  1. À draw probably the result we wanted for Aberdeen v Dundee?
  2. Think there might be a good argument to make that with so many clubs in the league struggling in one way or another relative to their finances, McInnes and Docherty are standing out a bit just by making competent decisions. A conservative manager seems to be just what you need this season. A different question longer term and in the crunch games perhaps though.
  3. That's irritating - excellent player
  4. On Vassell, I think he brings a lot to the team. I think the way he plays occupies fullbacks and that gives the space for Armstrong and Kennedy to work. Thought today he was better than in some recent games. But I really don't understand why McInnes keeps him on so long. So much of what he does well is in partnership with Watkins. When Watkins moved positon we weren't going to get that. And it was clear with a man down you'd need a striker that could run himself into the ground. Even if Vassell had been playing brilliantly, I'd still have wanted a sub there for the energy. Strange one - would like to hear McInnes asked about it.
  5. Ach I can see logic to it though I prefer Deas, but I don't think there's a huge amount in it. If you take that as a starting point, going for the player that offers something from set pieces and nodding it on on the wing isn't ridiculous. The whole defensive setup and lack of actual fullbacks etc makes me nervous - but I've got more faith now that McInnes is manager enough to get something out of it. I think a right wing back will be high on priority list for the summer.
  6. Yes - and we've actually played really well in a few of those games too. Limitations into he squad the issue I think. We're ahead of where I thought we'd be and hopefully Stewart and the new midfielder will add something.
  7. BBC report pointing out we've lost 11 points from winning positions.
  8. Unbelievably frustrating, but at the same time it felt a bit "that's football sometimes" to me. You can suggest all sorts of reasonable changes, but I don't think any of them stop that first Hibs goal. It's just one of those things. That makes us more vulnerable when we go to ten men with the impetus with Hibs. Disappointing defending but again, that pressure always has a chance of telling. Missed the red completely, but thought the ref was all over the place all game. Wild decisions. Shouting at Kennedy to get off when it was Armstrong being subbed summed up his day... Would like to see the Vassell chance again - does a really good challenge come in that stops him? We need someone to be more clinical, but I thought Vassell did pretty well otherwise. Thought we coped well with the midfield injuries. Helped a bit by that weird system, but doing so well so few options was encouraging. O'Hara was good too. Just frustrating!
  9. All those attackers buzzing around the Hibs short goal kick routine is going to be a lot of fun
  10. Really pleased he'll be playing every week
  11. The only downside to Mr Highet doing his good work with the club is I can't find the usual Friday press conference team selection news - anyone spotted anything?
  12. Klopp to the German national side and Xabi Alonso to Anfield I wonder?
  13. Ndaba on for the Hibs pace on the wings for sure
  14. No league goals this season. McInnes judgment was right all along
  15. Pleased Sounds like a Magennis replacement?
  16. That sounds a reasonably exciting one. Not used to all this competence
  17. Caley - Hibs and Airdrie - Hearts is my guess
  18. Du du du du du du du du...
  19. Good professional job after the flurry at the start. Great to have a side capable of that. Quite a difficult one to take too many conclusions from as I thought we were just seeing it out from aboht the half hour mark. Dundee are decent and we defended well. We need Ndaba starting (.... NDABA!) and I reckon he will be anyway.
  20. Phew - don't want Birighitti anywhere near Rugby Park for more than seven days... Not happy at no Ndaba
