUY champ)

I've tried to bring this same spirit along for the Milanovic journey, opposed to all empirical evidence. Nevertheless, I remain faithful: it was foretold, Milanovic will score for the Dons.

That game should have been all over by HT.

We were very decent first half. Well set up, disciplined, used the ball well, created chances, good stuff - but then the finishing was utter shite.

Second half, everything wrong with this lot all clearly on display yet again.

A couple of comments on players:

Geiger is a player, excellent footballer, he’d be even better in an actual football team, so naturally we won’t be able to keep him.

Aremu was good first half, but yet again, completely died on his arse fitness wise second half. Not good enough that, he’s been here long enough to get match fit by now.  A summer running the dunes at Balmedie seriously required there.

If this club signs Olusanya this summer they can GTF for all time. How the fuck is that guy making a living as a footballer - unbelievable Jeff.

Can we please stop any talk that those 3 CH’s are remotely good enough or suitable for this league. TBF, Morrison wasn’t horrible tonight, I thought his positioning was generally good, but you cannot play a bunch of CH’s in this league who are so weak physically, lacking in aggression, poor in the air & unable to defend their box - & I include Knoester in that who got completely done and outmuscled by their guy winning the ball into the box that led to their second - which was a decent finish tbf.

We’ve been worse, but we’re just not good, and nobody did anything to change that opinion unsurprisingly - and thankfully - cause that team needs completely ripped up and start again…

Just back from game. Thought we played reasonably well first half, solid enough at back and Aremu and Geiger were tenacious in middle but still not enough offered going forward. Livi decided to go for the win midway through second half and put us under a bit of pressure. We responded with Topi and Milanovic as the game opened up. I thought Keskinen did well, offered more for 10mins than Olusanya did all game. We continue to struggle with creating chances but definitely harder to beat. Steady progress without much to get excited about.

That's a pretty fair assessment .... Canna say we were any better or worse than ye describe .... it was an excitin' game tho .... which, as a fitba fan, Ah hae tae say is a good thing.

We didna get the result Ah hoped for, but didna get the result Ah feared ..... and in the position we're in, a point is progress.

Ah thought Aremu had a good game overall .... puts in a shift, good positional sense, and was at the right place at the right time on many occasions to cover the defence, and also provide a link in the middle of the park. Agree his fitness could be improved, but he seems tae hae a level o' alertness which mitigates.
