Just when you thought things couldn't get much worse, there's another Dons match coming up. It's on Wednesday 28th with a 7:45 pm GMT kick-off.

Aberdeen are pish and Falkirk are not, so I fancy a 0-2 home defeat for the Dismal Dons.

He needs to go. We can’t allow him another transfer window

Do you not think signing Gogic and Mandron, will turn our season around?

Joking aside, it wouldn't surprise me.

how the actual fuk is it possible for fukin Falkirk to come to Pittodrie and have more possession than the home team, and head of back up the road with all three points almost without breaking a fkn sweat what the actual fk

They did it last season too and they lost and signed more players than us in the summer.

I don't think they are as good as they were last season, but McGlynn seems to be better at getting a tune out of what he has to work with.

Never mind, we’ll likely only pick up a maximum of 2-4 points from 12 in the four scheduled November games, so I predict that we’ll catch up with Kilmarnock and Hibs in the lead up to the festive period. Shambles, complete and utter.

Sums up the sentiment of many Dons fans - I have no desire to attend a game ATM even when I’m visiting Aberdeen. Just pointless.

Despite promises to the contrary from certain posters, we didn't win. It was a very unenjoyable game.

A few things of note:

We switched the midfield three times, with Armstrong, Lyons and Smith all being shifted with zero intent and zero effect. It is very clear that Robinson doesn't really understand combinations of player in the midfield.

Aremu provides an absolutely key role in midfield, but he's unreliable. His passing is very slack, and he'll often forget his job of tracking back. He had a fantastic spell at one point, then gave the ball away several times in a row. At the same time, when he was subbed, we completely lost the midfield. Again, down to Robinson not understanding midfield roles it seems.

We massively tired in the second half, inclusive of making five subs. Guinness-Walker, Armstrong, Molloy, Nisbet and Lyons were all struggling, with Smith, Aremu and Happe already shattered before being subbed. That may have something to do with the illness that was going round, but it doesn't bode well. We're not getting three games in a week out of Armstrong, and Lyons has struggled since returning. The 4-4-2 wasn't necessary last night, it requires a lot of work. Robinson should have been more aware of the schedule. I suspect Cadden's injury will be as a result of the amount of work he has put in and number of games played. Poor squad management.

Individuals aside, the lack of tactics is very apparent when you watch a well coached side like Falkirk play. Their movement was excellent throughout, and they quickly moved the ball into space, in clearly rehearsed moves. Robinson brings nothing in that regard. I was keen on McGlynn when Robinson was being rumoured, it was fairly clear he was a better coach and also a known quantity. Maybe he didn't want it, but the disparity in approach between Robinson and other managers is clear, and it would seem strange that we were interested in such hugely different types of manager.

As was I. However, I'm led to believe that McGlynn was never on the shortlist or seriously considered.

I somehow know two Falkirk fans and there was chat last year relating to McGlynn’s health and whether he was on the verge of jacking it in. That seems to have come to nothing though.

I think a lot of us were keen on McGlynn for obvious reasons, he was certainly my pick of all the managers linked at the time.

Also just noticed that the League Cup Semi-Final page e.g., our first was against Hearts (won 6-2) with the date 3/22/47 (all subsequent dates are also Americanised). Cormack's influence knows no bounds!

Does this mean we now have to refer to our first European triumph as "5/11"?
