    Bizarre how Slivka gets stick for his consistently but not Mallan? Is that because he is always missing? Is that consistency?
    Think the fact Mallam scores often is reason enough to put him in the team imo

    With the way we seem to want to play, we need a midfielder giving a lot more than what Mallan does. If Hecky wants to stick with the 3, Mallan doesn’t have the attributes to play where he wants him to and carry out the role he wants him to

    He doesn't score often, though. He has scored 4 goals in his last 34 games.

    You don’t like Stevie Mallan do you ?

    I think for Mallan + Alan to co-exist, we need to adopt a 3-5-2.

    ————Porteous—-Jackson—-Hanlon
    Gray———Mallan—-Vela—-Slivka——-Stevenson
    —————————-Allan
    ——————Kamberi

    Given Allan a free role to create havoc.

    That formation gets our best players on the pitch. Horgan unlucky to miss out, but he can be a rotation option. Boyle obviously done for the season.

    Yes he's on a poor run and does not warrant a place for his goals alone.

    Fair number of assists as well though.

    I've given him the benefit of the doubt up til now but that was a worrying match from a managerial point of view. The starting midfield was all wrong, the substitutions were baffling, and the players looked lost at times.

    His decision to take Allan off was totally bizarre. 1-0 up with 30 odd mins to go against a poor side where we should be looking to kill off the game and we take off our most creative player. Everyone in the ground knew it was wrong.

    His signings so far havent been anything to get excited about either.

    Absolute nonsense. Allan was on a booking, he was knackered and getting a total roasting because of it.

    I'd agree that he shouldn't have been playing wide in the first place but he had to go off.

    I think we just need to accept that we need to sit tight, give the guy time to make a complete arse of it then eventually he will be away one way or another. He's not going anywhere in a hurry but hopefully this time next year we've started a season with the right guy in charge.

    That's twice I've read you post Allan was on a booking, what match are you talking about because he wasn't booked today? He also didn't looked knackered he looked lost because he isn't in a million years a winger.

    He should've been booked for that challenge that wiped Gray out. Maybe that's where I'm getting mixed up but he was definitely knackered and getting roasted and deservedly got subbed off.

    He shouldn't have been knackered because he shouldn't have been on the wing but that's an entirely different debate altogether.

    But he wasn't, nor were the St Johnstone players who left the field of play to celebrate. He still never looked knackered IMHO.

    I said to my mate today with a out 15 to go this reminds of the Hamilton play off game you knew the goal
    was coming but the players and manager looked incapable of preventing it. We offered zero in the last ten minutes it was hanging on with no idea of how best to do it.

    I just don’t want us to become a circus again.

    i thought we were past that and then there was the Lennon fiasco and now again talk of sacking our manager within 3 league games.

    We need continuity, no other club in Scotland seems to have as many issues like we do when it comes to managers, losing the dressing room etc.

    The buzz of Scottish cup, promotion, Europe and highest point tally has well and truly gone.

    We need something, a couple of known quality signings would do. We’re relying heavily on Hallberg being exactly what we need and good.

    He did. So much so that I predicted him going off about 5 minutes before he eventually did. Same with the goal Doidger.

    two minutes earlier he drifted centrally and played a perfect through ball.

    if you want an excuse you’ll find an excuse. Hecky cost us three points today.

    We won’t be the only club though who’s fans are getting fed up with management. I have feeling the Aberdeen fans patience is wearing thin with mcinnes. It happens at every football club, I’m sure some Celtic fans were calling for Lennons sacking after the champions league disaster. When’s results improve fans quieten, when they don’t well ......

    McInnis may have had a couple of hundred more games

    McInnes has been at Aberdeen about 6 or 7 years and enjoyed a bit of success, but for Heckingbottom I get the sense his face hasn’t fitted for too many from day one. He will always be one or two bad results away from a crisis with little room for error, and such a scenario is not sustainable long term. He won’t be afforded the good will of the fans that Lennon and Stubbs before him had during troublesome spells.

    I agree with this but why people have felt this way from day one is what I don’t really get. Apart from those that were team Lennon and no matter who came in was going to be on to a hiding from the off.

    We had a solid end to last year, just support the team and the players and if we don’t succeed then so be it. He will get sacked if he underperforms but it isn’t in our interests to drag him down it is in our interests to support the team.

    He was also beaten to the ball several times after that and caught for pace more than once, culminating in his rash challenge that wiped out SDG. He was knackered and not tracking runners.

    Thats the typa message which was given out when fenlon was in charge,

    its the guys who boo that want to win the most. The doom and gloomers are the real fans, their daily mood coincides with the fortunes of the team. They are the guys who the club should and need to be listening too, not the happy clapping, Oh it is just a game of football brigade.

    This is an interesting interview when he blamed everyone at the club and the fans for "downing tools" at the end of last season.

    Players may have, that was his responsibility to control though. Fans certainly didn’t, most of us turned up even though, as the games went on, they became increasingly meaningless.
