Thought Glass said it was Watkins that was injured? Interesting possession stats. However, possession was never really an issue under McInnes either. We had huge spells of un-scored possession last season too, which was variously described as "dominating". However, like last season we don't look like scoring. I think if we were to look back at around this time last season there'd have been talk on this board about someone "about to take a hiding" from the dons. We were playing with a lot of invention but weren't finishing, with Watkins providing great all round play without the finishing. We're not looking like giving anyone a hiding at present despite our possession as we look utterly unthreatening. Sounds like Watkins won't make it today as you say (although I don't think that would ever excuse suggesting Samuels up front though!), so it'll likely be Ramirez getting another run out. Hopefully we'll see a bit more invention with Hedges back, but I think that we're so disjointed at times that he might struggle to work out his role. I think I'd like to see us take the Steve Clarke at Killie approach for a while. Simplify everything down to a few basic instructions per player in a recognisable shape (3-5-2 or 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1) that provides good cover. For example, Hayes and Hedges hitting the byline and firing it across with Ramirez making the front post on repeat. Playing it in the channels and pressing the opposition, that sort of jazz. Get us back to some sort of form and then build back in the more elaborate stuff from a position of confidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying others don't shoulder part of the blame BUT that kick out was pathetic and massive contributory factor in conceding. Forty yards or not you would expect your keeper to stick his laces through that and have it into the opposition half. If Lewis spent as much time concentrating on his own game instead of berating David Bates then we would be in better shape. I reserve the right to change my view when I see the incident again later on tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaarDon Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I think our attacking intent is really good and some nice link up play. Glad to see Hedges back and Ramsay making some nice runs up that right wing. Been a lot of criticism of us not having wingers but I think we have used the wings well in this first half.
