It is better to have tried and failed than never trying at all............

Unlucky not to get three points, we played well for 70 percent of the game, a god mix of styles and certainly the passing improving all the time. Defence pretty solid, Warren outstanding , Brill back to his best and no real negatives apart from two dangerous slip ups. but over all the better of the two defences. Had we taken half our chances and we made quite a few I don't think the Dons would have got back at us.

Come on Wanderer you can put in your tuppence worth too.

Renegade, I am glad that you want Yogi to succeed and I do believe that most of our support do. What annoys me is the constant criticism of what he has done in the past, picking on every single failure that occurs now and not giving him any credit for attempting to improve our players' style of play. We have very good players but he knows that they can still be improved and genuinely believes he can help them reach an even better standard. ( remember Bruce and the spider story) There will be blunders made I'm sure, as there has been but given the chance this man could and I feel will succeed, given a reasonable amount of time by the Club and patience from the supporters. Certainly the players themselves seem up for it and they want success. It would also be a help to him if the dark glasses came off some of the so called support and they looked at the wider picture now and again. Why do they think that players are being played in the wrong positions when in fact what is happening is that they are being trialled in different positions in order to build the strongest formations throughout the field. Gordieict yes at the moment we have only two real wingers. Is it not prudent, in our circumstances, to wait till the transfer market opens and then supplement that area from a wide choice rather than rush to get someone in now? I know you are not saying do something now but you say it is a worry we have only two fit wing men! Hopefully they will both stay fit for the remainder of the season. I agree it is a worry because they were a joy to watch against County.

I suspect that this thread may die a death on Friday and rise again on Monday. Brilliant top marks IHE

Yeah Renegade, sad isn't it but that is the impression that is being put across so it is understandable that people are thinking that way.

Aberdeen have conceded less than a goal per game so what makes you say their defence is a weak point and is easily ripped apart ? What a ridiculous post . That's your way of thinking DC and I can see why you have that opinion. However if you care to look back over a lot of their games you will see that they have been really fortunate to lose so few goals. A lot of it was down to good goalkeeping but a lot more of it was down to missed opportunities. Perhaps you see it as a ridiculous post but then perhaps you don't read football the way I interpret it.

This thread will come to a natural end if or when the team on the park begin to entertain and enjoy success again. Should that happen then I doubt anyone will be interested in continuing to post on the thread. In the meantime, I think it is bordering on outrageous that those who don't seem to have reservations about the manager want to censor debate by calling for the thread to be closed. It seems to me that those who have doubts about the manager, while arguing their position, are generally respectful of the views of those who don't. On the other hand, many of those who believe Hughes is doing a good job seem to be intolerant of the opposing view even being voiced and describe reasoned and considered counter argument as vitriol simply on the basis that it does not accord with their own view. There are a range of views among fans but there are no sides or factionalism other than in the minds of those who will brook no opinion other than their own. If anyone is offended by the mere existence of this thread the simple remedy for them is to ignore it at let the rest of us get on with debating what we each sincerely believe to be in the best interests of our club. OK ok I'll nibble your bait once more; You do not want a debate, you want to dictate under that pretence................Trouble is it is transparent and obvious. I do not wish to ignore any reasoned threads, there are some really good posters who contribute constructively and who deal with the present and future of ICT. I am interested to read their views and opinions .............. The others........... I just shake my head and wonder why they have to write from a mixture of hearsay and uninformed opinion or use secondhand opinion gleaned from a minority of ignorant posters on other forums. Posters who think it is clever to slate a good honest manager or/and deride anything that they do not agree with or THINK that they know more about the subject be it person or incidence. Some on here just do not want John Hughes as our manager regardless of what he does or does not do . These same people are now so committed to sowing seeds of his downfall that they are running scared that he might just yet prove them wrong. Oh yes some even say they do not want him to fail! Why then, if they want to be proved wrong, do they keep on posting in the same vein time after time?????

THE END

Well nobody has said it so full house for me

trap

Good article, great spirit and full of the right attitude...........well said young man!

One game at a time folks...........first up the Dons, Strongest point their shooting but they have to be given space, getting to the ball before them and closing them down fast and hard is important. Weakest point their defence, easily ripped apart, win and hold the midfield then fast passing to and from wings should bring us chances which must be taken. This should be a cracking game and one which we can win decisively.

Can't hear that fat lady singing yet!!!!!!!!
