He is clearly a very decent manager who knows what he's doing. Fair enough up to a point. But TW put out a team with a bombscare defender in place of a young lad who has played very well for us since he came into the team. He also picked Kabamba (or called Kabambi according to that drooling fud Miller) and Pinnock. He's had a good few weeks to work out how sh!tey these duds are, so why play them? TW is a quick learner, I'm sure, but many of us were really surprised by that starting selection today and did fear the worst. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s taking positives out of things but he’s not happy at the mistakes we are making and is putting that point very clearly to the players. Sounds like they are hearing a few truths they haven’t for the best part of two seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I saw that team like most others thought Wtf. The only reason I could think was that TW was playing the more experienced players in their favoured positions to nullify Aberdeen’s normal robust style and then early second half change and bring on kiltie, lafferty etc to turn a poor low on confidence Aberdeen and hope it would come good. Unfortunately for him Dikamona stood watching to give hendry a free header under no pressure for the only goal. Felt Doyle could have commanded the area better. Another mistake has cost us must be in double figures for errors this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have liked the KTV interviewer to have asked in a bit more detail about his thinking behind the starting 11. Medley was superb when he came on. I can only think he went for the experience of Dikamona but the guy is an accident waiting to happen and his position at the goal was shocking. Why not start with Lafferty then bring him off if he was tiring rather than put him on when we were chasing the game. Kiltie is our creativity but again, only came on too late. Was he not fully fit or was it tactical? TW is indeed an honest and upfront bloke and I’m sure he would have explained his reasoning for the starting line up rather than leaving us to guess. Aberdeen were poor and even RedTv were struggling to find positives apart from the goal. Had we gone for them in the first half the way we did in the second we might have got the point TW felt we deserved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Y Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 It's almost as if Wright has used the gers and dons games to suss out the players ahead of all the cup finals that remain. The real job starts now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimStripey Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 The good thing is he openly acknowledged that shelling balls into the box from half way into the opposition half is completely pointless and clearly something he’ll be working on. We never get in behind before crossing and it obviously drove him as crazy as it does us when he lost it with Pinnock for failing to take his man on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies PaPa Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Keep the faith boys. Sure we need the points, however we have been beaten 1-0 in the last 3 games, no 3-0 defeats like Motherwell at home. As TW said being more clinical or composed up front yesterday would have given us at least a draw. 1 goal defeats away to Aberdeen and Gers would have been looked as OK results in most seasons in the past. TW has changes our shape and we are getting more players up into the box, the results will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How wrong we were I’ve never been Kabamba's biggest fan and don’t think he’ll be here next season. Dyer sticking by him for so long has done a lot of damage IMO. The guy is shot of confidence and in that zone where he can do nothing right. The more he plays the more chance he’s got of recovering but at the same time the longer his goal drought and our winless run goes the more his confidence will take a hit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 The defending for the goal was amateurish again. Dicker and Dikamona both let the players they were marking go free. If Hendry hadn’t scored Taylor would have as both had got free from Dicker and Dikamona. Dikamona is carrying the can for the goal but Ducker was equally to blame. They let their men get free and both ended up letting the players they were marking get goal side. It’s schoolboy stuff. Kabamba squares the ball to Pinnock. It wasn’t a shot as he didn’t kill up to goal. Even if he had passed it earlier it would have been a difficult chance for Pinnock to convert as the Aberdeen players weee closing. By the time Kabamba passed the Aberdeen defenders had closed the gap further. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdaw Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Two questions. Why does Broadfoot feel the need to push the Aberdeen player for the free kick, No threat from the throw in, but a bigger threat from the freekick. Stupid. Why can't Dicker mark his man for the header, Guy simply moved and Dicker let him and then does his usual chucking of the arms in the air......rubbish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Anybody notice that group of stewards sitting in the beach end stand ? Group of around twelve just to the right of the goals. Didn't appear to be doing any ball fetching/cleaning as they were in a relatively small area. Seemed bizarre for a game with no fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
