Cannot wait for your just back
I'm eating my tea, it will upset the doom and gloomers, Hibs were good.

Enjoy your tea, but for me it was a massive two points loss due to our inept manager once again.
Hibs were good, the best by far this season. If only we had striker that could finish his tea and a ref that didnae shite it when cosgrove was as clear a red card as you'll ever see....and then scores soon after.
Definite positive signs today.
For me it had very little to do with our manager at all.

Hecky's tactics were to sit back when we went a goal up, Hecky's decision not to play two up front even when they go down to 10 men, Hecky's decision to leave the only striker we have that was scoring regularly on the bench.
Kamberi was rightly dropped by Hecky. His attitude was stinking and a striker needs to lead the line. Doidge had a shocker today but he has lead the line much better than Kamberi has so far this season. For me Kamberi could be top class but needs to work on his overall application.
Hecky was right to drop the only striker at the club that was scoring regularly, I don't know what you mean by attitude....but you aren't doing yourself any favours by keeping your best striker on the bench.
Kamberi has scored one league goal this season and 8 last season, that’s not scoring regularly.
4 John, 4. I am assuming most of the weeping and wailing is coming from those who 'watched the game on the radio'.
We do have a striker that can finish but Hecky keeps him on the bench, the final 20 mins of the first half we let them back into it, Doidge (couldn't score in a brothel) should have had us 1 up before that. Our goal was fortunate but we will take anything just now but in stead of trying to kill the game we sit back and sit again letting them come at us, when Main gets sent off we should have played with two up front but Hecky won't get out his comfort zone so we remain with one up top, 100% Cosgrove should have walked the Ref bottled it then we concede, improving but we still aren't winning games.

How long would you give Heckingbottom to get things right?For me it had very little to do with our manager at all.

And Doidge has scored how many? Flo was scoring regularly pre season and continued in the league but now he is dropped and he is a better striker than Doidge. To be honest I would want them playing together like they did in pre season as they were forming a good partnership mate.
Doidge scored in the league cup, so did Flo. But Flo hasn’t been great so it was worth changing.
I’ve said before neither looks much use as a lone striker, I agree they could be a decent partnership.
It's as obvious as the nose on yer head that the two ahould at least get a few games together but as long as PHB=1upFront there's no chance.
But didn't he try it anyway wirh both Kamberi and Doidge a few games back but got in trouble with where he would play SA?
Which led to us dropping our best player in the midst of a crisis, ye couldnae write it.

Surely if we're in a situation where our main striker fucks up 4 sitters the issue isn't formation?It's as obvious as the nose on yer head that the two ahould at least get a few games together but as long as PHB=1upFront there's no chance.

You may well be right, I'm jist castin about for a solution whatever and one possibility is playin two up front and hoping they somehow have a positive effect on eeach other- and afa formations are concerned it might lead somebloodyhow to a more attacking mindset.Surely if we're in a situation where our main striker fucks up 4 sitters the issue isn't formation?
You're trying to work out the answer to what a professional gambler would call "variance". Looking at the past four games in isolation any independent observer wouldn't worry about us.You may well be right, I'm jist castin about for a solution whatever and one possibility is playin two up front and hoping they somehow have a positive effect on eeach other- and afa formations are concerned it might lead somebloodyhow to a more attacking mindset.
CelticThat reminds me - I better update that - Hamilton probably?
yes.And that's the big picture
Anybody see us beating Hamilton?
I don't
I agree wholeheartedly with your first paragraph. It could've been written by me. I, too, have backed him but after today I would not allow him near the first team squad until he has spent time in the Development Squad re-learning (or indeed "learning") the art of goalscoring. His misses today were inexcusable. (Not his "missus", before Sir Shrink or Haarlem Shuffler get in their tuppence-worth.)I've given Doidge the benefit of the doubt so far as I believe his hold-up play and link play is very good and he is decent in the air, ,however I felt the criticism of him so far this season was harsh as he really up till today had not had a run of starts and had not had any real clear cut chances created for him. Sounds like he has missed three or four great chances today which has cost us two points so no excuses this time....he deserves all the criticism he will undoubtedly get.
Flo is a lot more effective when he has someone up top with him, like he was when he had MacLaren beside him.
Yeh and a reason nobody has signed him!Its games like that that will bring us into contention for relegation.
Aberdeen are rubbish this season....
Flo over Doidge....Everyday of the week.
Theres a reason scouts come to watch Flo.
Only the circus would pay to watch Doidge.
Yeh and a reason nobody has signed him!
Drop either or both the wingers, Horgan is good sometimes, Middleton is poor. Play Flo and another striker Allan behind and a three of Mallan Vela and Hallberg.
Agree, but I don't think the manager will ever deviate from one up front and two wide players supporting.Honestly I’d give Shaw and Doidge a run together. I can see them forging a decent partnership.

He should be binned if he doesn't. He stated he works with what he has. He has 2 strikers, we all know what one can do and he obviously rates the other. Both have proven after many opportunities they can't work in a lone striker role with the players around them, if at all. This is not only costing us points but could put us back as a club a good few years. Why replace a player with another player who can't fit into system and expect to get something from it. Why hes dropping kamberi for not performing in one game to bring him on in the last 15 mins of another game, on his own up front shows he is way out of his depth tactically.Agree, but I don't think the manager will ever deviate from one up front and two wide players supporting.
Do you think he misses his missus when he's trying to score.I agree wholeheartedly with your first paragraph. It could've been written by me.
